Summary

Looking for a world-class motion graphics and video editor to create high-retention, 8–10 minute viral explainer documentaries (style benchmarks: Johnny Harris, Vox Earworm/Borders, Magnates Media, Fern). ​This is a single long-form video project starting with a paid test sample of 1-2 minute ($20), leading to the video documentary ($155); with a potential possibility of longer term contract. ●Visual & Technical Standards: ​2.5D Parallax & CEO/Character Cutouts: Turning flat photos of executives, companies, and historical events into 3D multi-layered scenes using depth maps, puppet pins, and camera movements. ​Financial & Corporate Visual Metaphors: Motion graphics for stock market crashes, balance sheet collapses, money laundering flowcharts, redacted corporate contracts, and glowing document callouts. ​Cinematic Dark-Mode Aesthetic: High-contrast lighting, film grain, subtle light leaks, 3D dollar bill/asset drops, and textured newspaper/financial headline highlights (Bloomberg, WSJ, Forbes). ​Multi-Layered Sound Design: Heavy reliance on atmospheric suspense—sub-bass drops, ticking clocks for countdowns, cinematic risers, cash register/vault hits, and dramatic music beat drops. ​Dynamic Pacing: Relentless visual stimulation every 1.5–3 seconds using micro-zooms, screen shakes, whip pans, and glitch transitions to maintain retention across the entire 10 minutes. ●Workflow: ​I Provide: Access to my ElevenLabs account. You Handle: Complete visual asset sourcing (4K archival footage, stock, corporate logos, vector assets), motion graphics, photo cutouts/parallax, full sound design, and color grading. Best Regards Note: Do also state your possible video completion time for the project.
