Posted 4 weeks ago

Worldwide

Summary

I AM HIRING IN THE NEXT 24 HOURS! I am based in Germany, and I am a history buff. I am launching a YouTube channel that shows cities evolving across thousands of years — from the Ice Age to today — using cinematic AI-generated visuals and a professional voiceover. I am looking for an AI Video Editor who can morph historical eras together like magic. What we are building This is not a typical YouTube Automation channel. We are creating a German-language history channel with a format that does not exist yet in the German-speaking market — cities and civilizations evolving across thousands of years, shown from a fixed camera angle, with photorealistic AI visuals that morph seamlessly from one era to the next. Think: Rome in 10,000 BC — then watch it transform, era by era, all the way to 2026. With a cinematic voiceover. In German. Our first video: Die Entwicklung Roms: 12.000 Jahre in 9 Minuten. Who I am looking for You know how to generate photorealistic historical scenes with AI tools and morph them together into a seamless timelapse. You work with tools like Midjourney, RunwayML, Kling AI, or similar. You have done this before — or something very close to it. For quality reference, please study these channels before applying: - Timelapse Studio — youtube.com/@TimelapseStudioChannel - Timewarp Cities — youtube.com/@timewarpcities - Restored Timeline — youtube.com/@RestoredTimeline Note: These channels have no voiceover — only music. Your visuals must work perfectly WITH a German narration track. What you will do - Generate photorealistic AI visuals for each historical era — fixed camera angle throughout - Create smooth morphing transitions between eras, synced to the voiceover - Integrate the German ElevenLabs voiceover we provide and mix background music underneath - Add year and era text overlays in German - Final color grading and cinematic look - Deliver final MP4 within 5 days What I offer - Long-term collaboration — this is not a one-off project - 2 videos per week once we get started - Paid test project before ongoing contract - Clear workflow — we provide script, audio, and era list. You create the visuals. How to apply Send me your portfolio. Show me work that is relevant to what we are building — historical, cinematic, or AI-generated video work. We will only work with people who are looking for a long-term collaboration. No long cover letters. Just show me what you can do. I am hiring in the next 24 hours — so do not wait. Screening Questions 1. Please provide 2–3 portfolio samples of historical, cinematic, or AI-generated video work. 2. Which AI tools do you use for image generation AND for morphing/video generation between scenes? 3. What is your usual turnaround time for a 10–12 minute video of this type? 4. How much would you charge per finished video? 5. Are you looking for a long-term collaboration? 6. How long have you been creating AI-generated videos?
