Posted 3 days ago

Worldwide

Summary

We are looking for an **experienced, high-level video editor** to create a powerful approximately **15-minute trailer / aftermovie from a live business workshop**. This is NOT a simple highlight reel or basic event edit. The goal is to create a highly emotional, dynamic and premium video that captures the energy of the workshop and makes viewers feel like they were actually in the room. The final video should combine: * Powerful moments and statements from the workshop * Emotional participant reactions * Audience interaction and energy * Behind-the-scenes moments * Cinematic B-roll * Music and professional sound design * Dynamic pacing and storytelling * Selected testimonials / participant statements * Text overlays or motion graphics where they enhance the story We have a large amount of professionally recorded footage from the workshop. Your job is not only to technically edit it, but to **identify the strongest moments and build a compelling story from them.** The finished video should feel premium, cinematic, emotional and energetic — something between a **high-end event aftermovie, documentary trailer and business event film.** ### VERY IMPORTANT We are specifically looking for someone who has **done this type of work before.** Please do NOT apply if your experience is mainly basic Reels, talking-head videos or simple YouTube editing. You should have proven experience creating at least one of the following: * Event aftermovies * Workshop / conference trailers * Sizzle reels * Documentary-style edits * High-end promotional trailers * Longer cinematic event recaps A strong understanding of **storytelling, music selection, pacing and sound design** is essential. ### To apply Please send me: 1. Your **2–3 best examples of similar projects** you have personally edited. Applications without relevant examples of previous trailer / event / aftermovie work will not be considered. If this project goes well, there is potential for **ongoing video editing work with our company.**
