Summary

I am running for local political office I make lots of videos and most are just me talking to the camera. I’m looking for a highly skilled editor who can take 30-second to 3-minute videos and turn them into engaging social content. This is not a simple clipping job. Most of my videos are already scripted and recorded. What I need is someone who can make them visually compelling by adding supporting visuals, photos, statistics, headlines, animations, maps, screenshots, charts, B-roll, and motion graphics that reinforce the message and keep people engaged. Examples of the style I’m looking for: * Fast-paced visual storytelling * Graphics that appear as points are being made * Photos, articles, and statistics appearing on screen in real time Responsibilities: • Add B-roll and supporting visuals • Add relevant photos, articles, maps, charts, and statistics • Create motion graphics and text animations • Add captions and subtitles • Improve pacing and audience retention • Make complex topics easy to understand visually • Create multiple versions when appropriate Ideal Candidate: • Strong portfolio of short-form content • Experience with motion graphics and visual storytelling • Can independently find supporting visuals and graphics • Understands audience retention and social media pacing • Experience with educational, political, documentary, news, or explainer content is a major plus About the Content: The content focuses on cost of living, local economies, community power, housing, energy, healthcare, and public policy. The core idea behind the project is simple: When life is affordable, people have the freedom and stability to build something better for themselves, their families, and their communities. When applying, please send 3–5 examples of your best work that demonstrate motion graphics, visual storytelling, and strong audience retention.
