Video Producer for 3 Emotional Product Videos (Kids & Family Tech)

ABOUT THE PRODUCT We're a US startup launching a connected companion figurine that helps children (ages 3+) stay close to a loved one, like a traveling parent or grandparent. The adult uses a free phone app to send voice messages and a "heartbeat" touch, and the child receives them on the figurine. Product details will be shared after an NDA. THE PROJECT: THREE VIDEOS, PLANNED AND SHOT TOGETHER 1. Product introduction (~60 sec): A warm, clear introduction for people who have never heard of the product. It shows how it works, the key features, and children happily using it, with glimpses of the families it serves: traveling and shift-working parents, co-parenting families, and grandparents. This video lives on our website. 2. Away-parent ad (~30 sec): Purely emotional, not feature-focused. A parent who is away (work travel, a long shift, deployment) stays close to their child, and the child feels it. The goal is to make parents feel something and click through to our website. It runs on Instagram and Facebook. 3. Grandparent ad (~30 sec): Same approach. A grandparent and grandchild share a moment of connection across distance, with joy on both sides. We'd like all three planned as one production, sharing cast, locations, and footage where possible, to keep costs reasonable. SCOPE (please quote what you can cover) • Concept development and scripts/storyboards for all three videos (we approve before shooting) • Talent: 1–2 children (roughly ages 4–8) and adults.
