01 / What we do

The biggest technical decisions get made by whoever's in the room.

Not by whoever knows the most. Films have to be cheaper and smarter than ever — yet the choices that decide what's affordable get settled early, in silos, by departments protecting their own patch, and the cost lands downstream where it's hardest to fix.

We work in the space no one owns: the part VFX won't show you for fear it won't work, that production design or locations won't reach for because it's unfamiliar. One accountable team, fluent across the whole toolkit and on your side of the table — paid to take the risk out, not to grow the job.

A saving that kills the shot is no saving at all.

Complexity is our problem,
not yours.

The creature. The crowd. The city at night. The de-age. The location you couldn't reach. The shots you'd have crossed off the schedule — back on the table.

02 / How it works

It starts with the script.

One engagement, three stages — prep, production, post.

The script report

A full read of the script for technical opportunity and risk: where the money and the danger sit, the routes worth exploring, the questions to settle before anyone commits. A flat fee, delivered as something the whole production can actually use.

Scene plans

We take the scenes that matter and build the plan — run the R&D, test the techniques, visualise the outcome in techviz — then hand every department, from VFX and art to locations and post, the same blueprint to work from. A flat rate per scene.

Execution, through to delivery

We roll the agreed plan through production and post: in house on Lexhag's resources, or with the right vendor sourced and managed to our standard, accountable from the floor to final picture. We also structure work across our regional base and international teams to leverage global tax incentives. The only further cost is delivering the plan.

03 / Pricing

Clear from the first page.

A flat fee for the script report. A flat rate per scene to build and test the plan. One rate in prep, one in production, one in post — all set out before you commit. The only variable is the cost of executing the plan we've agreed. You're pricing the whole film, not bidding it shot by shot, so the budget holds instead of drifting as the work meets reality.

04 / What you get

Ours is a visual medium. So are our answers.

So much of how a film gets planned hides in text and numbers. We make it real by thinking visually — techviz and reference QuickTimes that show a technique working before a day is committed, alongside the budgets and workflow guides the whole production can follow. You see the approach on screen first. That's the difference between a plan and a promise.

05 / Who we are

Closer to the craft.

Alexis Haggar & Tom LewisFounders

Am I AI is the sister company to Lexhag, led by Alexis Haggar and Tom Lewis. Lexhag brings the pedigree — high-end film and television effects work, and a reputation for solving the problems other shops won't take on.

Neither of us is a VFX lifer, and that's the point. Between us we've come at the work from practical effects, post supervision, editorial and marketing, by way of traditional VFX problem-solving. We've seen what breaks a sequence from several sides, not just one — which is why we don't lead with a pipeline. The right answer is the one that serves the film, and you only see it clearly when you're not trying to sell a single technique.

Whether it's a single tricky sequence, some overflow capacity, or a broader technical package across effects and post — we're happy to talk it through. Even just a call to model the options would be welcome.
