Video Editor Needed: Fast-Turnaround Sizzle Reel for TV Network Pitch

Project Overview Spray Drone Network (SDN) is a national platform connecting FAA-licensed spray drone applicators, growers, and ag industry partners across all 50 states. We already have a weekly series, Spray Drone Network, launching August 6, 2026 on AcresTV. A major agricultural broadcast network is interested in bringing us on. We need a sizzle reel to close that deal, and we need it fast. What We Need A 2-3 minute sizzle reel that shows the company what the show is and why their audience will watch it. This isn't a highlight reel of pretty drone shots — it needs to sell the story: real operators, real jobs, real stakes, told with pace and confidence. We have raw and produced footage from three multi-state filming trips covering applications like row crop spraying, coal mine restoration, and golf course management. You'll be cutting from existing footage, not shooting new material. Deliverables 1 sizzle reel, 2-3 minutes, broadcast-ready Brand Assets Provided Existing show footage (raw and produced) SDN brand book: color palette, typography, logo files Reference clips/examples of tone we're going for Timeline This is time-sensitive — we're aiming for a fast turnaround to keep momentum with the network. Please note your available start date and realistic delivery timeline in your application.
