Cinematic Brand Ad Editor | Vertical (9:16) | Fast Turnaround

We're a video production agency looking for an editor who specializes in cinematic brand ads to cut a single 30-45 second vertical (9:16) spot for a client in the storefront signage space. This is a premium, atmospheric brand piece, not a standard social reel. The style leans on contrast: fast, raw action cuts up front, a hard slowdown into mood and atmosphere, beat-synced cutting through the middle, and a quiet, deliberate close. What we'll provide on hire: All footage (drone, storefront, and fabrication clips) A full edit brief with structure, timing, sound, and color direction Voiceover and music direction What we're looking for: Proven experience editing cinematic or brand ads (please share relevant samples) Strong sense of pacing and rhythm, comfortable cutting to a beat Sound design skills (SFX layering, music sync, deliberate use of silence) Color grading (cool shadows, warm practicals, selective saturation) Clean vertical export ready for Meta Deliverables: First draft for review (shared via Frame.io) One to two rounds of revisions Final approved export in 9:16 Timeline: First draft needed by Sunday, May 31. Monday, June 1 at the absolute latest. This is a quick turnaround, so please only apply if you have availability this weekend. Budget: $200 fixed price for the completed edit. To apply: Please include a short note on your cinematic ad experience and links to 2 or 3 relevant samples.
