This is my first post on this list. If posting contract work is not appropriate, please ignore or delete this post and my apologies in advance.
its perfectly fine to post about offering work.
am looking for a contractor willing to audition for the job of rotoscoping these videos to a satisfactory quality. For the audition, I will provide a single 15-second video. I ask that part of the video be rotoscoped and returned so the quality can be evaluated before contracting the job.
IMNHO this is pretty unacceptable. asking people to do work for free as an "audition" ? hmmm... get 15 or 20 responses, send each person a different clip. ...asking people to work for spec is wrong. good roto can take time depending on the material and asking for that time for free is wrong in the guise of an "audition".
there are plenty of qualified people on this list who can do a great job. you are dealing with some of the best in the biz. if you want to see samples of previous work ? sure. to do the work ? no.

Also, there's really no clever/easy way to get the look of the Schwab
spots. Mocha helps a ton with the roto, but to get that look will take a
huge amount of brute-force work. You could try doing less roto, but it's still going to be days and days, unless you are ok with the talent looking like Picasso paintings. Trying to get this look via post-processing (aka AE filters) tends to produce results along the lines of lumping people's eyes and the shadows underneath them into giant, dark blobs. Play around with cartoon look plugins and you'll see what I mean.
The big variable is what "satisfactory quality" means to you.
