AI Content Creator/Storyteller

This is a fixed price pilot project. We are looking for a highly creative AI video creator, animator, or AI-assisted video production specialist to help us create a pilot animated ad for our protein bar brand, Linear Bar. Linear Bar is built to solve the compromise the protein bar category has never fully solved: clean ingredients without sacrificing the candy-bar experience. Our bars are organic, great tasting, and made without seed oils, sucralose, artificial sweeteners, or artificial ingredients. We want to create a recurring animated ad/explainer series called: The Protein Bar Trial The concept is a fun, sharp, founder-led animated series where questionable ingredients and industry shortcuts are “put on trial” using a fictious avatar you create. The first pilot episode will likely be: “The People vs. Sucralose” The goal is to create a high-quality 30-second animated ad that can also be cut down into shorter social media versions. What We Need We are looking for someone who can help with one or more of the following: AI-assisted animation/video generation Character design and consistency Storyboarding AI image and video prompting Runway, Kling, Midjourney, Firefly, Pika, Luma, or similar AI tools Video editing and finishing Captions, music, voiceover integration, and final export Social media ad formatting for Instagram, TikTok, YouTube Shorts, and website use The Style We Are Looking For The tone should be: premium but entertaining smart but easy to understand slightly funny and provocative founder-led clean and professional not cheap-looking or generic AI slop We are not looking for a random AI video montage. We want a repeatable visual style and character system that could grow into a series of ads. The recurring character should feel: trustworthy warm intelligent direct no-nonsense slightly witty confident The animation can be stylized/semi-realistic, but the characters likeness must remain consistent across scenes and future episodes.
