01 / Modern Mustard Seed Films

Fashion · Music · Launch · Brand

Films for launches, brands and the stage.

Launch films, fashion films, music films and ads, written, scored and cut in our studio. Every one is built from the real thing: your product running, your collection photographed, your brand in its own voice. You own every frame.

02 / The work

The films. Press play.

Our own brands, our own studio, and spec films made for concept brands to show what a category can look like. Each one is labelled for what it is.

Fashion film

The Agent Collection

Our AI staff walks a Paris runway under the chandeliers, every agent cast as a supermodel, scored to the walk.

Fashion campaign · Spec film

Frames That Roar

An eyewear house where safari animals wear couture. Every look gets a name and a walk.

Music film

They Say Your Name

An original song, written, sung and animated in the studio, about being the business everybody calls.

Music film

Plant It Now

A song for Mustard Studio, drawn in one hand from the first frame to the last bloom.

Product launch

IRL

An app launch cut from the running app. Every venue, address and forecast on screen came out of the product.

Product launch · Spec film

HUCKWILD

A huckleberry drink mix, launched in ink and fruit. One ingredient, no dyes, and a film that tastes like it.

Product launch · Spec film

The Whole Weekend

A wedding product launched for venues and planners: the countdown, the guest app and the couple who make the day.

Explainer film

The Mustard Office

Three minutes inside the AI office that runs our studio, told by Mr. Mustard, one department at a time.

Documentary short

A Day at the Studio

One real day of work. Every clock time and every update on screen is read from that day’s commit log.

Brand film · Spec film

Cairnfell

A luxury mountain-home builder: the homes, the owner portal and the concierge, cut like a property premiere.

Place film

Come Find Montana

Shot and edited by Sarah: Flathead Lake, the mountains and a year of Montana light, scored and cut on the beat.

03 / Nothing on screen is invented

Real screens. Real data. Your product.

A launch film made of mockups sells a product that does not exist yet. Ours are built the other way round. We run the product, keep what it makes, and cut the film from that. When the IRL film says an address, the app found that address. When it shows the weather, the app checked.

  • O’Shaughnessy Amphitheater, Grandview Drive, Kalispell
  • VFW Post 2252, 1st Avenue West, Kalispell
  • The Galway rain line and the Bergen golden-hour shift
  • Twenty-one Italian venues from one trip run

Four lines from the IRL film, all pulled out of the running app

The same film, re-set for a phone

04 / The method

Six steps. The same six, every film.

  1. The product runs for real

    We drive your live app with a capture rig and keep what it produces. Every screen, every result and every line of data in the film came out of the product that day. No mockups, no stock, no filler text.

  2. The cut is written on bar lines

    Picture and score share one clock. Every cut lands on a bar, every reveal on a beat. Nothing holds longer than three seconds unless it is the one moment the film is about.

  3. Rendered frame by frame

    The film is not a screen recording. Every frame is seeked, painted and photographed, so two renders are identical and a dropped frame is impossible. Change one word and re-render only the frames it touches.

  4. A score written from scratch

    Drums, bass, pads, a lead, the risers and the impacts, synthesised for this film and mastered to broadcast loudness. Nothing licensed, so nothing can be claimed, muted or taken down.

  5. Three formats from one film

    The same film re-set for a phone held upright and for a square feed, not cropped. Widescreen for the site and YouTube, vertical for Reels, TikTok and Shorts, square for the feeds.

  6. Installed where it sells

    The player goes on your homepage with a poster frame and loads nothing until the click. It picks the cut your visitor’s browser can really decode and never shows a spinner that spins forever.

05 / Packages

Five ways to book it.

Every package is a set price, quoted in writing before anything is rendered. Changes to the film we built are included, and everything we make is yours: the files, the rights, and the rig that renders them.

06 / The treatment, first

Send it over. Get the treatment.

We study your product, collection or brand and write the treatment: the shot list, the length, the cut points, and which package fits. It comes back within two business days, it costs nothing, and it is yours whether or not you book.

Most founders have never seen their work cut to a beat. That is usually the moment they decide.

Free · No card · The treatment is yours to keep

07 / Questions

Before you book.

What do you need from me to start?

The product, running, and thirty minutes. We drive it ourselves and keep what it produces. If it is not live yet, a staging URL works. The treatment comes back with the shot list and the length before anything is rendered.

Is this generated footage?

No. The screens are your real product, captured while it runs. The type, the motion and the backdrops are painted procedurally, and the score is synthesised. Where a film calls for illustration we generate it to a character sheet, and we say so in the treatment.

What if I want changes?

Changes to the film we built are included. A new end card, a price that moved, a line you want said differently: tell us and it is re-rendered. The film is built frame by frame, so a change touches only the frames it touches.

What do I own?

Everything. The finished files in every format, full commercial rights, the poster frames, and the source rig that renders the film. You can re-render it yourself a year from now, or hand it to whoever builds the next one.

How long does it take?

THE TEASER is delivered within five business days. THE LAUNCH FILM is delivered within ten business days. THE LAUNCH CAMPAIGN and THE SHOWPIECE are delivered within fifteen business days. The IRL film on this page went from a running app to three finished cuts in two days.

Why not Mustard Pictures?

Mustard Pictures makes a cinematic commercial for a local business from a storyboard. The Launch Film is for a product: an app, a platform, a company. The screens are real, the data is real, and the film is written to the thing you built.

Can you put it on my site?

It is included. We install the player on your homepage or launch page: poster only until the click, the right cut for the browser, and a plain link if a browser refuses to play anything. If we built your site it takes an afternoon. If we did not, send the repo access and it takes a day.

You built something. Give it a premiere.

A set package price, delivered within ten business days. Or send it to us first and read the treatment before you decide.
