Paid Trial: Comedy Short-Form Editor for Twitch Variety Show — $125 for 1 Clip

I’m looking for a video editor with genuinely great comedic instincts to help turn Twitch streams into short-form content for TikTok, Instagram Reels, and YouTube Shorts. Quipshift is a gaming variety show built around rotating games, strange situations, reactions, narration, and audience interaction. I’m a former reality TV producer, so I’m looking for someone who can find the story and comedy inside raw footage—not just add captions and zooms. Channel: https://www.twitch.tv/quipshift The closest style reference is UNHhhh: exaggerated graphics, absurd visual gags, unexpected cutaways, sound design, callbacks, and edits that create additional jokes around the original moment. Style reference: https://youtu.be/gJN2bvt4TLA The goal is not to copy the show or make every second visually overwhelming. I want that same sense of play: knowing when to heighten a reaction, when to let a pause sit, when to interrupt reality with something ridiculous, and when the funniest choice is simply a perfectly timed cut. The edit should build on the original moment rather than bury it. I stream on a green screen, which gives the editor plenty of room to isolate me, move me around, replace backgrounds, turn body parts into visual jokes, create recurring bits, or generally make strange choices when the footage invites it. I’m looking for someone who sees the larger vision and wants to help shape what the channel becomes. I’m not promising overnight success or pretending this is already a massive operation, but I am building toward something distinctive and would love to find an editor who sees the potential and wants to grow alongside it. This should feel like a creative partnership, not an assembly line. I’m not precious about being “the talent,” and I don’t want an editor who feels trapped at the mercy of whatever I demand. I want someone who brings ideas, finds jokes I didn’t see, experiments with the footage, and has room to develop a real editorial voice with the channel. The initial project is a paid trial for one completed vertical clip at $125. I’ll provide the footage and selected moment while leaving plenty of room for creative choices. If the collaboration feels right, there is potential for ongoing paid work as the channel grows. Experience in comedy, sketch, reality television, unscripted content, gaming, motion graphics, or personality-driven creator content is especially relevant. Technical polish matters, but comedic timing, curiosity, and personality matter more.
