Creative Video Artist & Sound Designer - "Tactile Nostalgia" Ambience Channel

I am seeking a long-term creative partner to help build the "Suburban Noir" chapter of my brand that focuses on tactile nostalgia. This is a trial-to-hire position where we will start with one project and move to a permanent, consistent role for the right artist.

The Creative Vision
You will be taking hyper-realistic static images (AI-generated bases) and turning them into "Living Photographs". The goal is Tactile Nostalgia: high-fidelity textures, deep shadows, and a "Hush" atmosphere.

Key Responsibilities
Visual Animation: Use After Effects to add subtle, organic movement: a warm lamp flicker (80/20 lighting rule), realistic rain streaks on window panes, and subtle "parallax" depth.

Weather Elements: Integrate rain or snow that feels physically part of the scene, catching the light from the interior.

Sound Design: Mix a 10-minute spatial audio file. You must layer a constant base of muffled rain and a low-frequency mechanical "heartbeat" with intermittent sounds like a mail slot clatter or an attic fan.

Atmosphere: Strictly maintain 80% shadow in the frame; we want a moody, private, and slightly mysterious feel.

Requirements
Expert in Adobe After Effects.

Sound Design Skills: Experience with EQ, panning, and spatial filters.

SAMPLES REQUIRED: You must provide samples of your work that feature weather elements (rain/snow) or ambient loops.

Attention to Detail: Ability to place specific audio triggers at exact timestamps.

How to Apply
Please provide links to your portfolio and specifically point out any work involving realistic rain or cinematic loops.
