Summary

**Project: Hachnasas Sefer Torah — Highlight Reel (2 Files)** I need an experienced video editor to create one polished 10–15 minute highlight reel from 2 raw video files of a major traditional Jewish celebration called a Hachnasas Sefer Torah — the completion and dedication of a handwritten Torah scroll. This is one of the most joyous and sacred events in a Jewish community, similar in significance to a wedding, attended by hundreds of people. **File 1 — Torah Writing Ceremony** The sofer (scribe) writes the final letters of the Torah. Community members take turns holding the quill — a deeply sacred honor. Edit this section to feel slow, reverent, and emotional. Focus on faces, reactions, and close-ups of the quill on the parchment. I will provide photos of specific people to look for and feature. **File 2 — The Dancing (Hakafos)** Loud, joyful, energetic dancing and singing with the Torah scroll. Hundreds of people. Edit this section to feel upbeat, alive, and celebratory. Feature large crowd moments, the Torah being carried, and people singing together. **Final Edit Structure:** Combine both files into one 10–15 min reel in this order: 1. Torah writing — slow, emotional, sacred 2. Dancing — energetic, joyful, celebratory 3. End on a high note **Additional Requirements:** - Color correction and lighting fixes (filmed at night) - I will provide a photo of myself — please feature me in several key highlight moments - Background music: instrumental or traditional Jewish/Hebrew music - Clean title card at the opening - Smooth, clean transitions — nothing flashy - Deliver as one MP4 file, quality suitable for WhatsApp and YouTube Please confirm you understood the project and share your expected timeline before starting. HEre is a samples of what I'm looking on how the video should look: https://youtu.be/cntFOmI5Wmg?si=80FQeDFkQO1dT_9f
