Video Editor Needed for Premium UGC Creator “About Me” / Portfolio Video

Budget: $200 fixed price Video Length: Approximately 2 minutes Format: Vertical short-form video I’m a Los Angeles-based UGC creator looking for a talented short-form video editor to take an existing “About Me” video and elevate it into a polished, premium piece that I can use on my portfolio and pin to my social profiles. This is an important video for my creator business, so I’m looking for someone with a strong creative eye — not just someone who can assemble clips and add captions. I already have: All talking-head footage Lifestyle and hobby B-roll Finished UGC examples to incorporate Voiceover A current edited version that can be used as a reference A clear general structure/story One additional short section I’ll be filming to incorporate into the final version I’m also happy to share a few reference videos/examples that capture the style, pacing, captions, music, and overall feel I’m going for. What I’m Looking For The finished video should feel: Clean and polished Premium and modern Warm and personal Emotionally engaging Professional enough to represent me to brands and agencies Dynamic without feeling overly edited or template-based I’m especially looking for someone who is strong at: Music selection and emotional pacing Creating a natural build throughout a story Modern, tasteful captions/typography Strong visual pacing Knowing when to use B-roll vs. let a talking-head moment breathe Weaving examples of my UGC work naturally into the story Clean transitions and subtle motion graphics Color/audio consistency Making a personal-brand video feel elevated without losing authenticity I’d rather the video feel simple and expensive than overloaded with effects. Important I will provide my current edit for context, but I’m not looking for someone to simply recreate that edit with different captions. I’d love you to bring your own creative eye to the project and suggest ways to improve the pacing, music, visual storytelling, captions, and overall emotional arc. This will likely be one of the first pieces brands and agencies see when they visit my portfolio, so I want it to feel memorable and intentional. To Apply Please send me 2–3 examples of your work that are closest to this style, ideally personal-brand videos, creator videos, cinematic short-form storytelling, UGC portfolio pieces, or elevated social content. Please also briefly tell me: What would you focus on to make an approximately 2-minute About Me video feel engaging and premium from beginning to end? Please do not send a large generic portfolio. I’d specifically like to see the work you think is most relevant to this project.
