Long-Form Video Editor + Motion Designer for Branded Educational Series (Pilot Episode)

What we're building We're launching a long-form educational video series on YouTube and our own channels. Think 10 to 20 minutes per episode, host-led, built around real questions our customers ask that nobody in our industry answers straight. Example: what an unfilled hygiene shift actually costs a dental practice, worked through with real numbers. The reference point is a smart, well-produced explainer video, not a podcast and not a corporate talking head. A host walks you through a problem. Numbers, calculations, diagrams and data visualizations carry the pacing. Real footage from dental offices grounds it. What we need from you We have the camera equipment and we handle the shoot. What we need is the person who takes the raw footage and turns it into something genuinely premium: Editing a 10 to 20 minute narrative video with strong pacing and story structure Motion graphics and a reusable graphic toolkit: full-screen numbers, animated calculations, simple diagrams, chapter cards, lower thirds, stat and quote overlays, branded transitions Data visualization that makes a financial calculation clear and satisfying to watch Sound design, audio cleanup, color Thumbnail concepts 4 to 6 short vertical cutdowns for social and paid from the same footage If you're in the Twin Cities, there's also an option to shoot with us on site at our office and at dental practices. Not required. What we provide Raw footage, audio, and B-roll Script and story outline Brand assets, fonts, and color A named point of contact and fast feedback You're a strong fit if you Have shipped long-form branded or educational video that people actually watched, not just highlight reels or wedding films Are strong in both edit and motion graphics, or bring a tight team that covers both Can point to work where data or numbers were the star and you made them clear Work in Adobe Premiere / After Effects or an equivalent, and can hand off project files Communicate proactively and hit dates The engagement This is a paid pilot for one flagship episode. We're establishing the visual language, motion toolkit, and production process here. If it goes well, we plan to produce at least two more this year plus ongoing customer story films, and we'd want the same partner.
