Music Video Editor / AI Video Creator Needed – Live Performance + Cinematic Story Scenes
Budget: $750 – $1,500 AUD
I am looking for a creative music video editor / AI video artist to help produce a full music video for an original song.
I will provide the main live performance footage of me singing with the backing band. I need someone to take that live footage, create additional cinematic story clips, and then edit everything together into a finished music video.
This is not just an AI clip generation job. I need someone who can understand the song, build the visual style, create the supporting scenes, and mould the live performance and story clips together into one polished final production.
Video Concept
The final video will cut between:
Live performance footage
Me singing with the backing band.
Cinematic scene clips
Story-style scenes showing youth, music, partying, mischief, friendship, chaos, confidence, fun, and memory.
The visual setting and feeling is:
Wildwood, New Jersey — summer of 2001.
The scenes should feel like young lads living like kings for one wild summer — boardwalk nights, motels, music, cheap beer, cars, parties, beach streets, laughter, trouble, hangovers, sunrise, and the feeling that life would never end.
Style / Feel
The video needs to feel:
Real and raw
Wild but believable
Fun, musical, chaotic and mischievous
Gritty summer nostalgia
Early 2000s atmosphere
Slightly imperfect and rough around the edges
Natural and filmic
Not too colourful
Not glossy, fake, cartoonish, or obviously AI-generated
I want the added scenes to feel like lost footage from summer 2001 — alive, messy, emotional, and believable.
The emotional tone is:
“we were young, wild, stupid, fearless, broke, and we thought we were kings.”
What I Need From You
I need someone who can:
Review the live performance footage I provide
Understand the emotion and structure of the song
Plan where story scenes should be inserted
Create/generate the cinematic cutaway clips
Match the clips visually to the live footage
Edit the live performance and story scenes together
Create a complete final music video
Add colour grading and final polish
Deliver a finished video suitable for YouTube/social media
Scenes - will provide the exact detail that needs to be created
The scenes do not need to tell one strict storyline, but they must feel like they belong to the same summer memory.
Final Deliverable
A complete edited music video, using:
My supplied live performance footage
AI-generated or created cinematic story clips
Full editing and sequencing
Colour grade / visual matching
Final export in high quality 16:9 format
Please include examples of previous work, especially music videos, AI video clips, cinematic edits, or live performance videos.
In your reply, please explain:
What tools you use
How you would create the story clips
How you would blend them with the live footage
Your suggested workflow
Expected delivery time
Estimated cost
• Seamless integration and color matching with the supplied concert footage
• Rhythm-based cuts that stay tightly in sync with the mastered track
• Final delivery in 4K (ProRes 422 HQ) and a social-friendly 1080p version
Acceptance will be based on: smooth transitions between live and story shots, consistent grading, zero flicker or AI artifacts, and an emotional arc that lands on the last chorus. If you’re comfortable working with tools like Runway, Pika, Deforum, DaVinci Resolve, or Premiere, we’re speaking the same language. Let’s bring this summer memory to life.
