How MONA uses AI

MONA does not use AI for everything in a business video

This work goes by several names: AI video editing, AI video creation, AI video production. The name matters less than how it is done. Some AI video services charge 500,000 VND a video: type a few lines, let the machine generate the frames, export the file and hand it over. It looks new, but show it to your staff and partners and everyone can tell right away that a machine made it.

We work differently. In MONA's AI video service , the machine only gets the parts it does better than people. Everything else is still done by MONA's team, the same way we have made TV commercials and company introduction films for years.

Three jobs we give to AI

  • Rebuilding lost settings. The first workshop, the old shop, the street as it was back then. Where there is nothing left to film, AI rebuilds it from the descriptions of the people who were there.
  • Illustration and atmosphere shots. Instead of generic foreign stock footage, we build scenes that fit your industry.
  • Repetitive work. Background removal, noise reduction, and short cuts in multiple aspect ratios for each channel.

Three jobs we do not give to AI

  • The script. Written from interviews with the people involved, not a ready-made template with your company name dropped in.
  • Faces and identifying details. AI still gets on-screen text wrong and distorts hands, so for this part we film for real or use the company's own archive footage.
  • Pacing, color and sound. MONA's editors, colorists and sound designers work through every scene by hand instead of just hitting export.
MONA's AI video service: what goes to AI and what MONA's people do
In our AI video service the split is clear: the machine rebuilds, people tell the story.
Core team and network

MONA's core team does the essential work, and for any step that needs a specialist, we bring in the right person

To be honest, no film studio does every step in-house, and neither does MONA. What matters is what we keep in-house and what we bring in.

The steps that decide whether a film is good stay with MONA's core team: listening to the client's story, writing the script, building scenes with AI, editing, color grading and sound. The studio in our own building, the cameras, lights, gimbals and drones are all MONA's own.

For actors, models, crews in distant provinces or specialized equipment, we draw on a network of collaborators we have worked with for years. Others may do part of the work, but you deal only with MONA, and MONA stays responsible for the result. Your account manager keeps the schedule, and the core team reviews every cut before it reaches you. If something is wrong, MONA fixes it, with no finger-pointing.

Kept in-house
  • AccountTakes in your requirements, keeps the schedule, reports at each stage
  • Creative DirectorSets the storytelling direction and spirit of the film
  • ScriptwriterSits down with you for the interview and writes a script just for your company
  • AI ArtistRebuilds old settings and creates illustration scenes with AI tools
  • Editor & ColoristEdits and color grades so real and rebuilt scenes match
  • Sound DesignerVoiceover, background music and sound effects matched to the mood of each part
  • Post-delivery supportExtra short cuts, subtitle fixes, additional export formats
Brought in when the project needs it
  • Actors, modelsCast to fit the role and your industry; MONA handles casting and fees
  • Film crews in distant provincesFor factories far from the city, we hire a local crew who film to MONA's shot list
  • Specialized equipmentCranes, tracks and professional drones for large factory scenes
  • Voice talent and translationSpecific regional voices or an English version for foreign partners
Outside collaborators only work from a finished script and shot list. MONA's core team still reviews and delivers.

Experience

MONA was making business films before AI existed

What makes a business story film good is the person who knows what to tell and what to leave out, more than the tools. That takes years to learn.

MONA was founded in 2016 and has done all kinds of visual work for Vietnamese businesses: TVCs, company introduction videos, documentaries, event videos and company profile photo shoots. AI is just a new tool in the hands of a team already used to telling stories with images.

Do it yourself or hire

Make AI videos yourself or hire an AI video service?

Today's tools are cheap and easy, and anyone can make an AI video in an afternoon. The real question is when DIY is good enough and when you should hire someone.

Doing it yourself is enough when

  • You need a 5 to 15 second clip for your Facebook page or to promote a sale.
  • You want to turn existing product photos into a short video with gentle motion.
  • The content is short, a single scene, with no recurring characters.
  • If you want to try it first, read AI video tools for beginners for 3 ways to get started, or see free AI video tools to pick software.

You should hire when

  • It is a long film with many scenes, and characters must keep the same face and setting throughout.
  • There is Vietnamese text on screen. Machines often break the diacritics, so each one has to be fixed by hand.
  • Old archive footage is blurry, scratched or underexposed and needs restoring for a big screen.
  • The film will be shown to customers, partners or at an anniversary event, where one wrong detail is embarrassing.
Make AI videos yourself or hire an AI video service
For a short one-scene clip, DIY is enough. Only long films with many scenes need a professional.

In short: make AI videos yourself for everyday posts. A film that represents your company should have a professional behind it.

Value

Using AI where it helps, so your budget buys more film

When we make videos with AI, we neither force AI into every step nor avoid it to look handmade. The rule is simple: where AI is faster and more accurate, AI does it; where it does poorly, people do it.

Money used to go into building sets or hiring a crew for illustration shots. Now it can go into the script and post-production, which is what viewers actually notice.

The Nhựa Đại Đồng Tiến film at the top of the page shows this approach most clearly. The meeting and the factory in 1983 are the company's real archive footage. The parts nobody had kept a single frame of, we rebuilt. If you want to hear how your company's story could work on film, call 1900 636 648. We pick up from 8am to 10pm every day.

Watch the films, then decide

Videos MONA has made for clients. Watch them on YouTube

MONA was filming for clients long before AI: TVCs, business films, product videos, event videos. AI is one more tool in the kit; the storytelling skill comes from more than 14,000 projects. Below are a few notable films from different industries. The full library is at MONA Video, or see just TV commercial production and company introduction films.

