90 to 180 sec Speaker Demo Video (Sizzle reel not instagram/tiktok reel) for Keynote Speaker
Worldwide
Overview I'm a professional keynote speaker on leadership, decision-making and performing under pressure. I need a 90 to 180 second demo video (sizzle reel) that positions me as a credible expert who is also genuinely engaging on stage. This is a sales asset, so I care more about getting the structure and pacing right than about getting it cheap. If you've cut speaker reels before, that's a big plus. What I'll provide - Everything can be found here (if there is anything missing, please let me know and I’ll upload it): https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1GdbqDhPJVnyDjIIGOZpkthkogMiTZVO1?usp=sharing - You'll have a lot of source material to work with: - Four professionally recorded keynotes (around 4GB each, shared via Google Drive). - My previous demo videos, so you can see what's been done before and what to improve on. If there's a clip in one of these that you want to reuse, I can point you to the exact timestamp in the original footage so you don't have to hunt for it. - Some highlight videos, excepts, and TEDx Talks (for inspiration, like the previous demo videos) Client logos, with a note on which are most important, for use as on-screen overlays. - Video testimonials: I have 80+ video testimonials (in a YouTube playlist, original files provided for anything you want to use). I want these turned into written, text-on-screen client quotes rather than talking heads. I'll flag which ones are priority but you'll get them all, so you can also use them creatively if you like (for example, a montage of testimonial clips playing in the background while one or two written quotes are shown on top). Observation: All the videos that are linked, I’ll provide the original file for better quality, if you choose to use them. What I'm looking for in the reel - Leads with authority and engaged audiences. I use interactive demonstrations and stunts on stage (fire, swords, audience participation), but these should be used as B-roll texture, not as the main content. They support the message, they aren't circus act that is done out of context. - Strong, music-driven pacing that holds attention from the first few seconds. - Clean on-screen text and logo overlays for client logos and key brand phrases. - One thing I care about a lot: persuasion beats polish. A lower-quality clip that lands a real laugh, a gasp, or a powerful moment is worth more to me than a flawless 4K shot that's emotionally flat. If a clip works, I want it in, even if it isn't pristine. I'm looking for an editor who selects for impact first and production value second. - A throughline built around my "Under Pressure" brand. For inspiration on tone and language, see my website: www.heliovogas.com To apply Please include: - Links to one or two speaker reels or similar fast-paced edits you've made. This matters more than anything else in your proposal. - Your fixed price for the full reel. Please note this is an iterative project and will involve several rounds of revisions, so price accordingly. - Your estimated turnaround. - A one or two sentence note on how you'd approach opening a speaker reel, so I know you've thought about structure, not just editing. Budget: I haven't set a fixed price, because I'd rather see what you think the work is worth. Please quote your own number based on your experience and the scope above. I care more about finding the right person than about the lowest bid, so price it fairly for what you'd deliver.
