One way of designing story.
For brands, artists, sound and spaces.

What MINT JOURNEY does is, at heart, one thing. We design with strategy (Logic), realize it through AI imagery (Aesthetic), and move emotion through sound (Sound). This is Story Design — applied across Brand, Artist, Space and Sound. Length and format are designed to fit the purpose.

Brand

Branding

Standard

One film · 30-sec baseline
Quoted per project

We design and produce a brand's world as a cinematic film. From strategy through visuals, sound and finishing, one director carries it end to end. Length runs from 15 seconds to several minutes; quoted by length and complexity.

  • Three-act story design
  • Original music and sound design
  • 4K delivery

Branding + Ads

Advanced

Two films · 30s + 15s
Quoted per project

A 30-second film that lets the world breathe, plus a 15-second cut ready for real ad placements — two films built from one world. The format we proved with MĪN.

  • Everything in Standard
  • A 15-second product cut in the same aesthetic

Campaign

Scaled to the project
Quoted individually

Beyond the main film, we bundle short-form variations built for social rollout. Depending on scale and regulation, we team up with external VFX, live-action and 3D specialists to design beyond the limits of AI alone.

  • Variations for social and other specific uses
  • Projects with strict regulation, or where AI alone falls short

Option

Monthly Consulting

Quoted per project

The stage before production: designing the brand's world itself, as an ongoing partnership. We decide what to say, to whom, and through what story — from both strategy and craft. For brands growing the core of their world, not just commissioning one piece.

II

Artist

Music Video / Artist Films

Artist

One film · MV / short film
Quoted per project
Discuss this plan

We translate an artist's music and world into cinematic imagery. Mask began as a music video. As it was made, the story deepened — an opening and an epilogue were added, and it became a three-minute short film. Building a story out of music and carrying it into image: that is where I started. For artists who want to take the world of their music further through film. Quoted by length and scale.

Sound

Music Production / Mixing / Sound Design

Sound is not an accessory to the image.
We design the sound itself.

With a background releasing dance music on an international label, my strength is hearing — and removing — the roughness of AI-generated music. Where many AI films use generated audio as-is, I handle tempo, frequency control and mastering myself. Recently I produced and delivered a one-hour lo-fi mix, described as "a natural mix, with no noise and none of that artificial AI feel."

  • Original music and sound design for film
  • Long-form BGM and mixes for spaces and services
  • Sound design for artists and brands
Quoted per project
Sound · One piece · Music / Mix

Ambient

One film · Space design
Quoted individually

The opposite of advertising that grabs attention: long-form, immersive film that settles a space without pulling focus. We design films that become a "window" for clinics, hotels, lounges and commercial spaces, together with original lo-fi music.
