Cinematic TikTok Psychological Shorts
Budget: $25 – $50 AUD
I’m developing a series of 30-second to two-minute vertical scenes for TikTok that carry the weight of a festival short: dramatic, thriller-leaning vignettes built around one recurring female lead and the inner storms she faces—overthinking, distrust, disappointment, and the drive to be understood.
What I need now is a videographer / cinematographer who feels just as compelled by story as by gear; someone eager to craft immersive moments rather than churn out typical social clips. Think tight, cinematic framing and beautiful, sculpted lighting that together push an intense emotional tone. Rich colour work, atmospheric sound design, and edits that stretch tension are all part of the plan.
I’ll supply concepts, scripts, and creative direction; you’ll guide visual treatment, shoot, and handle a first-pass edit. We’ll iterate together until each scene lands with genuine impact. If the collaboration clicks, this pilot batch can expand into a larger narrative arc and longer runtimes.
Core deliverables
• Fully shot and colour-graded vertical master (4K or highest native resolution)
• Project files and raw footage for archival
• Social-ready exports (TikTok-optimised)
If you’re passionate about storytelling, comfortable shaping dramatic/thriller moods, and excited to build something original from the ground up, let’s talk logistics and lock in our first shoot date.
