5 minutes Film Production using Generative Models

Budget: $10 - $11

AI Filmmaker for End-to-End Narrative Production (5–10 Min Film)

• 100% Generative Video

Project Overview

We are seeking a talented AI Filmmaker to transform a completed text script into a cinematic, 5–10 minute narrative film. This project is 100% AI-generated—no live filming or traditional production is required. We need a visual storyteller who understands cinematic pacing, character development, and emotional resonance—not just clip generation.

Key Responsibilities

• Script-to-Film Workflow: Manage full end-to-end production: prompt engineering, scene generation, shot composition, and cinematic pacing for a 5–10 minute final runtime.
• Character Creation & Consistency (Critical):
• Create original main characters from written concept descriptions.
• Replicate and animate main characters from client-provided reference images with high fidelity.
• Maintain 100% visual consistency for all main characters across multiple scenes, environments, camera angles, and lighting conditions.
• Audio & Sound Design: Integrate AI-generated voiceovers (e.g., ElevenLabs) and cinematic soundscapes/SFX that match tone and pacing.
• Editing & Post-Production: Assemble AI-generated clips into a cohesive narrative with smooth transitions, color grading, and zero visible "AI artifacts," flickering, or morphing.

Required Tool Expertise & Subscription Ownership

Important: The client does not provide software subscriptions. Applicants must already hold active, unlimited/professional-tier subscriptions to all essential tools required for this workflow.

You must be proficient in at least 2 of the following high-end generative video suites:

• Video Generation: Runway (Gen-3/Alpha), Luma Dream Machine, Kling AI, Google Veo, or Pika (Pro/Unlimited tier).
• Character Locking / Identity Control: LTX Studio, Higgsfield, or custom LoRA training / ControlNet workflows for face/character consistency.
• Editing & Finishing: Adobe Premiere Pro or DaVinci Resolve (for final assembly, audio sync, color, and delivery).

Note: Proficiency in Synthesia, HeyGen, or Colossyan is not relevant for this project. We require cinematic narrative generation, not avatar-based presentation.

Deliverables

1. Final Film: One cohesive, cinematic video file, 5–10 minutes in length, Horizontal (16:9) format.
2. Source Files: Organized project files, prompt logs, and asset manifests for future edits or iterations.
3. Asset Library: All generated clips, audio stems, and intermediate renders used in production.

How to Apply (Mandatory)

To ensure you have read this description thoroughly, please include the following in your proposal:

1. The Secret Code: Start the first sentence of your cover letter with the word "CINEMATIC". (Proposals without this will be automatically declined.)
2. Portfolio Links: Provide at least 2 examples of narrative-driven AI films (5+ minutes preferred). Short social clips or ads alone are insufficient.
3. Character Proof: Show examples of the same character (created from concept OR reference) appearing in at least 3 different scenes/lighting setups to prove consistency capability.
4. Tool Confirmation: Explicitly confirm that you currently hold unlimited/professional subscriptions to the AI video tools you intend to use for this project.
5. Workflow Summary: A brief description of your end-to-end process for maintaining character identity and visual cohesion across a 5–10 minute AI-generated film.

Contract Structure

This will be a Fixed-Price contract paid upon completion of the following milestones:

1. Character Design & Style Frame Approval (from concept + reference).
2. Storyboard & Animatic (Rough Cut) with temp audio.
3. First 3 Minutes of Final Render for quality review.
4. Final Polish, Delivery, and Source File Handoff.
