Summary

Looking for a skilled video editor to handle long-form, atmospheric documentary production (1 long-form video per month + 10 vertical short clips). ​We create deep, long-form (120-minute) documentary videos exploring theoretical physics, quantum paradoxes, and cosmic existential questions. The tone is hypnotic, dark-ambient, and cinematic—optimized for deep listening, study, and sleep. ​ What You Will Do: ​Assemble a 2-Hour Native Timeline: Combine provided raw AI voiceover tracks with visual assets using a structured 3-layer visual style: ​ -Layer 1 (Background): Ultra-slow-motion space/nebulae footage (provided). -​Layer 2 (Foreground Subject): Apply subtle 2.5D / 3D Parallax motion keyframing to provided Midjourney artwork (~120–150 images per video, switching every 30–60 seconds). ​ -Layer 3 (Overlay): Apply subtle, semi-transparent technical grid/coordinate HUD overlays. ​ Sound Design: Layer the voiceover with copyright-safe dark ambient drone tracks and subtle sub-bass swells at narrative transition points. ​Short-Form Content: Cut 10 engaging 1.5-minute vertical clips (with auto-captions) from the main video for TikTok/Reels. ​ What We Provide: -​100% completed voiceover audio files (produced with ElevenLabs). -​Folder of organized, high-resolution Midjourney v6 visual art assets and background video loops. ​-Detailed script outline with timestamps and chapter breakdowns. ​ Project Details & Budget: ​-Budget: $350 Fixed-Price per 2-hour project (includes main video + 10 vertical clips cut from the main video). ​-Payment Terms: Funded via Upwork Escrow -​Turnaround Time: 15–20 days per project but earlier is preferable. ​ To Apply: ​Please submit 2 to 3 links showing past examples of your video editing work (specifically long-form, ambient, space, philosophy, or narrative documentaries) and reply with "COSMOS" so that I know you have read the whole brief.
