Summary

Looking for a short-form video editor who can take raw talking-to-camera footage and a voiceover and turn it into a polished, high-retention educational video, with animated segments layered in to carry the explanations. The style: Clean pixel-art / 8-bit animation (retro video game look) combined with crisp, fast-paced educational editing. Here's a reference for exactly the style and quality I'm after, both the editing and the animation: https://www.instagram.com/reel/DYzsJehu7Fx/ Match this look and feel. The scope, you handle all of it: Editing the footage into a tight, well-paced short-form video (Reels / TikTok / Shorts) Creating the pixel-art animations and all the on-screen motion Sourcing royalty-free, educational-style background music Delivering a finished, ready-to-post video I'll provide the footage, the voiceover, and a clear beat-by-beat breakdown of where animation goes. You take it from there and bring the rest. Turnaround: This needs to move fast. Once a project is greenlit, I need the finished video back within 24 hours. Please only apply if you can reliably hit that. To apply: Send examples of similar work, short-form editing with animation in this style. I'm hiring based on your examples, so show me work that's close to the reference above. If you've done pixel-art or game-style animation, lead with it. This is ongoing work for the right person, not a one-off.
