Summary

Short-Form Fan Edit / Hero Edit Video Editor We're looking for a creative editor who specializes in music-driven "fan edit" style content. We have a large library of original animated short-form content and need someone who can transform existing clips into entirely new videos by combining strong music choices, emotional storytelling, pacing, and creative editing. This is not traditional YouTube editing. Think character edits, fan cams, movie edits, anime edits, and TikTok-style hero edits that use music and carefully selected moments to create an emotional experience. What You'll Do - Review our library of animated content - Identify compelling moments, characters, emotions, and themes - Select music that enhances the story and emotional impact - Create short-form edits optimized for social platforms - Sync visuals to music, beats, transitions, and emotional moments - Turn existing animation clips into fresh content that feels completely new What We're Looking For - The ideal candidate understands: - Fan edit culture and trends - The ability to create edits that viewers want to rewatch and share - Music-driven storytelling - Emotional pacing and buildup - Beat syncing and rhythm-based editing We care much more about your ability to create emotion and engagement than what editing software you use. Deliverables - Finished vertical videos - Optimized for short-form social platforms Application Instructions Please include: - A brief introduction - Your favorite fan edit, character edit, or hero edit you've created - 3 examples of music-driven edits you've made - A short explanation of how you approach song selection and storytelling - Any experience creating content for TikTok, Reels, or Shorts We're looking for someone who can take existing footage and create something that feels emotionally powerful, cinematic, and highly shareable. This will be a part-time freelance role with the potential for ongoing work.
