“They consistently deliver the kind of high-trust, high-craft partnership that is rare to find. Their attention to detail shows up in every cut, and their communication is best in class: clear timelines, frequent check-ins, and zero guesswork about where things stand. They help shape the goal, keep the project moving, and make the final product stronger. We trusted them with our YC launch video, and it was top quality.”

Andres SantanillaCo-Founder at Item · YC F25

“YC launch week is fast paced and high pressure, and we needed a video that could clearly communicate a fairly complex product in a short amount of time without feeling overproduced. Unveil translated what we were building into a clear, compelling narrative with strong pacing and no wasted time. What stood out most was that they cared about getting the outcome right, not just delivering an edit.”

FAQ

Questions founders ask. Answered.

What founders ask us on a first call.

How long does a launch video take?

5 to 9 business days. Launch Pro is 5 business days from the day we get your footage, Cinematic Launch is 5 from shoot day, and Narrative Launch is 7 to 9 from shoot day. Five is the fastest, and it depends on how quickly you send feedback.

How much does a launch video cost?

Launch Pro is $5k: you shoot it, or it's fully animated. Cinematic Launch is $8k: our videographer films you in SF or NY, at one location. Narrative Launch is $12k: a short film with a two person crew across up to 5 locations. Writing the script yourself doesn't change the price.

How do payments work?

50% upfront to get started, and the rest at the end of the project.

What's included in every package?

Script and creative direction, styleframes and storyboard, a project manager, video editor and motion designer, best takes and rough cut, color grading, audio cleanup, animation, sound effects and music, unlimited revisions within the approved direction, and the final film in 4K with subtitles and a thumbnail.

How long should a launch video be?

We usually aim for 60 to 90 seconds. Launch Pro runs up to 2 minutes, Cinematic Launch up to 2:30, and Narrative Launch up to 3.

Who writes the script?

We do, from scratch or from your draft. It starts with a 15 to 30 minute call. For something more unique, we send creative directions first, then the script. It takes 1 to 2 days.

Can you make a fully animated video?

Yes, under Launch Pro. Fully animated videos are also the fastest to make.

Do we need to be in SF or NY?

Our videographer shoots in SF or NY. Anywhere else, you film it yourself with our script and filming tips, send us the footage, and we take it from there.

Where do we shoot?

Your office or outdoors at no extra cost, or a rented space, which usually runs $50 to $300 an hour. We send a shortlist that fits your budget.

How much of our time does the shoot take?

4 to 6 hours on set, planned with a shot guide. Weekend shoots are possible.

How do revisions work?

Unlimited within the approved creative direction. A new direction mid-project is a new scope.

What's the guarantee?

If you're not happy with the quality once you see the styleframes, you get a full refund. It covers quality only, not changes of plans, logistics, or a new creative direction.

Do you use AI?

We don't make fully AI-generated videos. We use AI to plan shots, help with color, and for specific shots. Everything else is made by our team, with no templates.

Do you only work with YC companies?

Mostly YC: 20+ YC launches and 35+ launch videos overall. We also work with a16z speedrun and other venture-backed startups.

Do you help with distribution?

Yes, through one of our partners, who helps launch videos reach more people on X. It's separate from our packages, so ask us about it on the call. We also deliver every film ready to post, with subtitles and a thumbnail, and share what works: post on a Monday or Tuesday, around 9am SF time.

Who works on our video?

Guillermo writes the script and directs. A project manager, a video editor and a motion designer handle the rest, and you get a shared Slack channel with the team.
