I'm looking for an experienced video editor who excels in delivering a story led, documentary esque project for two-three YouTube video that exceed 10 minutes in length. The specifics: I visited Africa in January and I’m looking to hire someone to compile my footage into two to three videos - or however many stories you think are there. One is about the trip as a whole focused on a project I went to research and promote, and the other is a video about craft (specifically around natural materials and resources). If you like woodworking and craft and music, you might find it particularly fun. I’m building a guitar made of wood I went to salvage from the African bush and then selling it to raise money for the local conservancy effort. This YouTube video collection is my promo to make people donate to possibly win the guitar. It documents my finding the wood and salvaging it whilst also hanging out with friends and learning about the local land. Sometimes we do some woodworking together etc and I want it all as part as the narrative. I’m looking for someone who can edit with the odd bit of humour in tone with my current channel, and who also keeps engagement high and story at the centre. Lots of personality left in, and as the footage is temperamental someone who can embrace imperfection and distract the viewer with editing skills. I’d work with you as close as you needed for the bits that require narration etc, and we’d have a meeting whenever you needed it / stay in close contact. More questions the better and I think I’m pretty easy to get on with and sound out. Basically I’m looking for someone who is: - Skilled in creating a compelling narrative for my raw footage - Excellent understanding and implementation of the editing style - Capable of working with longer video durations - Ability to incorporate any necessary elements to enhance the story, as the specifics have been left open-ended. You will have prior editing experience and a portfolio exhibiting work with a similar editing style and video length, although I can use my imagination if you think you’d be good at this but haven’t done a similar project. Flexibility and creativity are must-have skills in the absence of specific elements to be included. Budget - open to negotiation so I just ticked one of the recommended budgets below but, I’m happy to receive quotes and hear your intentions for the edit. I know it is a highly skilled job and I’m not looking to lowball anyone if you’re good.

Hiya, this sounds like a really cool project! I have edited long-form docs before and love getting in touch with a good narrative style, selecting great royalty free music (for YouTube) and telling a story in an interesting way. I would love to find out more about the exact stories you want to tell with your Africa craft adventure - what footage you have and what you took it on etc. - this just helps me in terms of bit depth and the like and if there is an angle you have Also would be good to know more about your audience and what you're trying to get out of it! Message me and I can send you some portfolio examples which I really think you might like! I have worked with crafts before so it is something I know how to tell a story with - it could be I ask you do do a voiceover and things like that so it would be good to know what you have!

I never expected to use the term "craft" as part of my biography, but trust me when I say that I am skilled in creating engaging narratives out of sometimes eclectic footage. With over a decade of experience providing multidimensional business solutions, I've developed a keen eye for identifying and crafting compelling stories - a vital skill for your unique project. I may not have designed guitars or edited YouTube documentaries about woodworking and conservancy in Africa before, but what excites me about this project is the challenge it presents; an opportunity to embrace my imaginative and creative core, which transcends sectors and aligns harmoniously with your open-ended instructions. Besides, my experience in financial management will help us create a budgetary plan that remains flexible yet realistic for your commendable documentary endeavor. As a consultant focused on innovative strategy and operational efficiency, I understand the importance of keeping clients involved in the process. Rest assured that despite the potential for imperfections owing to raw footage, I'll leverage my editing expertise to keep viewers engaged while effectively telling your story. Let's collaborate, ensuring elements you deem necessary are seamlessly woven into the finished product so we can achieve your vision of promoting local conservancy efforts through music, craft, and powerful storytelling.

@bart2287

Hi! It's truly amazing what you're doing, I would love to help out! I love travelling myself - have lived 2 years in Cambodia - so I think I know what you're looking for. When it comes to my video editing skills, I have experience with both shorter and longer types of content. I have created compelling promotional videos, but I also edited material for an in-depth yoga course - each video was approximately 90 minutes long. I haven't done a travel documentary yet, but I strongly think that I would excel at it; I am a writer and a storyteller besides, and not without sense of humour ;). And I do like music - I play guitar myself, although I wouldn't say I'm actually good at it ;). I usually work in DaVinci Resolve; besides the basic editing skills I'm also adept at advanced colour correction - to give your videos exactly the look & feel you desire. Whether you prefer lush, vivid colours or a washed-out, cinematic look, I've got you covered ;). If you think we might be a good match don't hesitate to contact me; I could send you then samples of my work and answer any questions you might have :)

Hey, I am Sakshi, a video editor with an experience of above 2 years. I must say that main reason I am bidding for this project was your work. I am really impressed and intrigued by it. I love people who do things for others and social cause and I would be really grateful if I get to contribute my skills in this work. As you have mentioned I have interest in woodwork, craft and music and also have an eye for making aesthetic and cinematic videos. I have not done any big projects like this before but I would love to work with you and turn your vision into a great documentary. I can already see myself editing the video and turn it into a beautiful story. I am sure I am the right fit for your project and together we can make some really great videos. If I get a chance of doing this project I will give my 110%. And last but not least I can provide you a short sample for your video if you like before starting free of cost. Looking forward for you reply. Thanks.
