Create Graduation Time-Lapse Video From 5,000 Daily Selfies

Job ID: 40428590

Budget: $25 – $50 USD

I am looking for an experienced video editor/motion designer to create a high-quality graduation video using around 5,000 selfie photos taken daily over several years.

The goal is to make a smooth and emotional time-lapse/morphing-style video showing the person growing up over time, leading into their high school graduation. This is a personal graduation gift, so I want it to look clean, professional, and meaningful.

The photos start around 2017 and continue through graduation. I need someone who can organize the images, line up the face properly, stabilize the photos, adjust sizing/cropping, color-correct if needed, and create a smooth transformation/time-lapse video.

What I need:
A smooth time-lapse video using approximately 5,000 selfie photos
Face alignment/stabilization so the transition looks clean
Cropping/resizing so the subject stays centered
Light color correction and cleanup
Music added in the background
Optional text at the beginning/end, such as name, years, and graduation message
Final video in high quality, preferably 1080p or 4K
A version that can be shared on social media and shown at a graduation party

Style I’m looking for:
Emotional, clean, cinematic, and professional. I do not want it to look like a basic slideshow. I want it to feel like a real transformation/time-lapse video.

Please include in your proposal:
Examples of similar time-lapse, morphing, or photo transformation videos you have made
Your estimated turnaround time
What software you use
Whether you can handle organizing and aligning thousands of images
Your price for the full project

Important:
This project involves a large number of photos, so I need someone who is patient, detail-oriented, and experienced with this type of editing. The final video should feel special and polished for a high school graduation.

Deadline: 10 days
