Summary

I need someone to watch 45 Instagram reels I've saved and fill out a pre-built analysis spreadsheet with data about each one. About the content: male lifestyle creators — aesthetic, entrepreneurial, adventurous vibe (think @bht2O_, @iamdanflynn, @peterlindgren, @erik.conover). Fast-cut cinematic reels with introspective captions. Deliverables ($75 flat): Filled spreadsheet — I'll provide the Google Sheet template with 30 columns (length, hook type, # of cuts, audio energy, caption type, face-on-camera Y/N, closer type, envy score, etc.). Columns have dropdowns — just pick from the list. 1-page pattern summary — after filling, answer 8 questions numerically: median length, top hook types, top audio energies, % with face on camera, top recurring creators, top content pillar, etc. First-frame grid image — screenshot the opening frame of the top 15 highest-envy reels, assemble into a 3×5 grid image (Canva / Figma / Google Slides). Estimated time: ~2-3 hours total for someone who works efficiently. Bonus (optional, no extra pay required — but I'll give a 5-star review + long-term work priority if included): Beat-by-beat teardown of top 3 reels "Moves library" — 10-15 specific techniques observed Requirements: Strong English comprehension (you'll need to write short observations) Basic visual taste — you know a good reel when you see one Comfort watching reels at 0.5× or 0.25× speed to count cuts Google Sheets basics To apply, please answer these 3 questions (I ignore generic proposals): Send me the URL of one Instagram or TikTok account you consider best-in-class at short-form editing, and tell me why in one sentence. In your own words, what's the difference between a "beat cut" and a "hook cut"? How would you count the number of cuts in a 12-second reel? Describe your process. Milestones: Milestone 1 — $35 — Spreadsheet 100% filled + delivered Milestone 2 — $40 — Pattern summary + first-frame grid delivered Timeline: 5 days from start. If quality is good, this becomes a monthly recurring gig — I'll have new batches of reels to analyze every 2-4 weeks as I refine my content direction.
