What is Teaser-Factory?

Teaser-Factory is a desktop AI software for macOS, Windows and Linux that generates visual pre-visualization for filmmakers — before a single camera rolls. The software turns a film logline into pitch-ready visual material within 2–4 hours: AI storyboard, AI-generated footage, music, narration and a pre-cut export for Final Cut Pro, Premiere Pro or DaVinci Resolve. Independent filmmakers, directors and documentary makers use Teaser-Factory to create visual pitch material for film fund applications (Medienboard, FFA, DFFF, Filmstiftung NRW), investor presentations and broadcaster pitches — without the cost of a real shoot. It uses Claude (Anthropic) as the reasoning engine, with the option to connect your own LLM (e.g. a local/offline model). Teaser-Factory offers a free plan plus paid tiers from €14.99/month — see the pricing page for all plans. Developed by Picco-Vision under Picco-Studio since 2023.

The Filmmaker's Dilemma

You can't get funding without a visual pitch.
You can't shoot without funding.

The classic filmmaker's catch-22: investors and funders want to see what the film will look like. But creating that visual pitch costs a shoot you haven't budgeted for yet.

Funding
Funders need to see, not just read

Medienboard, FFA, DFFF, Filmstiftung NRW — a compelling treatment is necessary but not sufficient. A visual pitch that shows tone, look and feel gives your application a decisive advantage over a stack of PDFs.

Investors
Show investors what the film will feel like

90 seconds of visual pre-visualization communicates more than a 20-page PDF ever could. Investors and co-production partners make faster, more confident decisions when they can experience the project — not just read about it.

Audience
Build your audience before the shoot

Why wait until release to build an audience? A pre-visualization published on social media lets you gather followers, validate interest and create anticipation for a film that hasn't been shot yet.

The Solution

From logline to visual pre-visualization. Before any shoot.

You describe your planned film. Teaser-Factory generates a visual pre-visualization — AI-generated footage, narration and a structured cut — that communicates the look, feel and story of your project. Use it to pitch, fund and build your audience before principal photography begins.

Use cases

Every pre-production pitch scenario. One pipeline.

Whether you're applying for funding, pitching to a broadcaster or building your audience — a visual pre-visualization changes the conversation.

Funding
Film Fund Applications

Apply to Medienboard, FFA, DFFF, Filmstiftung NRW with a 90-second visual pre-visualization instead of a text-only treatment. Show the tone, look and feel of your planned film before a single shot is fired.

Investors
Investor & Co-Production Pitch

Pitch a feature to a broadcaster or international co-production partner with a concrete visual impression of the planned project. A 90-second pre-viz beats a 20-page PDF every time.

Audience
Pre-Launch Audience Building

Publish a pre-visualization on YouTube, Instagram and TikTok. Build 10,000 followers before you start shooting. Gauge public interest. Validate your concept with real audience data — before committing production budget.

Students
Film Students & Emerging Directors

Show your vision before you have a budget to execute it. A compelling pre-visualization lets emerging filmmakers pitch projects and compete for attention in a field where established names have always had the advantage.

Documentary
Documentary & Doku-Factory Mode

Documentary Mode runs a Truth-First pipeline. Concepts must be grounded in documented reality — no invented drama, no dramatic licence. Archive material, interview structure and authentic locations are weighted first. CHAR_ tokens reference real people; LOC_ tokens reference verified locations. The output is an honest visual pitch for your documentary project.

Why this pre-visualization is different

Cinematic intelligence. Not generic AI clips.

Generic AI video tools produce generic output. Teaser-Factory is built around cinematic craft — it understands genre conventions, dramatic arc and what gives a visual pitch its emotional power.

Genre-aware pacing

Thrillers cut faster at the climax. Dramas breathe. Documentaries need room for the talking head. The AI applies the right editorial rhythm for your genre — not a one-size-fits-all montage template.

Tension arc construction

A teaser isn't just a highlight reel. It establishes stakes, builds tension, and ends on a question. Teaser-Factory structures the storyboard around a genuine dramatic arc — hook, escalation, unresolved.

Director's voice preserved

The AI is a collaborator, not a replacement. You set the tone, the visual language, the key moments that must appear. The pipeline executes your creative direction — it doesn't override it.

Your characters, not generic faces

Teaser-Factory assigns a unique CHAR_ token to every character and LOC_ token to every location — defined once in Stage 3, referenced in every shot. Your rushes stay on your drive; you match them in your NLE using the shot plan. For missing shots, Veo (Omni) generates them from the CHAR_/LOC_ definitions.

Music, voice and overlays — all AI-generated

AI music, narration and voice-over are generated directly from the script — no music supervisor needed. Text overlays (titles, lower-thirds, end cards) are derived from the script and applied to the timeline automatically. Or bring your own rushes and audio — the pipeline syncs both.

Local — your footage stays private

Teaser-Factory runs as a desktop app on macOS, Windows and Linux. Your unreleased footage never goes to a cloud server. Everything processes on your own machine — secure, offline-capable, and built to align with European data protection standards from the ground up.

Pre-visualization outputs

One pipeline. Every pitch format you need.

Pitch deck video, social pre-launch teaser, press kit clip — different formats for different pitch contexts, same brief. The shots.txt production document includes an NLE export block for Final Cut Pro, Premiere and DaVinci Resolve. You assemble in your editor; the shot plan tells you exactly what to place and where.

FAQ

Questions from filmmakers.

No. Teaser-Factory creates a pre-visualization — AI-generated visual material representing your planned film before any camera rolls. It is not the film. It is not a replacement for cinematography. It is the visual pitch material you use to get the funding and partnerships that enable the real shoot.
Teaser-Factory uses Claude (or your own connected LLM) to analyze your logline, genre tags and mood keywords. The AI applies cinematic conventions for your genre — tension pacing for thrillers, contemplative rhythm for drama — generating pre-visualization material that communicates the planned look and feel of your project to investors and funders.
Yes. Teaser-Factory generates visual pre-visualization material — Medienboard, FFA, DFFF and Filmstiftung NRW accept visual materials alongside written applications. A 90-second pre-viz that shows tone, story and visual direction strengthens an application significantly compared to a text-only treatment. Teaser-Factory delivers this fast enough to meet funding deadlines.
Yes. Publishing a compelling pre-visualization on Instagram, TikTok and YouTube lets you build followers and gauge interest before a single shoot day is scheduled.
