Film it before you build it.
The cinematic debut of a development, from your renders, before a single brick is laid.
Your renders, directed.
Every development starts as a promise. A launch film is where people first believe it.
We write the treatment, the storyboard, and direct the film from your CGI renders and plans. Light, weather, pacing, people: every frame made so the place feels alive.
Who it’s for.

Sell the vision, before the show media exists.

How it's made
From render to film.
Input
CGI, renders, drawings, at any stage
Output
Photoreal stills, 16:9 film, cutdowns
First cut
5 to 10 working days
Render to Video is how a launch film gets made before the building exists.
Send us the CGI, renders and drawings. We take them to a photographic finish, then into motion: light moving across the façade, people in the lobby, the view from the top floor at dusk.
01
Treatment
We read the plans and write the film. The shots, the light, who lives there.
02
Build
Renders become photoreal stills, then motion. People, weather, time of day.
03
Finish
Grade, score, master, label. Then the cuts for every feed.
What you get
Photorealistic stills, day and dusk
Styling variations
Cinematic 16:9 hero film
9:16, 1:1 and 4:5 cutdowns
Royalty-free music and sound design
Print and digital-ready formats
Launch film answers.
Is ListLift a rendering or CGI studio?
We don't build 3D renders or CGI from scratch. We take what you have, renders, CGI, drawings, and turn it into photorealistic stills and film. Need renders first? We know good visualisation studios and we'll introduce you.
Do I need finished renders before I start?
Finished renders, CGI or drawings all work, at any stage of design. Better input, better output. Send what you have and we'll tell you if it's enough.
How long does it take?
First cut in 5 to 10 working days. A full campaign set in 2 to 3 weeks. Partners on a monthly plan jump the queue.
How much does a launch film cost?
Pricing is on the pricing page, in your market's currency. Price tracks the scope of the project rather than a day rate for a crew.
Who owns the assets?
You do. All of it. Web, social, print, the investor deck, wherever you like. No licence and no small print.
Will it look like AI?
It looks real enough that the law asks us to say it's AI. Every frame gets a filmmaker's eye first, then an EU AI Act label. Your compliance, sorted.
How is this different from a film production company?
A production company shoots new footage, drones, actors, location B-roll, and bills from €40,000 over months. We work from the imagery you already own, so what comes out is your actual building, weeks earlier.
What if my property is already built?
Then you want a Hero Film: the same standard, built from your photography.
Put your scheme to screen.
Send renders and a launch date. We’ll confirm scope in one business day.
