AI Cinematic Video Artist (Runway, Veo, Kling) – Independent Film

AI Cinematic Video Artist (Runway, Veo, Kling, Luma) – Independent Film I'm an independent filmmaker looking for a creative collaborator who can bring existing artwork to life using today's AI video generation tools. This is not simply a prompt engineering position. I have already created the finished artwork, storyboards, posters, and key images. Your role is to transform those visuals into cinematic motion through tasteful camera movement, believable character animation, atmosphere, and emotional storytelling. The objective is not flashy visual effects. The objective is to create cinematic moments that feel as though they belong in a feature film. About the Project I'm currently promoting my feature film, Asherah: A Love Odyssey, which recently screened in two private market screenings during the Marché du Film at the Cannes Film Festival. In addition to Asherah, I have several feature film projects in development, so I'm looking for someone who enjoys building a creative working relationship over time. While I cannot guarantee future work, my hope is to find someone who becomes a trusted creative collaborator for future promotional campaigns. Typical Projects Assignments may include: Film festival promotional videos Cinematic social media reels Animated movie posters Short AI-generated teaser videos Trailer sequences Marketing content for independent feature films Most assignments are relatively short and well-defined, with an emphasis on quality rather than quantity. Preferred Experience Experience with one or more of the following AI platforms is preferred: Runway Google Veo Kling Luma Dream Machine Pika Hailuo Comparable AI video platforms Experience with Adobe Premiere Pro, After Effects, or DaVinci Resolve is also appreciated. What I'm Looking For I'm looking for someone who understands: Cinematic storytelling Composition Camera movement Atmosphere Emotional pacing Character consistency Attention to visual detail I appreciate restraint. Sometimes the most effective animation is the one you barely notice. If your instinct is always to make everything move dramatically, this probably isn't the right project. If you understand that subtle movement often creates the strongest emotional impact, we'll probably work very well together. Communication Excellent English communication skills are important. We'll occasionally discuss creative direction over Zoom, so the ability to understand artistic feedback and collaborate creatively is essential. Working Style This relationship will begin with small paid assignments so we can determine whether we're a good creative fit. If the collaboration goes well, I'd like to continue working together on future promotional projects as new materials are developed. Quality, communication, and reliability are far more important to me than speed alone.
