Posted 2 days ago

Summary

We are a luxury event planning company looking for a long-term AI cinematic video production partner to create a large volume of premium, photorealistic short-form videos for Instagram Reels, TikTok, Facebook Reels, and YouTube Shorts. This is not a request for generic AI Shorts, faceless videos, talking heads, slideshows, animated photos, or simple image-to-video content. We are looking for cinematic AI video production from scratch. The freelancer must create the entire visual world from zero: the venue, architecture, wedding hall, stage, floral design, tables, chandeliers, lighting, entrance, aisle, décor, atmosphere, and every other visible detail. The video must be edited to suit Instagram and TikTok algorithms so that it reaches a vast audience on Instagram. We will not provide source photos, raw footage, or ready-made assets. The final result must be actual moving video footage, not a sequence of still images with camera movement added afterward. The visual standard Think: Photorealistic cinematic luxury real-estate films + high-end hospitality commercials + premium wedding venue cinematography. The finished videos should look as though a real event was filmed naturally with a professional camera or a modern iPhone by an experienced event videographer. We do not want an exaggerated CGI look, glossy 3D-render appearance, artificial colors, excessive bloom, unrealistically perfect lighting, over-sharpening, or the typical visual style associated with obvious AI-generated videos. Realism is the highest priority. Architecture, reflections, shadows, flowers, furniture, ceiling structures, chandeliers, fabrics, flooring, perspective, lighting, depth of field, camera movement, and object interaction must remain physically believable. Each Reel must feel like one real event Every video should contain multiple different shots of the same exact event and the same exact venue. For example, one 30–40 second Reel may contain: * Wide establishing shot of the ballroom * Smooth dolly-in through the entrance * Close-up of floral arrangements * Table and centerpiece details * Chandelier / ceiling detail * Stage reveal * Aisle shot * Side tracking shot across the venue * Lighting detail * Final wide hero shot of the entire hall The ceiling, flooring, chandeliers, tables, stage, flowers, lighting positions, furniture, architectural proportions, and overall design must remain consistent between shots. If the first shot shows one ballroom and the next shot clearly looks like another venue, the video will not be accepted. The venue should generally feel large, spacious, luxurious, elegant, and architecturally impressive — not like a small rectangular function room. Cinematography We want real variation between videos. Different Reels should use different combinations of: • Dolly-in / dolly-out • Tracking shots • Orbit shots • Crane-style movement • Drone-style movement where appropriate • Slow push-ins • Wide establishing shots • Low-angle shots • Natural handheld-style shots • Macro/detail shots • Rack-focus style shots • Parallax movement • Architectural reveals • Entrance-to-ballroom sequences • Detail-to-wide transitions Each Reel should have its own shot structure and visual rhythm. We do not want 30 videos made from the same template with minor changes. Duration Video lengths will vary. Some may be approximately: 15 seconds 20 seconds 25 seconds 30 seconds 40 seconds 45 seconds 60 seconds Not every video needs to have the same duration. Every video you create will differ in terms of timing and variety. The editing should match the natural pacing of the concept rather than forcing every Reel into an identical structure. Editing The freelancer should deliver the complete edited Reel, not only generated clips. That includes: • Shot selection • Shot sequencing • Professional pacing • Smooth transitions • Natural color grading • Strong opening visual • Retention-focused editing • Elegant visual progression • Platform-ready 9:16 delivery No music, voice-over, dialogue, or sound design is required. We will handle the audio ourselves. AI production quality You may use professional tools such as: Google Veo / Kling / Seedance / Runway / Higgsfield or other high-end generative video systems. We care much more about the final result than the software name. The videos shouldn't look so lavish that they seem unrealistic. We do not want videos that are overly lavish to the point of being unrealistic—with hyper-vibrant colors or similar traits—that clearly reveal the use of AI; that is unacceptable. We need videos that are high-end and sophisticated, yet do not look like AI-generated content at all. However, we specifically do not want: • Cheap-looking AI Shorts • Cartoon-style AI • Obvious CGI • Generic stock compilations • Slideshow videos • Talking-head content • Faceless motivational content • Static images simply animated with zoom/pan • Recycled templates • Random scenes from different venues • Morphing furniture • Changing architecture • Warped objects • Unrealistic reflections • Excessive glow or artificial colors • Videos that immediately look AI-generated Internal reference-frame techniques may be used if necessary for consistency, but the finished production must behave visually like real video footage, not like animated photographs. The videos shouldn't look so lavish that they seem unrealistic. References After you contact us, we will send several Instagram Reel references showing the exact level of cinematography, realism, pacing, shot variety, and luxury aesthetic we are looking for. We do not want copies of those videos. They are references for quality, cinematography, realism, luxury level, and overall visual language only. Every venue and every video you create for us must be original and visually different. the reference videos are، past events to represent And replicating the same style، But never exactly the same. Budget and volume Our target starting budget is approximately $15 per finished video, depending on duration, complexity, quality, and volume. The important part is the long-term opportunity. We will begin with a small number of videos to confirm quality and workflow. If the results match our standard, we are looking to scale quickly to: 10 videos → 30 videos → 50 videos → potentially 100–200+ Reels within approximately 90 days. We want to find one main production partner who can handle our content consistently rather than continuously hiring different freelancers. For the right person or team, this can become ongoing high-volume work. Trial Before committing to a large batch, we need to see that you truly understand the required visual standard. The test concept will be approximately 30–45 seconds and should show one large luxury wedding venue through roughly 7–10 different cinematic shots, such as: "And not by way of limitation" wide ballroom → entrance → chandelier → flowers → tables → stage → aisle → lighting detail → final wide shot. All shots must clearly belong to the same event and same venue. After we send the reference Reels, we will expect a test/sample demonstrating that you can genuinely reproduce this level of realism and cinematography before we move into bulk production. If the platform requires the trial to be structured as a small paid order, we can arrange it that way. Who should apply Please contact us only if you can genuinely create photorealistic cinematic video from scratch at a luxury real-estate / hospitality advertising standard. When messaging us, please include: 1. Your strongest photorealistic cinematic AI video examples 2. The tools/workflow you normally use 3. Whether you can maintain one venue consistently across 7–10 different shots 4. Your bulk pricing for 10, 30, 50, and 100 videos 5. Your realistic production capacity per week 6. Confirmation that you can create everything from scratch without us supplying source footage We are ready to move quickly when we find the right creator. The most important requirement is simple: the viewer should experience the finished Reel as a beautifully filmed real luxury venue — not as an “AI video.”
