AI Commercial Director / Filmmaker Needed – Premium Gen Z Lifestyle Brand Launch

Job Description We are launching AURA, a new Gen Z-focused hydration/lifestyle brand, and are looking for an experienced AI filmmaker + commercial editor to create our launch commercial. This is NOT a typical AI product video and NOT a direct-response ad. We are looking for a fast-paced, cinematic lifestyle film with premium AI-generated characters, accurate product integration, creative transitions, music-driven editing, and strong storytelling. Think Nike / Apple / Owala energy — lifestyle first, product second. We already have a very detailed creative brief, photorealistic product renders, CAD/3D assets, branding, and several AI clips our internal team created as references. You will not be starting from a vague concept. The most important skill we're looking for is creative execution and editing, not simply the ability to generate good-looking AI clips. The final film needs rhythm, movement, intentional transitions, consistent characters, realistic product integration, and the polish of a professionally directed commercial. Please do not send a generic AI-generated proposal. I want to know that you actually understand the creative direction. When applying, please answer: In 2–3 sentences, tell me what you think makes a fast-paced lifestyle commercial feel premium rather than like a collection of AI clips. How would you approach transitions between completely different environments (college → gym → office → car) so the film feels continuous? Send me 1–3 examples of your work that are closest to this specific style. Please don't send your entire portfolio. What AI video tools/workflow would you use for maintaining product and character consistency? Are you willing to create a paid 10–15 second style test before being awarded the full commercial? The detailed creative brief will be provided. Important: If your primary strength is generating beautiful individual AI shots but not commercial editing, pacing, sound design, and storytelling, this is probably not the right project.
