Optiq Studio · optiq.studio · A DaveLabs product
A studio-quality video ad for less than five dollars.
A broadcast commercial costs $3,000 to $20,000 and needs a crew, a rig, actors and an editor. Optiq Studio keeps the six decisions that matter and removes the logistics — so a bakery, a tailor or a mechanic can make one in three steps.
The problem
A studio-quality video ad costs thousands of dollars. That single number is what locks most small businesses out of selling online.
In countries like America, small businesses get most of their customers online using video ads. Here in The Gambia and across West Africa, almost none can — not for lack of a good product, and not for lack of customers. Millions of people are online every day. The ad was always the missing piece.

How it works
Three steps.
01
Describe your business
Plain language. No brief, no agency template, no discovery call.
02
Describe the video
Tell us the kind of ad you want, or pick a template, then set your length.
03
Press generate
Five specialist agents take over — storyboarding, casting, sound, camera and cut.
04
Publish it
A finished commercial with voice, music and sound design, cut for the aspect ratio you need.
The agents
Five specialists, one commercial.
Director
Paces the narrative and owns the campaign message. Decides what happens in which second, and what the viewer should feel by the end.
Stage Builder
Designs the sets, lighting palettes and colour blocking — so the third shot lives in the same world as the first.
Character Designer
Casting, facial consistency and wardrobe. This is what stops the person in shot two becoming a different person in shot four.
Soundscape Mixer
Balances music tempo, effects, ambience and voiceover tone against the Director’s pacing. Sound is where cheap ads give themselves away.
Cinematographer
Camera motion, depth of field and transitions — 35mm optical behaviour rather than arbitrary drift.
Why the split works
Consistency is a constraint problem, not a prompting problem. No single scene is free to reinvent the cast, the set or the camera.
