Video Editor Needed – Instagram Reel/Story (15–18 Seconds)

I'm looking for a talented video editor to create a short, powerful Instagram Reel/Story using a mixture of my photos and videos from the last year. Concept The reel celebrates joy, freedom, healing and rediscovering life after leaving an abusive relationship. This isn't a sad "before and after" video or a revenge piece. It's about the life I've built since – the laughter, adventures, family moments, nights out, holidays and everyday happiness. I want people to watch it and think: "Wow, she's really lived." Editing Style Vertical format (9:16), suitable for Instagram Reels and Stories 15–18 seconds long Fast-paced and emotionally impactful Polished, cinematic feel A mixture of photos and videos Cohesive colour grading Main Effect For the majority of the reel, I'd like a 6-panel split-screen mosaic (2 rows × 3 columns) with six different photos/videos playing simultaneously. The clips should: Change quickly (approximately every 0.4–0.8 seconds) Feel energetic, joyful and uplifting Include subtle movement on still photos (zooming/cropping) to keep them dynamic Content The footage will include a mixture of: Holidays and trips away Family moments Time with friends Nights out Celebrations Gym/self-care moments Everyday snippets of happiness Little wins and memories that made the year special Creative Freedom I don't mind if the same video is used more than once if it enhances the edit. For example: Using different sections of the same clip Cropping or zooming differently Placing it in different positions within the grid The goal is to capture the feeling of an incredible year, rather than documenting every single moment perfectly. Text No text overlays are required. I would like the photos and videos to tell the story without any wording on screen. Music No music selection is required as part of this project. I haven't decided what audio I'd like to use yet and may add this myself later within Instagram. Please edit the reel so it flows naturally and can work with a variety of upbeat tracks. Deliverables Please provide: Final video in 1080 × 1920 format Export without music/audio One round of revisions included Estimated turnaround time To Apply Please send: Examples of similar Instagram Reel edits you've created Any experience with split-screen or mosaic editing Your quote for the project Your estimated turnaround time I'm looking for someone who can take a collection of memories and turn them into something that feels joyful, authentic and full of life. The focus isn't on what I left behind—it's on everything I've experienced since. ✨
