03 — Services
Four things we make
Each one starts from the same place: a brief, a product, and a decision about what world it lives in.
UGC & Creator-Style Ads
Product-in-hand, straight to camera, ending on a clean ecommerce shot. Designed to feel native to the feed, not produced for it.
- Character-driven, bold-claim structure
- No creator sourcing, no shipping samples
- Reshoot a variant in hours, not weeks
Product & Brand Films
Macro cinematography and built visual worlds for brands that need to look expensive before they are.
- 16:9 and vertical masters
- Sound design and grade included
- Stills pulled from the same world
Release & Launch Packs
One brief, one production pass, a fortnight of content. Built originally for music releases; it works for any launch with a date on it.
- Eleven assets across formats
- Fourteen-day posting timeline
- Captions and hooks written to match
04 — Process
How a project actually runs
Four steps. No discovery phase that bills for six weeks before anything moves.
The brief
What the product is, who it's for, and what you need it to do. A paragraph is usually enough. If you don't have one, we write it on a fifteen-minute call.
The visual world
Before a single frame is made, we decide the world — palette, light, texture, tempo. This is the step most cheap video skips, and it is the reason cheap video looks cheap.
The production pass
Every asset in the set is produced from that one world in a single pass. That's why eleven pieces of content cost roughly what one shoot day would.
Delivery
Finished files in the aspect ratios you actually post in, plus captions and hooks. You get a folder, not a Dropbox link and a shrug.

FAQ
Questions people actually ask
What does Princess Light Media do?
Princess Light Media is an AI-native creative studio based in Surrey, British Columbia. We make two things:
Motion design video ads for product brands — short-form ads, UGC-style creative, and product films for DTC, ecommerce, craft beverage, beauty and Kickstarter. And done-for-you local marketing for service businesses in the Lower Mainland, under our Admin-Busters line.
How fast can you turn around a video ad?
Days, not weeks. There is no shoot day to schedule, no crew to book and no edit suite to sit in. A brief becomes a visual world, and the whole asset set comes out of a single production pass.
The Luppolo Brewing spec commercial was built in one sitting from a single product photograph.
Do you need to shoot my product?
No. Most projects start from what you already have — product photography, a logo, a colour palette. If you can send a good photo of the thing, we can put it in motion.
What does a project cost?
Quoted per brief. The two variables are how many finished assets you need and how much visual world has to be built to make them hang together.
Send the brief, get a fixed number back before anything starts. No retainers, no hourly.
Do you work with local businesses as well as product brands?
Yes — that is the Admin-Busters half of the studio. Online booking, reminders, follow-up, reviews, Google Business Profile and social content, set up and then run for you.
Different problem, same studio: take a repetitive, structured job off a busy person's plate and build something that runs without them.
Where are you based, and who can you work with?
Surrey, BC. Local marketing work covers Surrey, Langley, Delta, Burnaby, Richmond and Vancouver in person.
Video work is remote and has no geography — the brief arrives by email and so does the finished campaign.
