Summary

Project Overview
We're looking for a creative video producer experienced with AI-powered video creation tools to produce a ~2:32-2:35-minute explainer video about European air passenger rights based on a German voiceover that we will be providing. This is a test project with strong potential for ongoing collaboration – we have 2 additional videos ready to produce immediately, and a pipeline of 15-20+ similar videos planned for the coming months.
Our goal is to visualize complex legal content in an engaging, accessible format for travelers who've experienced flight delays or cancellations.

What We Provide
✅ Complete German voiceover (professionally recorded or AI-generated)
✅ Full transcript in German
✅ English translation of the script
✅ Brand guidelines (colors, style preferences)
✅ Reference materials from our website (ersatz-pilot.de)

What We Need From You
Video Production (AI-Assisted)
- 2:32-2:35 minute explainer video synced to German voiceover
- Use AI tools (Vyond, Animaker, Runway, D-ID, Pictory, or similar) for efficient production
- 1080p MP4, optimized for YouTube/web
- Professional transitions, text overlays, graphics
- (if deemed helpful to engage the audience) royalty-free background music

Style & Tone of the Video
- Clean, modern explainer style (e.g. flat design or 2D animation, whereas we leave the choice up to you as long as it illustrates the spoken content properly and looks professional)
- Professional but approachable for everyday travelers
- Visual storytelling that simplifies underlying legal concepts

Workflow
- provide storyboard/scene breakdown for approval
- one revision round included
- 5-7 day turnaround preferred
- scalable, repeatable process for future videos

Requirements
Must-Haves:
- experience with AI video creation tools
- ability to sync visuals precisely with voiceover
- understanding of explainer video best practices (pacing, visual hierarchy, engagement)
- access to music and graphics libraries

Nice-to-Haves:
- some German skills (or German-speaking collaborator)
- experience with legal/business explainer content
- familiarity with travel/passenger rights topics

Language Note
The voiceover we provide is in German. Having said this, non-German speakers are invited to apply for the job if they demonstrate a clear workflow for visual-audio alignment (using our English translation, timestamps, or a German speaking collaborator).

Timeline:
- Deadline: We are somewhat flexible on the schedule but we'd like to complete the project in the course of November.
- Opportunity for future work: 2 immediate follow-ups, then ongoing monthly projects

How to Apply
Please include the following information in your proposal:
1. Portfolio: 2-3 examples of explainer videos you've created (preferably with AI tools)
2. AI Tools: Which AI platforms/tools you use and how they speed up your workflow
3. Process: Brief description of your workflow from script to final video
4. Language approach: If you don't speak German, how will you ensure visual-audio alignment?
5. Pricing structure:
- Price for this test video
- Discounted rate for videos 2-3 (if we proceed immediately)
- Volume pricing for 10+ videos
6. Timeline: How quickly can you deliver the first video?
7. Revisions: What's included in your base price?

Sample Script Preview
Here's a 30-second excerpt from the video script to give you a sense of the content:
[GERMAN VOICEOVER]
"Dein Flug hatte eine große Verspätung oder ist sogar ausgefallen? Dann könnte dir eine Entschädigung von bis zu 600 Euro zustehen. Pro Person. Möglich macht es die europäische Fluggastrechte-Verordnung. Aber wann genau hast du Anspruch, wie viel steht dir zu, und wie kommst du an dein Geld? Das erklären wir in diesem Video."
[ENGLISH TRANSLATION]
"Did your flight have a major delay or even get canceled? Then you might be entitled to compensation of up to 600 euros. Per person. This is made possible by the European Air Passenger Rights Regulation. But when exactly are you entitled to compensation, how much can you claim, and how do you get your money? We'll explain all of this in this video."

Why Work With Us?
- Steady pipeline (voiceovers for 2 similar videos already prepared; 15-20 similar videos planned)
- Clear briefs with scripts, translations, guidelines
- Opportunity for numerous follow-up projects
- Fast feedback and decisions
- Generous compensation for efficient work
