Pre-construction films.
A living film made from your renders, selling before the first brick is laid.
Selling before it's built.
Every development starts as a promise. A launch film is where people first believe.
We write the treatment and storyboard, then direct the film from your renders and plans, down to who walks through each frame.
Who it’s for.
Developers and sales teams
Sell the vision before any show media exists.
Commercial developers and leasing teams
Show a working day while the site is still under construction.
Hotel and resort developers
Sell operators and investors the feel before first check-in.

From render to video.
Render to video is how a launch film gets made before the building exists.

Launch Film FAQs.
Is ListLift a rendering or CGI studio?
No. We work from what you have, renders, CGI, or drawings, and take it to photoreal film. Need renders first? We'll introduce you to a good visualization studio.
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 business 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?
Real enough that the law makes us label it. We handle the EU AI Act notice, so it's off your desk.
How is this different from a film production company?
A production company shoots new footage with crews and actors, over months. We work from the imagery you already own, so the film shows your actual design, weeks earlier.
What if my property is already built?
Then you want a Hero Film: the same standard, built from your photography.
Send your renders.
Send renders and a launch date. We’ll confirm scope in a business day or two.
