Hire AI Video Generation Developers.

• Real experience with visual continuity, color grading, and sound design, not just generating a clip and calling it finished.
• A track record of versioning and reusing reference assets across a campaign or brand identity.
• Understanding of rights, consent, and provenance requirements for synthetic likeness and voice.
• Comfort deciding when a shot needs conventional capture instead of generation.

• "How would you lock a visual system so a campaign can be extended months later?" A vague answer usually means drift will show up eventually.
• "Walk me through your post-production process." Tests whether output will reach broadcast quality or stay at model-default.
• "How do you handle consent for a real person's likeness or voice?" Listen for a documented, legal-reviewed process, not an assumption.
• "What's the first thing you'd build?" Visual system and reference assets should come before generation tuning in a good answer.

• A demo reel showing only raw generated clips with no evidence of post-production.
• No mention of consent or provenance for any project involving real likeness or voice.
• No plan for versioning reference assets across a campaign's lifetime.
• Claims that generation replaces production entirely, with no acknowledgment of where conventional capture still wins.

• In-house — best when video production is a sustained, high-cadence need across many campaigns and the team can justify dedicated headcount.
• Agency — best for a first pipeline or a focused campaign, brings established production discipline and pipeline engineering together.
• Freelancer — workable for a narrow, well-defined asset type with existing brand visual guidance, riskier for multi-campaign work requiring consistent identity management.
