Posted yesterday

Summary

Project overview I have a complete voice-over, roughly 10 minutes long, already recorded and ready to use, telling a true, personal story — my 18-month transformation leading up to a full Ironman. It covers childhood, sport, the loss of my father, a difficult period, recovery, and athletic training. The voice-over is in French, already recorded. Important: the editor must be a French speaker, in order to properly understand the pacing, the silences, and the intent behind each sentence — this is essential for correctly syncing the visuals to the narration. What I need A video editor to build the complete video around this voice-over, using real photos and videos from my life (childhood, sport, the period in question, training, racing). I'll provide all the source material, organized by period/scene. What this involves Precise syncing of photos and videos to the narration, scene by scene Pan/zoom effect (camera movement on still images) to keep the video visually engaging Light transitions/effects where relevant — nothing flashy, this is a personal and emotional story, not an action video. Subtle, well-placed transitions matter more than heavy effects Music and light sound design (I can provide royalty-free tracks, or suggest yours if you have good sources) Basic color grading/correction on older or lower-quality photos and videos, for visual consistency Careful pacing around the most emotionally significant moments — some parts of the voice-over include deliberate silences that need to be respected in the edit, not cut short or rushed What I'll provide The complete voice-over All photos and videos, organized by period A guide on which photos/videos go with which scene, if needed Example reference videos What I want to see in your application Examples of similar work: personal documentary editing, storytelling, "life story" style (not just dynamic montages or highlight reels) Your estimated delivery time for a project of this scope Your experience pacing emotional/narrative content, not just fast-paced/dynamic editing Your revision policy
