Cinematic 30-Second AI Product Brand Film (Concept-to-Delivery)

We're launching a next-generation ambient AI hardware product and need a cinematic 30-second brand film for our website hero section, investor deck, and paid social launch. The product has no screen it's an ambient AI companion device that communicates through light, subtle motion, and a single physical touch point. We need a filmmaker/creative director who can translate that into a visually striking, emotionally resonant piece think Apple/Bose-caliber product storytelling, not a spec-sheet demo. What we need: A short narrative arc (not just a product spinning on a pedestal) — dormant → activation → response → resolved hero shot Photoreal, consistent product rendering across all shots (we understand this may involve AI-assisted image/video generation — we're open to your production method as long as the final output is broadcast-quality and consistent) Subtle human interaction (hand only is fine we don't want a spokesperson or face on camera) Minimal, confident voiceover (we're thinking under 20 words total restraint over explanation) Full original sound design: tension build, a clear "activation" beat, and a clean, quiet resolution One on-screen tagline at the very end only no explainer captions throughout Delivered in 16:9 Ideal skills: Strong grasp of cinematic pacing, lighting, and sound design (not just editing) Experience with AI-assisted production pipelines (image generation, image-to-video tools) is a plus, but final craft/storytelling matters more than tool stack Portfolio must include prior work with a comparable "invented product" or abstract-tech visual style — we want to see you can build an identity around a product, not just film an existing one What to include in your proposal: 2–3 examples of similar cinematic/product storytelling work A one-paragraph creative take on how you'd approach the "ambient AI, no screen" concept we want to see your thinking, not just your reel Estimated timeline and whether you'd handle sound design in-house or need us to supply/license it
