I’m ready to transform two unforgettable years at folk high school into a single, sweeping film set to “A Thousand Years by JohnMichael howell & JVKE.” You’ll receive a folder of phone clips, DSLR footage, and still photos gathered from several devices; your task is to weave them into a sentimental, cinematic narrative that grabs the viewer’s heart from the first note. Note: As I am writing I will be gone for a school trip from 24th of April to 30th of April, but I will be collecting photos & videos from that trip that I want into this video also. Here’s the mood I’m after: a soft-toned, romantic look underscored by gentle color grading, slow-motion passages, and seamless transitions. Throughout the video I’d love tasteful lyric typography that appears in time with key lines of the song, further amplifying the emotion. Focus points • People, places, and events all deserve equal spotlight, but the magic lives in candid moments—laughter in the common room, spontaneous outdoor adventures, inside jokes caught on camera. • Avoid anything that feels overly staged; authenticity is everything. Technical expectations – Full-length edit that matches the original track (≈ 4 min 45 sec). – 16:9 master in 4K or crisp 1080p, plus a square or vertical social cut if feasible. – Clean audio mix so the song shines, with natural ambience where it adds feeling. – Subtle titles for dates or locations only when they enrich the story. – One revision round to fine-tune pacing, color, or text. Preferred tools include Premiere Pro, After Effects, or DaVinci Resolve—anything that lets you grade, stabilize, and animate text fluidly. If you’re passionate about storytelling and can make viewers feel like they were part of those two years, I can’t wait to see your approach. Also I want this done by 6th of may this year, since I want to show to people for the school's end. The video below is one video with the song I want to use that captured me instantly and a introduction for this project. This link goes the photos & videos that may be used for the project: [login to view URL] Also the video may be shared to different social media platforms like Instagram, Snapchat, TikTok & Facebook from me and other people/business. I will make sure people credit you if you make it.

Hi there I have read the details and understand that you need a sentimental, cinematic 4.5-minute film that captures two years of folk high school memories, culminating in your upcoming trip. My priority is to weave your mix of phone clips and DSLR footage into a soft-toned narrative that feels authentic and romantic, perfectly synchronized to the rhythm and lyrics of "A Thousand Years." I will approach this by using Premiere Pro to stabilize your handheld footage and apply a gentle, warm color grade that enhances the "home movie" feel. I plan to use keyframe-animated typography for the lyrics and implement slow-motion passages during candid, emotional moments like laughter in the common room or outdoor adventures. My strategy involves prioritizing authenticity over staged shots, ensuring the natural ambience of your clips subtly layers with the music to create a "sweeping" cinematic experience. PORTFOLIO: https://www.freelancer.com/u/AneesaIBA?w=f&ngsw-bypass= How much total footage do you estimate you have in terms of gigabytes or hours, and would you like the lyric typography to be centered or placed subtly in the corners of the frame? Cheers, Rabia Shaikh
