The talking-head video
One talking-head video, made by people who write code.
A Lumaris talking-head video is a produced video up to 10 minutes long, from €2,000, made for developer-tools and startup teams. You send raw footage and we produce everything after the camera stops, or we put one of our people on camera, from €3,500. Every command on screen is checked line by line by editors who write production code. It is a complete one-time purchase you keep, with no retainer required.
Founder-led from the first message. We reply the same day.
What the €2,000 video includes.
A produced talking-head video up to 10 minutes long. Scenario and script input, a dynamically optimized intro, re-hooks where a developer audience drifts, an animated outro, and the documented dev-accuracy check. Human-made, no AI on the surface. You send the raw footage, we produce the rest, and you keep the finished video whether or not we ever work together again.
Two ways to start
Record yourself, or we put someone on camera.
| Dimension | Footage-in | Actor-fronted |
|---|---|---|
| Price | From €2,000 | From €3,500 |
| You provide | Your raw recording | A topic and a script direction (optionaly, we provide scripts for you if needed) |
| We provide | Full production after the camera stops | The on-camera talent and the performance, plus full production |
| Best for | A founder or engineer comfortable on camera | A team that wants a credible presenter without recording themselves |
The +€1,500 covers the presenter and the on-camera performance. Same accuracy check either way.
Almost right is the version your developers catch.
Most technical video is plausible, polished, and wrong in the details a developer notices. A flag that does not exist, a command that does not run. Our editors write production code, so the draft is accurate before it reaches you, and your engineers review nothing. That is the whole difference between a video your audience trusts and one they mock in the comments.
Shipped your v1 and the only video is a screen recording?
Developers judge a product in the first ten seconds of a video, and a raw capture reads as cheap right when you need to look credible, before a launch or a raise. One produced talking-head video gives you something real to put in front of the audience you are trying to win. You keep it. No retainer, no committee to sell internally, no monthly commitment.
The proof
See the difference on a real video.
- 95 to 99% intro retention, creator-channel Most technical video has lost about half its audience by this point.
- ~5 days to a first draft Premium studios run weeks to months.
- 1 to 2 revision rounds, against an industry 4 to 6 Where the industry typically runs four to six.
Retention is measured on the creator channels we cut, Code with Antonio and Thu Vu, labeled as such and never framed as a developer-tools client result.
Where the retainer comes in.
One video is a complete purchase, not a trial you have to graduate from. If you want more, the retainer, from €6,000 a month, is the upgrade. Start with one video. Keep it. Continue if it earns it.
FAQ
The talking-head video, in short.
Can I really buy just one video?
Yes. The talking-head video is a complete one-time purchase from €2,000. You keep it whether or not you continue, and there is no retainer obligation.
What is the difference between footage-in and actor-fronted?
Footage-in, from €2,000, you record and we produce everything after. Actor-fronted, from €3,500, we supply the on-camera person. The +€1,500 covers the presenter and the performance.
Do you discount the first video?
No. The video is priced and kept, never discounted. The genuinely free step is the spec edit on your own footage.
How fast?
About five days to a first draft, held by a system rather than one good week.
What if I want more later?
The retainer, from €6,000 a month, is the upgrade. On it the effective experience of working with us becomes a lot more valuable than the one-off price. You get a dedicated editor (or multiple), they are learning your brand, your language, your audience. We start working a lot more proactively because we are defining goals together. Each video starts being a part of a common goal we are trying to achieve. You are buying a function, not a stack of videos.
Start with one video.
One video, from €2,000, yours to keep. We reply the same day.
