Idowu Damilola Charles, founder
Hi, I'm Idowu Damilola Charles, the director behind Kaniverse.
I build worlds you can film.
I started Kaniverse to give brands cinema-grade film without the cost of a full shoot.
I direct every project from the first storyboard frame to the final grade, across eleven styles of work.
Working from Lagos, Nigeria, with brands anywhere.
The reel
Kaniverse is an AI cinematography studio. We turn a simple brief into ads, films and brand worlds that look like they cost a full production, for businesses anywhere in the world.
Forty-seven films, all directed and generated in the Kaniverse. Drag, swipe or use the arrows to move through the hologram, then tap the film in front to watch with sound.
Eleven ways I make film
Each style has its own workflow. Pick one to see the work and how it gets made.
Workflow
You get
How a Kaniverse film gets made
Three stages from your brief to a finished film. Two of them you'll see. One stays inside the Kaniverse.
We research and write
We study your audience, look at what works in your industry, write the script and design the key frames. You approve before anything moves.
The Kaniverse pipeline
Our in-house process turns approved frames into cinema. How it works is the part we keep to ourselves.
Final cut
Graded, sound-designed and exported for every platform you're launching on.

No. Send clear photos of your product and your logo, and we handle the rest. If you want an AI twin of yourself, a few photos of you are enough.
How long does it take?
From 24 hours upward, depending on the size of the project. We'll give you a clear timeline when we reply to your brief.
How much does it cost?
Every project is different, so send us your brief and we'll reply with a quote and a shot plan.

Yes. You approve the key frames before any motion is made, and every project includes 1 to 2 rounds of revisions.
What formats will I get?
9:16 for TikTok, Reels and Shorts, 1:1 for feeds, and 16:9 for YouTube and TV.
