About

We’re seeking a highly creative video editor / animator / AI artist to transform a single still image (attached) into a 20-second, seamlessly loopable 4K animation designed for YouTube. The artwork is inspired by a friend who is struggling with cancer. The goal is to bring this haunting, introspective artwork to life- a surreal fusion of realism and emotion, where subtle motion, smoke, light, and atmosphere convey the feeling of inner tension and release. Think of it as a moving piece of fine art — something hypnotic that breathes, decays, and reforms on loop. * Preserve the integrity and tone of the image (dark, ethereal, psychological) * Add cinematic motion: smoke drift, subtle face movement, texture shifting, distortion, static pulses, etc. You have creative freedom, these are just ideas. * Loop should feel continuous and alive, not mechanical — something that could play indefinitely as a visual backdrop to music and possibly lyrics that we would add afterwards. * Designed specifically for YouTube — 4K resolution (3840x2160), 16:9 aspect ratio.
