Video Editor (Long-Term Partnership)

I'm looking for a talented video editor for a paid trial project with the opportunity for ongoing work. The first project will be editing footage from a recent trip to Iceland. If we're a good fit, I'm looking to build a long-term relationship with someone who can help edit content across multiple platforms. Trial Project Using footage I provide, I'd like you to create: One cinematic travel film (approximately 2–4 minutes) One 60-second vertical reel One 15–30 second teaser Ongoing Work If the trial project is successful, future work may include: Instagram Reels TikTok videos YouTube Shorts Long-form YouTube videos Behind-the-scenes wedding content Educational videos Corporate marketing videos What I'm Looking For Strong storytelling ability Excellent pacing and timing Great music selection Clean, professional editing Natural color correction and consistent color Basic audio mixing and sound design Ability to take feedback and make revisions Reliable communication and turnaround times Style I'm looking for timeless, cinematic edits that prioritize story over flashy transitions or trendy effects. Clean, intentional editing is much more important than using the latest editing gimmicks. I'll likely hire multiple editors for this paid trial before selecting someone for ongoing work.
