Vertical Film Expansion to Widescreen
Budget: £50 – £200 GBP
I have a one-minute film that was shot entirely in 9:16. For festival submission I need a flawless 16:9 master, but I refuse to lose any of the frame to cropping. Your task is to rebuild the side panels so the new wider image feels as if it was captured that way in-camera.
Indoors you will be working with detailed, complex backgrounds—bookshelves, art, layered set dressing—so cloned or AI-generated extensions have to respect perspective, depth, grain, and lighting. Outdoors the action unfolds in an urban environment; the added width must match its architecture, signage, and traffic flow so nothing looks mirrored or repeated.
I will supply the original mp4 file. Please return a 16:9 ProRes HQ (same frame rate and color space) along with a muted preview H.264 for quick review. No watermarks, no logos, no social posts—this cut is strictly for your eyes only and I expect absolute confidentiality.
If you rely on tools such as After Effects, Fusion, Nuke, Photoshop, or the latest generative fill workflows, that’s fine, as long as the final composite is seamless when viewed on a cinema screen. I’ll sign off once I see that every edge, reflection, and motion blur holds up at full resolution.
