High-End AI Video Editor & Sound Designer – 6-Minute Sci-Fi Documentary

Project Type: Long-Term Partnership (1 Video Per Month) Budget for Pilot Episode: €500 (Fixed Price) Deliverables: Full Video Generation (AI), Rhythmic Editing, Sound Design, and Audio Mix Assets Provided: Professional 6-minute voice-over track & structural prompt sheet. ABOUT THE PROJECT I am launching a high-end, cinematic sci-fi YouTube channel called "VAST HORIZON". The channel focuses on speculative fiction, cosmic mystery, and deep space lore. Our style is heavily inspired by the slow, atmospheric, and highly immersive documentary style of channels like "Causality". IMPORTANT: I am NOT looking for static images, AI slideshows, or simple parallax/pan effects on still photos. I need true, high-quality AI Video Generation (using premium video models like Runway Gen-3, Luma Dream Machine, Sora, Kling, or similar advanced tools) to create fluid, cinematic, and highly realistic video clips. THE STYLE & REFERECE Please watch this exact video from Causality to understand the visual quality, camera fluidness, and precise narrative pacing required for this channel: 👉 https://youtu.be/zazlIvfwko8 Note: Our pilot episode shares a similar thematic backbone (Plan B, artificial incubators, colonial survival, and deep psychological isolation), so paying close attention to how they build suspense through minimal visual movement and hard sound cues is critical. SCOPE OF WORK 1. High-Frequency Rhythmic Editing (The 4-6s Constraint) To maintain high viewer retention while channeling a deep, heavy atmosphere, no individual shot can last longer than 4 to 6 seconds. For this 6-minute episode, you will need to generate and cut approximately 60 to 75 unique AI video clips. 2. Cinematic AI Video Generation & Asset Consistency You must maintain strict character, drone, and environmental consistency across all 70 shots using the Model Sheets provided below. The visuals must embody a gritty, utilitarian NASA-Punk aesthetic. No sleek sci-fi. Everything must look heavy, scratched, frosted, and industrially grounded. 3. Deep Sound Design & Audio Mixing Sound design is 50% of this job. You will be responsible for building a multi-layered audio environment around our provided voice-over: Layer 1 (The Cosmic Hum): A constant, low-frequency cosmic drone vibrating throughout the video. Layer 2 (The Atmosphere): A muted, high-altitude space wind howl (EQ’d to sound thin and freezing). Layer 3 (Foley & Mechanics): Heavy magnetic thuds, hydraulic hisses, and pressurized suit breathing timed perfectly to the rhythmic 4-6 second visual cuts. EPISODE 1: MODEL SHEETS & LORE The Setting ("Vanguard's Grave"): A desolate, freezing planet wrapped in a dark charcoal-grey and roest-brown color palette. The terrain consists of endless valleys covered in iron-rich crimson/grey dust (regolith) and razor-sharp, transparent water-ice spires. Leo (Structural Engineer): A bulky, heavy-duty engineering suit. Weathered, scratched, with structural forearm monitors and a visor reflecting harsh industrial blue safety lights. Maya (Astrobiologist): A slimmer but heavily insulated utility suit. Her helmet features modular sensor clip-ons, and her visor reflects the green bioluminescence of embryo incubator pods. Orion (Surveyor Drone): A massive, rugged quadruped or tank-tread chassis. Scratched industrial matte grey. Zero humanoid features—just raw hydraulic pistons and a single, unblinking glowing blue camera lens. Vega (Scientific Probe): A sharp, geometric aerodynamic body made of mat-black carbon fiber. It glides silently, casting violent neon-red laser grid lines onto the terrain beneath it. The Anomaly (The Climax): Located inside a deep crater trapped in permanent shadow. It emits a blinding, warm golden/amber light pulsing like a trage heartbeat, aggressively piercing through the cold tones of the planet. LONG-TERM OPPORTUNITY This is a fixed budget of €500 for the pilot aflevering. I am deliberately investing in premium quality. If this first collaboration is successful, this will turn into a long-term partnership where you will be hired for 1 video per month at this price point, establishing a stable, predictable workflow for future episodes. HOW TO APPLY To be considered for this project, you must provide the following in your application: Word Check: Start your proposal with the word "VANGUARD" so I know you read the entire brief. Portfolio: Links to your best AI-generated sci-fi or highly realistic cinematic video work (specifically looking for how well you handle human faces, machinery, and atmospheric environments). Tools: Specify which premium AI video tools (Runway Gen-3, Luma, Kling, etc.) you currently have active subscriptions for. I look forward to building this universe together!
