Turn PPT Into Documentary Film
Budget: $30 – $250 USD
I have an existing PowerPoint deck that needs to be transformed into a polished, interview-based documentary. The slide content will serve as the backbone, but I want the finished piece to feel like a cohesive film rather than a slideshow. I’ll supply the PPT and any supporting notes; you will handle everything from visual storytelling to final export.
Key points
• Documentary purpose: the tone should be factual yet engaging, using the slide material as talking points rather than simply displaying them.
TOTAL NUMBER OF SLIDES 165, EACH SLIDE HAS 6 PART, EACH PART IN A DIFFERENT VOICE
• Interview-based style: please weave simulated or captured interviews into the narrative flow. If actual interview footage is needed, let’s discuss options for remote recording or sourcing appropriate B-roll that suggests conversation.
• Professional narration: you will hire and direct a professional voice actor. The voice-over must align seamlessly with the pacing of the visuals and underscore each section’s main idea.
Deliverables
– First cut with placeholder VO for structure confirmation
– Final film (1080p MP4) with mixed audio, color-graded visuals, branded lower thirds, and smooth transitions
– Separate high-quality WAV of the final narration
– Project files so future edits remain possible
Acceptance criteria
1. Narrative flow clearly reflects the interview style and documentary purpose.
2. Voice-over sounds professionally recorded, timed, and mixed.
3. All slide information is accurately represented onscreen—either shown, animated, or echoed in visuals—without feeling like a static presentation.
Adobe Premiere Pro, After Effects, or comparable NLEs are fine; use whichever keeps motion graphics crisp and sync clean. Please outline your proposed timeline and briefly note the VO talent selection process when you respond.
