Experienced AI Video Creator Required – Long-Term Project

I am seeking a highly skilled AI video creator to collaborate on a long-term project involving the production of realistic, cinematic AI-generated videos. The project itself is confidential, so only limited information can be disclosed at this stage. I am looking for someone with strong experience in AI video generation, realistic animation, prompt engineering, scene composition, and cinematic storytelling. This is intended to become an ongoing collaboration with the right person. Selection Process Due to the confidential nature of the project and the level of quality required, I will not be selecting a freelancer based solely on their portfolio. Before awarding the project, I require interested applicants to complete a short sample task so that I can accurately assess their technical ability, realism, and attention to detail. The sample is requested solely for evaluation purposes. It will not be used, published, distributed, or exploited commercially, and all intellectual property remains with the creator unless a separate agreement is entered into following successful selection. Sample Task Please create a minimum 20-second AI-generated video based on the following scenario: A British Rail Class 37 diesel locomotive approaches the entrance to London St Pancras station at night, travelling at a realistic slow speed of approximately 10 mph. The locomotive should appear authentic, weathered, and historically accurate, with its headlights illuminating the track ahead. As the locomotive approaches, the driver sounds a single warning horn. Several railway workers wearing orange high-visibility clothing are standing in a safe position beside the railway, well clear of the running line. As they recognise the approaching locomotive, they all turn to face it and simultaneously raise their right hands in greeting to acknowledge the driver. They maintain the greeting while the locomotive slowly passes before lowering their hands once it has gone by. The scene should include realistic railway infrastructure, including signals, junctions, points, station approach lighting, trackwork, overhead line equipment where appropriate, and a detailed nighttime environment. Lighting, reflections, shadows, locomotive movement, human animation, sound design, and the overall atmosphere should be as realistic and cinematic as possible.» Please Include - The AI software and workflow used. - Approximately how long the sample took to create. - Confirmation that you can consistently produce work of this quality. - Examples or links to any similar AI-generated projects you have completed. The submitted sample will be the primary factor in determining the successful applicant. The freelancer selected will then be invited to discuss the confidential long-term project in greater detail, with the opportunity for ongoing work. Preferred Applicant My preference would be to work with someone based in the United Kingdom, as this may make communication and future collaboration more convenient. However, applications from anywhere in the world are warmly welcomed. The most important requirement is that you are fluent in English, as this is my only method of communication. Strong communication skills and the ability to understand detailed project requirements are essential. If you believe you have the skills, creativity, and experience to deliver high-quality AI-generated video content, I would be delighted to review your submission. I look forward to viewing your work and hopefully building a long-term working relationship with the successful applicant. Thank you for your time, and I wish every applicant the very best of luck.
