CM Productions makes cinematic AI-driven video for brands, artists and makers. Every frame is directed, every cut is timed to music, and every soundtrack is shaped by someone who has been writing songs for 30 years.
Spec ads, product launches, UGC-style spots, explainers and training video, built fast and scored properly.

I'm Chris Murray. I started as a musician, wrote thousands of songs, and eventually started telling stories in pictures. CM Productions is where the two meet: I direct, edit and sound-design every piece myself, and the music always comes first.
AI is my camera and my demo band. My released music is human-made, and so is every creative decision.
You make the work. We show it off beautifully and send people to your next show. Simple packages, plain prices, no tech headaches.
Short motion pieces built from the photos you send: layered collages, detail reveals, themed scenes and titles. Fast, consistent and affordable.
Anything generated from scratch, like your creatures coming to life or new scenes in HD or 4K. It takes hours of work plus generation costs, so we quote it separately.
Prices are in Canadian dollars. US amounts are approximate; invoices are billed in CAD and the final US cost follows the exchange rate on the day you pay. Packages are entry-level pricing for independent artists and makers.
Real client examples are on the way. Our first artist showcase launches soon.
Every video is cut to music by a working songwriter. Pick the level that fits the budget.
AI-assisted music, hand-picked, edited to the cut and mixed so it sits right under your video.
Your soundtrack built like a session. Source material is cut, re-arranged and knit together with live-played instrument parts, then mixed in-studio.
Written, performed, mixed and mastered from scratch. One of a kind, and yours.
Cinematic spots and multi-part campaigns with consistent characters.
Hero films that make one product the star.
Natural, social-native spots for paid and organic.
