Job: Cinematic advert trailer + promo graphics for a Serious HL2RP server (Helix)

VIDEO JOB: a cinematic server trailer (plus a few matching graphics). Posted under Artwork as there's no video category.

We're City 24, a new Serious Half-Life 2 Roleplay server built on the Helix framework, and we're looking for a creator to make our server advert: a short cinematic trailer plus a small set of matching promo graphics.

ABOUT THE SERVER

City 24 is a story-driven HL2RP set in a Combine-occupied city (map: rp_city24_v4_auralis). The trailer should show off what makes us different:

1. Civil Protection with a full rank structure (Recruit to Sectorial Commander) and divisions (PATROL, HELIX, GRID, JURY, RAZOR)
2. Overwatch Transhuman Arm with its own ranks and divisions
3. Squad system: units are assigned in the datapad and see their squadmates on the Combine visor HUD
4. Custom Combine visor HUD, datapad, records, warrants and arrests
5. Citizen life: rations, jobs, crafting, scavenging, cooking and housing
6. An underground Resistance

IMPORTANT: WE'RE PRE-LAUNCH

The server is still being built, so there is no player base to film yet. Scenes will need to be staged without a crowd, for example:

1. Source Filmmaker scenes using our map and the HL2 / Combine models
2. Posed models, NPCs or bots on our server, with camera work in-game
3. Me (the owner) as one live character where useful, and I'll give you whatever access you need (a private session, admin tools, noclip, camera)

Experience making a server look alive with few or no players is a big plus, so please mention it.

WHAT WE NEED

1. Trailer video (main deliverable)
2. 60 to 120 seconds, 1080p minimum (1440p/4K welcome), 16:9
3. Cinematic, atmospheric HL2 tone: oppressive city, Combine presence, tension, ending on the server name and a call to action
4. Licensed or royalty-free music only, with proof of licence
5. Also a 15 to 30 second cut-down for short-form posts
6. Promo graphics (secondary)
7. Server banner/logo lockup for the advert listing
8. Thumbnail for the trailer
9. 2 to 3 key-art stills

WHAT TO SEND WHEN APPLYING

1. Portfolio links to previous GMod/Source trailers or SFM work (HL2RP or similar a big plus)
2. How you would stage the scenes without a player base
3. Your price for the trailer, and for the graphics separately
4. Estimated turnaround and how many revision rounds are included

TERMS

1. We own the final files (project files appreciated) and can use them anywhere to advertise the server
2. At least one draft review before the final render, with reasonable revisions
