Interactive Video Branching Editor for AI Fictional Story world

We are producing episodic content for an award-winning, already-established AI story world. We are looking for a skilled freelancer to handle the technical editing and interactivity build of a pilot episode, with strong potential for this to become ongoing, recurring work on a weekly show. This is a technical execution role only. All creative development — script, story, characters, brand guidelines, and visual/video/audio assets — will be supplied to you. Your job is to bring the interactivity to life on top of what's provided. What This Role Is NOT To be crystal clear about scope, this role does not include: Scriptwriting or story/plot development IP or character development Asset creation (no filming, no AI image/video generation, no sound design) Brand or graphic design work You will be given a full asset package, an episode-by-episode creative brief, and a brand guide to follow. Your expertise is applied purely to editing and interactive functionality. What You Need to Be Proficient In 1. Interactive Video Branching Ability to build branching video experiences where the viewer can choose between two (or more) outcomes/paths within the video itself. 2. On-Video Interactive Overlays Embedding interactive elements directly on top of video content, including: Clickable questions/prompts Polling Voting mechanics Other interactive overlay elements as briefed per episode 3. Delivery Format The finished interactive video must be deliverable as either: A shareable URL, and/or Embeddable HTML code ...so that it can be dropped into external websites and platforms by our team. 4. Persistent Interactivity This is critical: the interactive elements (branching choices, polls, voting, etc.) must remain fully functional indefinitely once embedded — not just for a fixed campaign window. The interactivity needs to stay live for an unknown, ongoing period of time. Ongoing hosting/server management of the interactive layer will sit with us or a separate hosting partner — this is not something you need to manage long-term. However, whatever platform/software you use to build the interactivity needs to support long-term, always-on functionality on our end (not something that expires, requires a recurring subscription tied only to your account, or breaks when embedded elsewhere). We have no preference on which software/platform/tool you use to achieve this (e.g. tools like Stornaway, H5P, Hihaho, Wirewax, Kaltura, or similar are all fine) — what matters is the end result: it looks polished, functions smoothly, and the interactivity is durable and embeddable. Deliverables (Pilot Episode) One fully edited interactive video episode, built from supplied assets Interactive overlays (branching choice points, polls/voting, other elements as briefed) fully functional Delivered as a URL and/or embeddable HTML Final output matches our supplied brand guide Ongoing Opportunity This brief is for one pilot episode. If the work meets our standard, there is genuine potential for this to become a recurring weekly show, with the same freelancer retained for ongoing episodes. We are looking to build a long-term working relationship, not a one-off gig. What We'll Provide You All video, image, and audio assets A written brief for each episode detailing what should happen and where interactive choice points/overlays go A brand guide to follow for consistency Reference examples of the visual style/tone (on request) Ideal Candidate Proven portfolio of interactive/branching video work (please share examples/links) Comfortable working within someone else's creative brief and brand guidelines rather than creating original concepts Reliable communicator, able to turn around a pilot episode in a defined timeframe Available/interested in ongoing weekly work if the pilot is successful To Apply Please include: 2–3 examples of interactive/branching video work you've built (links preferred over screenshots, so we can test the interactivity ourselves) Which software/platform you typically use for branching and overlays Your estimated turnaround time for one pilot episode Your availability for potential ongoing weekly work
