Video production company nowhere film has launched CINEMAI, a service that plans and produces videos across live-action, animation, 3DCG, and AI. The service starts from brand and business objectives rather than from a specific video concept. It combines production methods to realize expressions that would otherwise be abandoned due to budget, deadlines, or shooting conditions. The service began on August 10, 2026.
nowhere film, a Tokyo-based production company, has partnered with video director Bunhaku Sai to launch CINEMAI. The service is designed for companies whose video needs have expanded beyond TV commercials and web ads to include SNS, sales, recruitment, events, and digital signage.
CINEMAI works backward from the business objective of who the video should reach and what action it should drive. It then combines live-action, animation, 3DCG, and AI to design the expression, rather than letting the production method dictate the plan. The company says this approach allows for worlds, characters, and locations that would be difficult or impossible to shoot, and it avoids scaling down a plan to fit budget or shooting constraints.
The service also develops multiple video assets from a single worldview, creating variations in length, aspect ratio, media, and language for different purposes, reducing the need for additional shooting.
