Posted last week

Worldwide

Needs to hire 5 Freelancers
Summary

I have a YouTube video that needs a full creative overhaul. I'm looking for someone who can rewrite, re-edit, and make it actually entertaining. Think sarcastic narrator energy, tight pacing, and zero filler. What You'll Do: - Watch and fully analyze the original video (link provided after hiring) - Rewrite the narration script in a sarcastic, funny tone - think commentary-style YouTube, not corporate - Source the original footage used in the video - Cut any flat, unfunny, or dragging moments - be ruthless - Find and add new clips that actually land - Rank scenes from best to lowest energy so the edit flows strong to finish Deliverables 1. PDF/ google document - full rewritten narration script + all footage links (original + new clips) 2. Final video - exported MP4, ready to upload 3. Project files - Adobe Premiere Pro Budget: $40 for this video This is the first of a 60-video series. If the quality is there and we work well together, you'll be the go-to editor for all future videos and the rate goes up from the next one. This is a chance to lock in a long-term collaboration, not a one-off gig. Who I'm Looking For - Strong sense of comedy - you know what's funny and what's painfully not - Comfortable with Adobe Premiere Pro - Can source footage and cite links clearly - Fast turnaround, clean communication - Portfolio showing video editing or comedy content is a big plus To Apply Send a short note (2-3 sentences max) on why you'd nail the sarcastic/comedy style, plus 1-2 examples of relevant past work. Applications without examples won't be considered.
