We will provide: * Professionally recorded voiceover * Complete script with timestamps * Video footage and photographs * Brand logo and other available materials * Music or references, where available * Basic visual and editing directions Your responsibilities: * Edit the footage around the voiceover and script * Select the most suitable clips from the supplied material * Maintain an engaging pace without using unnecessary fast cuts * Add clean transitions, titles and location labels * Add suitable royalty-free background music and natural sounds * Balance voiceover, music and ambient audio properly * Perform basic colour correction and visual adjustments * Create simple maps, text animations or graphics when required * Use photographs with subtle movement where video is unavailable * Add our logo and a clean end screen * Deliver a professional, cinematic travel documentary—not a generic slideshow Our preferred style: * Cinematic, polished and emotionally engaging * Natural visual storytelling * Good variation between energetic and slower moments * Clean graphics without excessive effects * Strong opening 30 seconds for viewer retention * Visual changes that support the narration * Human, tasteful editing rather than template-heavy work Budget: **$30 per completed 10-minute video** This includes one complete edited video and up to two reasonable revision rounds. We will provide the main footage, images, voiceover and supporting material. Any simple graphics needed for the story should be created by the editor. Final deliverables: * 10-minute video in 1920 × 1080 * YouTube-ready MP4 file * Clean audio mix * Project file and associated assets * One short sample clip for review before completing the full edit Please include: 1.

Whether you can create simple maps and motion graphics 6. The words **“Jodhpur Blue City”** at the beginning of your proposal Please do not apply if your work relies mainly on automated templates or unrelated stock footage.
