You need video ads that actually make people stop scrolling, not content that gets skipped in the first second. I create short-form video ads for TikTok, Instagram Reels, and YouTube Shorts that convert. From polished product ads to raw, authentic UGC-style content to full brand storytelling campaigns, I cover the full range of what modern brands need to stay competitive online. And here’s what most AI video creators won’t tell you: most AI content looks like AI. Weird faces, broken physics, that uncanny feeling that makes buyers click away instantly. My work doesn’t have that problem. Every project I deliver is cinematic, believable, and built to earn trust, not trigger skepticism. That’s possible because of the toolkit I work with. I use Higgsfield, the most powerful AI video platform available right now, combining Seedance 2.0, Kling 3.0, Veo 3.0, and Sora in one place, plus the new Higgsfield MCP & CLI with Claude AI integration that takes realistic UGC ads to a completely different level. For visuals and photography I use Nano Banana Pro, and for voiceover and audio I use ElevenLabs, so every element of your ad, from motion to sound, is handled at the highest quality. What you get working with me: • AI video ads and AI video editing built for real conversion • UGC-style ads, product ads, lifestyle content, and brand campaigns • Hooks engineered to grab attention in the first 2 seconds • Content that doesn’t look AI-generated, because that’s what actually sells • Fast turnaround • A creative partner who treats your brand like it matters If you’re looking for an AI video creator and AI video editor who delivers work that performs, not just work that looks impressive in a preview, let’s talk📥

Cutting straight to the chase, after getting your manuscript, fiction or nonfiction: 1. I do the first read-through, which informs me to write you a manuscript assessment report (highlighting your book's strengths and weaknesses - I have lots of samples of this if you need one). 2. I then proceed to an in-draft developmental edit, with detailed margin comments, so that your revisions are scene-by-scene specific. 3. After you're done with revisions, I do a line and copy edit of your manuscript, followed by a final proofread. This whole process comes with intense communication between you and me, including clarifications and brainstorming ideas to make your book even better. **Please note: I also offer book coaching/structural coaching as the draft is being built. This preventive editing model can save you MASSIVE time-consuming rewrites later.** 𝗚𝗲𝗻𝗿𝗲𝘀 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗖𝗼𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗔𝗿𝗲𝗮𝘀 • Fiction and nonfiction books • Children’s books (picture books, early readers, middle grade, and young adult) • Devotionals and Christian theology manuscripts • Self-help books • Poetry and anthologies • Short story writing and collections 𝗖𝗹𝗶𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗙𝗲𝗲𝗱𝗯𝗮𝗰𝗸 ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ "Such a nice experience working with Celestine. She listens, did all the changes, and good at her work." ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ "Celestine was professional, quick, and offered excellent advice and feedback! You will not be disappointed!" ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐"Celestine was very responsive and quick. Went above and beyond!" ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐"Nice work Celestine!" (Outside the Upwork Platform) Final Note: If you need professional book editing, proofreading, or strategic storytelling and creative writing support, send me a job invite, a direct message, book a consultation session, or schedule an Upwork Zoom meeting. Ready when you are! I look forward to hearing about your book! Sincerely, Celestine.