Project photo library

A library of real photos and footage, so AI learns what your company really looks like

An AI video is only as good as the material you feed it. Give AI a few blurry photos and you get a lifeless film; give it a well-shot set of material and the rebuilt scenes look like your company down to the signboards. MONA has its own studio and a photo and video crew out on projects every week, so we shoot this material ourselves instead of buying stock. See our product photography, company profile photography and factory photography services if you want this material shot as well.

Getting the feel right takes knowing the industry

AI company videos for each industry

Each industry tells its story differently: a spa needs viewers to see it is clean and feel relaxed, a factory needs partners to see its scale, fashion needs every frame to look good. MONA has filmed for almost every industry, so when we build with AI we already have real material from that industry to get it right instead of guessing.

  • AI video for spas and beauty: spa TVCs, treatment videos, before-and-after clips

  • AI video for restaurants and food: food videos, factory films that meet disclosure standards

  • AI video for events and openings: event recap videos, opening clips
    Events, openingsEvent recap videos, opening clips
  • AI video for shops and retail: brand films, store introduction videos

If your industry is not shown above, that is fine: we have worked with education, clinics, travel, automotive, cosmetics and logistics clients. Tell us your industry and what the video is for, and we will pull a project from the same industry as a sample before quoting.

Price list

AI video pricing: where the money goes and what can be cut

A video's cost comes from four blocks: settings, people, filming days and post-production. AI is not a magic discount; it only cuts the blocks a machine can take over. Use this table to estimate roughly where your video falls:

Cost itemTraditional staged shootMade with AI at MONA
Settings, film setsRenting locations, building sets, moving the whole crewAI builds them from a description, with no filming day needed
Actors, charactersCasting, with fees per sessionAI characters, or your company's own people
Filming days2 to 5 days for a long filmOnly the parts that should be real are filmed: interviews, factories, products
Post-production, cutsEach extra cut is charged separatelyShort cuts for each channel included in the package
Running ads, regular posting Short clips of 15 to 60 seconds

Ad videos, TikTok clips, sales videos. A few million VND, many times cheaper than a full shoot, delivered in a few days.

Website, company profile Introduction videos of 2 to 5 minutes

Company introduction videos, product videos, recruitment videos. Usually about half the cost of a comparable staged shoot, because settings and filming days are cut.

Events, partners Story films of 8 to 20 minutes

Brand films like the Nhựa Đại Đồng Tiến film at the top of the page. About a third of the cost of a traditional film, and able to rebuild whole periods with no footage left.

The script sets the price: how many minutes, how many AI scenes, how many real scenes. Send your request and get a detailed quote within 24 hours. Since 2016 MONA has kept one rule: the price we agree on is the price you pay, with nothing added along the way. Call 1900 636 648 to tell us about the video you need.

FAQ
How can we help you?
Business Video
Questions about the AI video service
1. How is a business story film different from a TVC?
Business Video
  • A story film covers the journey a business has been through, usually runs 3 to 20 minutes and stays useful for years. A TV commercial production sells one product in 15 to 30 seconds and is finished when the campaign ends. If you need to move product fast, make a TVC; if you want people to understand and remember your company, make a story film.
2. How do you make the film if the company has no old photos or videos?
Business Video
  • Yes, it can be done. Wherever old photos, videos or documents survive, we use the real archive, even blurry files or footage from old cameras. Where nothing survives, we rebuild it with AI from the memories of people who were there: the factory in its early days, the old shop, the street as it was. In the Nhựa Đại Đồng Tiến film, the small District 5 workshop in 1983 was built exactly this way.
3. Can viewers tell an AI-made film is fake?
Business Video
  • They can if it is done carelessly. Today's AI video tools are very good at settings, illustration scenes and atmosphere shots, but they often get on-screen text wrong and can still distort close-up faces and hands. We use AI only where it is strong, and use real footage or manual fixes in post-production for face close-ups and details that have to be accurate.
4. Does MONA write the script too?
Business Video
  • Yes, and the script is the first thing we do. Every business story film starts with a 2 to 3 hour interview with the people involved, usually the owner or the person who has been with the company longest. Only after that do we settle the storyline: where it opens, where it stumbles, how it ends.
5. How long does it take to make a story film?
Business Video
  • Usually 2 to 4 weeks for a film of 8 to 20 minutes, counted from when the interview is done. Short 3 to 5 minute films are faster. The timeline depends mostly on how many scenes need rebuilding and how quickly your team reviews.
6. Can I make AI videos myself? Why hire a service?
AI video creation service
  • You can, and for short one-scene clips for your Facebook page you should. DIY tends to fall short on long films with many scenes, characters whose faces change from scene to scene, Vietnamese on-screen text with broken diacritics, and old footage that needs restoring. For a film you will show to customers or partners, hire an AI video service so someone is responsible for every scene.
7. How much does AI video production cost?
AI video production pricing
  • There is no single price, because it depends on length and on how many scenes are built with AI versus filmed. Short one-scene clips cost a few million VND. A long story film usually costs about a third of a comparable staged shoot, because sets, actors and filming days are cut. Send your request and you get a detailed quote within 24 hours, and the quoted price is the price you pay.
8. Can AI videos run as Facebook and TikTok ads?
AI video running as Facebook and TikTok ads
  • Yes. Platforms only crack down on AI content that fakes real people to mislead viewers; business videos made with AI run as ads like any other. We export the right size for each channel and declare AI content under each platform's rules, and so far none of the AI videos we have made for clients' ads has been blocked for using AI.
9. Who owns the copyright to AI-made videos? Could my video end up looking like another company's?
Copyright of AI-made videos
  • The AI scenes are built from each client's own script, not pulled from a shared library, so two companies never end up with the same scene the way they can with stock footage. Music is licensed. Every delivered file belongs to your company, including the source files for recutting later.
