Video Editor Wanted (Story-Driven, Cinematic Long-Form & Short-Form Content)
I’m looking for a video editor for a long-term collaboration who understands storytelling, audience psychology, and content strategy — not just editing software.
What matters most
- Minimalist, cinematic editing: Natural, documentary-style, camera-shot footage. No excessive effects or unnecessary editing.
- Storytelling & clipping: Recognize powerful moments in spontaneous speech and turn them into compelling stories, standalone 3–5 minute videos, long-form content, and short-form clips.
- Audio & sound design: Excellent audio skills. Know when to build tension, lower intensity, use silence, and let a moment breathe.
- Audience psychology: Understand how to capture attention, maintain interest, and create an emotional connection with a specific audience.
- Content understanding: Understand content creation, storytelling principles, and how the content market evolves.
I’ll provide detailed information about my brand, its philosophy, and target audience. You must be able to understand these elements and apply them to your editing decisions.
The process
We’ll start with a test project. If your work meets my expectations, we’ll discuss a paid project and potentially a long-term collaboration.
To apply, please send:
- Your portfolio, especially cinematic, documentary, or talking-head content.
- Examples of both long-form and short-form editing.
- A brief explanation of your approach to storytelling and identifying strong moments in raw footage.
I’m not looking for someone who simply cuts footage. I’m looking for someone who understands the story, recognizes the moments that matter, and knows how to make them resonate with the right audience.
