Posted 5 days ago

Summary

!!!!! Before contacting me, please share your portfolio showcasing cinematic work !!!! Overview: I am looking for a talented and creative video editor to transform raw footage from a recent European road trip into an engaging, high-quality, and cinematic travel video. I have over 10 hours of raw footage (stored on Google Drive) that needs to be carefully reviewed to select the absolute best, most captivating moments. The final deliverable should be a cohesive video of at least 15 minutes, which I plan to use both as a main film and later cut down into smaller Reels/Shorts. Key Requirements & Responsibilities: Footage Selection: Sift through 10+ hours of raw travel footage and select the most dynamic, beautiful, and storytelling shots. Color Grading (Crucial): All footage was shot in D-Log format. You must be skilled in color correction and grading to bring out a professional, rich, cinematic look. Audio & Music: The original audio from the video clips will not be used. The entire video will rely on background music. I will select select few tracks that match the mood, rhythm, and pacing of a scenic travel journey, after seeing draft, then you will need to adjust by it. Pacing & Engagement: The video needs to be dynamic, fun, and highly engaging—not just a slideshow of clips. Transition effects is not needed. Deliverables: Main Video: A finalized cinematic travel video of at least 15 minutes (High-Quality MP4/MOV). Project Files: The working/source project file (Premiere Pro / DaVinci Resolve) so that I can make minor color adjustments or edits myself in the future if needed. What I am looking for in a freelancer: Proven experience in video editing, specifically with travel/vlog or cinematic content. Strong portfolio demonstrating excellent color grading skills (experience working with LOG footage is a must). Great sense of rhythm, timing, and music selection. Clear communication and openness to feedback. If you are interested, please apply with samples of your previous work (especially travel edits or projects where you graded LOG footage). Please also specify which editing software you use. Looking forward to working with you!
