17-Minute AI History Documentary

I’m producing a 17-minute, documentary-style lesson that walks viewers through an entire historical period. The script is already outlined around key turning-points, but the piece needs to come alive through striking AI reconstructions, fluid archival-style inserts, and animated maps and timelines that keep the narrative moving.

Here’s the storytelling flow I have in mind: we open with a wide thematic hook, glide through each chapter with crisp pacing, and end on a clear takeaway that ties the whole era back to today. Throughout, AI-generated visuals should do the heavy lifting—think character re-creations, atmosphere shots, or architecture brought back to life—while stock footage, texture overlays, and subtle sound design round out the scene. Animated maps and timelines will orient the audience at every shift in date or location, and concise on-screen text must reinforce names, dates, or statistics without crowding the frame. Captions should be accurate and perfectly timed.

To keep the project organized, I’ll supply:

• The voice-over script and reference timings
• A rough beat-sheet indicating where maps, timelines, or reconstructions should land
• Brand-safe fonts and colour codes for any text elements

What I need from you:

• A polished 17:00 (±10 sec) master in 1080p or higher, plus the editable project file (Premiere, Resolve, or After Effects)
• All AI assets generated to match the provided mood board
• Full English captions baked in and as an .srt
• Layered audio mix with balanced narration, SFX, and music stems

If you’re comfortable blending Runway/Midjourney-style AI artwork with solid motion-graphics craft, and you can keep the storytelling simple, immersive, and accurate, let’s bring this era back to life.
