Approximately 18+ minutes of total footage

Cinematic quality required

Required Technical Expertise: You must demonstrate mastery of the following workflow (or equivalent):

High-quality still generation (Midjourney or similar)

Character texture enhancement (Enhancor or equivalent)

Video generation and animation (Veo 3, Runway, Kling, or similar platforms)

Motion/animation tools (Seedance or comparable)

Upscaling/enhancement (Topaz or equivalent)

Basic sound design integration

Critical Requirements:

Reference Sample: https://vimeo.com/1128052038/57daaa31c4?fl=ip&fe=ec

This represents our quality standard.

To Apply, You Must Include:

Portfolio samples demonstrating cinematic AI video generation at a comparable quality level

Examples showing character consistency across multiple shots

Your typical workflow and tools

Timeline estimate for 200 (ish) shots at approximately 4 seconds each

Your rate (per shot or project-based)

(assume 2 rounds of revisions)

Applications without relevant samples matching our quality bar will not be considered.

This is the first episode of a multi-episode series. Strong candidates may be considered for ongoing work.

Our current workflow is to generate high quality stills in midjourney, set style and omni references, create a high quality storyboard, add character textures in enhancor, animate and create basic sound design using veo 3 and seedance, and upses final footage in topaz before editing in premiere.

You will work directly with the show runner, director, cinematographer and creative director.

If this goes well, there are 5-7 additional episodes with similar scopes of work.
