Premiere Pro Editor for 2 Minute Kickstarter Video

We are a product design brand launching a Kickstarter campaign for a premium kitchen tool. We need a high quality editor to cut the main campaign video. The project: One campaign video, 2 minutes finished Storyboard, script, and scratch VO are already complete. You are cutting to a defined structure, not inventing one. Standard product feature shots, mixed into a captivating and energetic video is the goal for the video. Closing with a founder vision sequence. Footage, stills, and product renders provided. Final clips are not locked. Some sequences have two or three options and you are expected to review them and select the strongest take. Additionally we need a few animations to be overlaid on the footage, and a few professional AI transitions we aspire to create, assistance here would be incredible. Two reference videos will set the bar for what we are looking for: 1) https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/barecookware/the-bare-dutch-oven 2) https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/610086504/trooper-dog-ball/ 3) https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/sanctumbrand/the-hard-bar-a-titanium-pry-sheath Milestones: Rough cut against the storyboard and script, with your shot selections in place Revisions and refinement Final delivery with sound design, color, and graphics Required: - Advanced Adobe Premiere Pro. Project files are delivered in Premiere, no exceptions. - Strong shot selection judgment. - Clean sound design, music selection, and color grading work Strongly preferred - After Effects. There are motion graphics and product animations in this edit. - Experience with AI generated transitions. One or two are being designed for this cut, and that work is a priority for us. - Kickstarter or crowdfunding experience, especially in the gear space, such as camping, pocket knife, or kitchen tool space. - Product or commercial work in your reel To apply: Send a reel or two to three links to work you personally edited, and say what you did on each Confirm your Premiere Pro level and your After Effects level or AI editing experience Tell us your availability over the next 10 days To confirm that you have read this entire posting please start your message off with, "We should chat" and then one thing that makes you stand out from the rest. (sorry that I have to do this, but there are too many auto applications on Upwork). Applications without work links will not be reviewed. Generic proposals will be ignored. If this goes well there is a ton of ongoing editing work: short form social cuts of this project, plus additional footage, ad creative, and future launches. Thanks for your consideration, looking forward to hearing from you. Rob
