Summary

I'm looking for a skilled US-based video editor to handle post-production on a project for a government agency client. This is one project to start, with strong potential for an ongoing partnership — I subcontract my editing and specifically need someone domestic to handle sensitive clients. -The Project- Multiple deliverables built from existing footage and a storyboard I'll provide. You'll have more creative freedom than a typical edit gig — I want someone who can take my vision and improve on it, not just execute it line by line. Deliverables - Multiple long-form videos (1–3 minutes each) - Social cutdowns derived from the long-form pieces (15–45 seconds) What I Need You to Do - Edit footage into polished, engaging pieces - Add VFX and SFX where it elevates the story - Create motion graphics for the social cutdowns (required) - Bring creative ideas to the table — improve the storyboard, don't just follow it Required - Based in the US (non-negotiable for this client) - Proficient in Adobe Premiere Pro or DaVinci Resolve - Strong portfolio in narrative or branded video post-production - Solid motion graphics skills Optional - Color grading — I'm flexible here. You can grade the deliverables, or I'll request project files and handle it on my end.
