Cinematic 30–45s Brand Commercial for Australian Startup (MoveOnce)

Videographer is needed in Melbourne, Australia.

We are MoveOnce, an Australian startup focused on making address updates simple and secure for our users. We are looking for a Melbourne-based filmmaker — specifically a cinematic videographer/director — to create a 45–55 second narrative brand commercial. The commercial should not feel like a fast-cut social media ad but rather a modern, realistic and professionally produced short film. The story centers on the challenge and frustration people experience when moving and updating their address across different organisations, followed by the ease of using MoveOnce’s solution. The shoot will require one primary actor, one apartment location with access to a hallway and mailbox, and a one-day production in Melbourne. You will be responsible for end-to-end production including filming, editing, colour grading, audio capture for a single line of dialogue, licensed background music, and light sound design. The final video will be delivered in several formats suitable for Instagram, LinkedIn, and website use. We will provide a finalised script, creative direction, and access to our platform UI. We are ready to make a decision quickly and appreciate a creative partner who values clear storytelling and collaboration.

Budget range:
Up to $2200

Examples:
We are aiming for a cinematic, grounded, narrative style — not a fast-cut social media ad.

References in tone (not exact copies):

• Natural lighting and realism
• Subtle emotional build
• Understated performance
• Clean framing and controlled pacing

Think modern Australian lifestyle commercial relatable, calm, intelligent.

We are not looking for comedy, exaggerated acting, or high-energy promotional content.

If you have produced narrative-driven brand films with strong pacing and natural performances, we would love to see those examples.
