I will create ai cinematic videos for tiktok reels and shorts


About this gig
Two-time Emmy winner with 23 years of CGI/VFX, now bringing broadcast-grade craft to AI cinematic short-form video for social media.
Most AI video gigs are AI-only -- the output looks AI-generated. My pipeline is hybrid: AI-generated shots passed through traditional VFX compositing the same way Emmy-winning broadcast work is finished. The result is content that doesn't read as "AI video" it reads as cinematic brand work that happens to use AI as one tool in the pipeline.
Past work: Meta's Reality Labs, The Virtual Wild, Universal Studios, Pixeldust Studios, Leidos, National Geographic, Discovery, Smithsonian, PBS. 100% Job Success Score across 37 freelance projects on a major productized platform, $90K+ delivered over 4 years.

FAQ
How is your AI video different from cheaper AI video gigs
Yes. Send brand guidelines, references, color palettes, and tone docs in your brief. I'll incorporate them into AI prompts and the post-production grade. Note: AI generation has stylistic limits — I'll match brand voice as closely as the technology allows, with grading bridging gaps.
Can you match a specific brand voice or visual identity?
My pipeline is hybrid — AI-generated shots passed through traditional VFX compositing, with broadcast-grade finishing on Standard and Premium. Most AI sellers deliver "AI video." Mine reads as cinematic brand work using AI as one tool — a distinction that matters for ad performance.
What if I don't like the first cut?
Each tier includes defined revision rounds (2 / 3 / 5). Most concerns get resolved in round 1 if your brief was clear. Significant pivots beyond original scope are handled as paid Custom Offer additions.
Do you deliver vertical AND horizontal versions?
Vertical-first on Basic and Standard tiers (matched to TikTok, Reels, Shorts). Premium includes vertical, horizontal, and square (1:1) exports. Other platforms supported on request.
Do you provide source / project files?
Source files are not included by default. Available as a paid extra for buyers who need editable project files in industry-standard formats for in-house team handoff.
How does payment work for Premium tier projects?
Premium uses Custom Offers with milestone-based payment release: concept approval (30%), first cut (40%), final delivery (30%). Typical schedule discussed in the kickoff call. You receive value at each approval stage rather than waiting for full delivery.
Can I use this for paid ads, commercial campaigns, or website hero video?
Yes. Standard commercial use included. Extended license (broadcast rights) available as paid extra ($400). Music sync licensing for third-party tracks is buyer's responsibility. AI tool terms apply to AI-generated content. For unusual scale, let's discuss before ordering.
