FREELANCE PROJECT: 60-90 Sec Fully AI-Generated Cinematic Commercial for School Security Device

PROJECT OVERVIEW

We are producing a 60–90 second fully AI-generated cinematic commercial dramatizing a school intruder scenario to showcase the functionality of our security device. This will be used as the anchor piece of a sales presentation to school administrators, school boards, and institutional buyers.

This must be 100% AI-generated — visuals, characters, environments, sound design, and score. However, the standard is non-negotiable: this needs to look and feel like a cinematic commercial produced by a real crew. Seamless. Intentional. Emotional. Buyers in the room should not be thinking about how it was made — they should be feeling what it means.

No patchwork. No obvious AI artifacts. No mismatched clips stitched together with a transition. A coherent, flowing, single-vision film.

TOOLS WE EXPECT YOU TO KNOW (OR EQUIVALENT)

We are not prescribing your exact workflow — we are hiring for the result. That said, the caliber of work we’re describing typically requires fluency in tools such as:

• Video generation: Sora, Runway Gen-3, Kling, Luma Dream Machine, Pika 2.0, or equivalent

• Image/keyframe generation: Midjourney, Flux, Stable Diffusion (for controlled scene building)

• Consistency & character: tools or workflows that maintain character and environment consistency across shots (this is non-negotiable — we cannot have the same “teacher” look like a different person in every cut)

• Audio & score: Suno, Udio, ElevenLabs, or equivalent for music and ambient sound

• Editing & compositing: Premiere, DaVinci Resolve, or After Effects for final assembly, color grade, and sound mix

• Upscaling & artifact removal: Topaz Video AI or equivalent to clean and upscale final output

If you have a proprietary pipeline that achieves the same result, we want to hear about it.

VISUAL & CINEMATIC REQUIREMENTS

This is where most AI video projects fail. We are not accepting failure.

Consistency across shots:

• The same characters must look like the same people across the full video

• The school environment must feel like one continuous real location — same hallways, same light sources, same architectural details

• No floating hands, morphing faces, extra fingers, or visual glitches in the final cut

Cinematic look:

• Shot to feel like a real camera was used — natural depth of field, realistic motion blur, proper film grain if any

• Lighting should look practical and environmental — not AI-default “glowing everything”

• Color grade should be intentional: warm and normal at open, cold and urgent during the threat, returning to warmth at resolution

Pacing & editing:

• Cuts should feel editorial — not random clip assembly

WHAT WE ARE NOT ACCEPTING

• AI clips that obviously don’t match each other in lighting, style, or character appearance

• Generic AI aesthetic — that flat, overlit, slightly-too-perfect look that screams “this is fake”

• Stock-style scenes with no narrative connection

• Graphic depictions of violence or anything sensationalizing school tragedy

• Narration-over-B-roll format — this is a story, not a slideshow

BUDGET & TIMELINE

• Budget: Open to proposals — please submit a line-item breakdown by phase (generation, editing, sound, delivery)

• Timeline: Final delivery within 14 days of contract signing

TO APPLY

Please submit:

1. Portfolio / reel — AI-generated narrative or commercial video ONLY. If it looks like patchwork, we will pass.

2. Your pipeline — brief explanation of which tools you use and how you solve character/environment consistency

3. Vision statement — 1–2 paragraphs on how you would approach this specific video

4. Budget estimate with line-item breakdown

5. Any questions about the device, the scenario, or the audience

We are serious about quality. Apply only if your reel proves you can deliver it.
