Upwork Video Editor Brief – Northampton Nursery (AOK Studios) Project Overview We're looking for an editor to put together three videos from a 3-day project we filmed for Northampton Nursery. The project follows the transformation of a residential backyard as the crew excavates the space and installs a new flagstone patio. This edit should feel clean, polished, and professional while showcasing the craftsmanship and transformation of the project. Storytelling is important, but pacing should stay engaging throughout. Footage includes: Sony A7S III footage (S-Log) Drone footage 3 days of coverage Before, during, and after construction Deliverables 1. Website Video (30–60 seconds) This is the primary deliverable. The goal is to showcase Northampton Nursery's work in a way that builds trust with potential customers visiting their website. The edit should tell the story of the project from start to finish: Establishing drone shots Before shots of the yard Excavation Crew working Installing the flagstone Detail shots of craftsmanship Finished reveal Final hero drone shots Focus on smooth pacing, clean transitions, and making the project feel premium. 2. Before & After Hype Video (20–40 seconds) This video should focus almost entirely on the transformation. Think: Strong before shots Quick progression through construction Dramatic reveal of the finished patio Impactful pacing Music-driven edit The transformation should be the hero of this edit. 3. Social Reel (15 seconds) Creative freedom. Use whatever moments you think make the strongest short-form piece. Could focus on: Satisfying construction moments Drone reveals Equipment Stone placement Quick transitions Before & after moments The goal is simply to create something engaging that performs well on Instagram. Editing Style We are looking for edits that are: Fast paced without feeling rushed Clean and modern Story driven Premium Natural color grading Strong use of sound design Music that builds energy Please avoid: Overused transition packs Excessive motion graphics Flashy effects Trend edits that won't age well Less is more. Color Color grade all Sony footage. Match drone footage so everything feels cohesive. Keep colors natural and vibrant. Audio Please include: Sound effects throughout Ambient construction audio where appropriate Music that fits the pacing Audio should help sell the project rather than overpower it. Captions No captions are needed. Export Requirements Please provide: 4K export 1080p export if possible H.264 (.mp4) AOK Editing Standards At AOK Studios, we prioritize storytelling over flashy editing. Every shot should have a purpose. Keep clips moving, but don't rush important moments. Build toward the final reveal, maintain visual consistency, and let the transformation speak for itself. Pay attention to shot selection, pacing, music, sound design, and color grading to create an edit that feels polished, intentional, and professional. If you think a sequence could be improved by rearranging shots or trying a different structure, we're open to creative input. We value editors who can elevate the footage rather than simply assemble it.

We’re looking for a creative video ad producer / AI video creator / motion designer to help us create short-form social ads for a VC-backed consumer pet app called Dog Photobooth. Dog Photobooth lets dog owners upload photos of themselves and their dog, unlock a virtual vintage photo booth, create multiple themed photostrips during a 24-hour session, keep their favorites, and print the best ones. We are not looking for a basic app demo or a generic video editor. We want scroll-stopping, story-driven Instagram/TikTok/Reels ads that feel like tiny cinematic social videos. The creative direction we’re exploring is: A woman discovers an old vintage photo booth on a boardwalk. She excitedly tries to convince someone to go in with her. The viewer assumes it is her boyfriend or partner, but the reveal is that she is actually taking photobooth pictures with her dog. After the reveal, the ad transitions into a fast montage of different themed dog photostrips and communicates the “unlock the booth” concept. We want the ads to feel: nostalgic cinematic warm playful funny but not cheesy native to Instagram/TikTok emotionally memorable like a charming pet memory, not a generic AI app ad Project goal Create 3 vertical video ads for Instagram Reels, TikTok, and Meta ads. Each video should be: 9:16 vertical format 8–12 seconds long optimized for social feeds fast-paced enough to avoid early skips polished enough to run as paid ads The 3 ad concepts 1. Dog Outside the Booth A woman discovers the photo booth and appears to be talking to a romantic partner off-camera, saying things like “Come on, it’ll be fun.” The reveal is that she is actually talking to her dog. 2. Boyfriend Outside the Booth A woman discovers the booth with her boyfriend and dog. The viewer assumes she brings the boyfriend inside. Then we reveal the boyfriend is standing outside while she is inside the booth with the dog. The photostrip prints with her and the dog in every panel. 3. Your Creative Version A fresh variation on the same boardwalk/vintage photobooth concept. It should still include the dog + owner photostrip reveal and communicate that Dog Photobooth is an experience, not just a one-time image generator. Product points to communicate visually The key message is: Dog Photobooth is a virtual vintage photo booth experience for you and your dog. The ad should communicate: upload photos of you and your dog unlock the booth create many themed photostrips over 24 hours keep your favorites print the best ones Possible overlay lines: “Unlock the Booth” “24 hours” “Create as many strips as you want” “Keep your favorites” “Print the best ones” “Every dog deserves a photobooth session” Deliverables For this first project, we’d like: 3 finished vertical video ads 9:16 1080x1920 or higher 8–12 seconds each Text/caption versions Social-first captions and overlays included Clean versions without text So we can test different hooks and copy Music/sound design Light, fun, nostalgic, or cinematic Should support the reveal, not distract from it Editable project files CapCut, Premiere, After Effects, or similar preferred Individual clips/assets Especially if AI-generated, so we can remix later Visual style Think: golden-hour boardwalk vintage carnival lights old-school photo booth warm film grain Kodak / nostalgic indie film look soft natural acting expressive dog reactions photostrip printing animation fast montage of different themed strips after the reveal The final ads should feel more like: “I found a magical vintage photo booth for me and my dog.” Not: “Here is an AI image generator app.” Skills we’re looking for Ideal experience includes: AI video tools such as Veo, Kling, Runway, Luma, Pika, Higgsfield, etc. short-form paid social ads Instagram Reels / TikTok creative motion graphics CapCut, Premiere, or After Effects social storytelling performance creative / ad testing pet, lifestyle, DTC, or consumer app ads What we do not want We do not want: a slow corporate explainer a static infographic turned into a video a basic app screen recording obvious stock footage with text slapped on top generic AI app marketing overly polished but boring startup ads uncanny AI video a 30-second ad that takes too long to get to the reveal This needs to feel native to Instagram/TikTok and good enough to test as paid creative. How to apply Please include: Examples of short-form social videos or ads you’ve created Any AI video tools you use Your recommended workflow for creating these 3 ads Estimated timeline Number of revisions included Whether you can help create ongoing variations if the first ads perform well We’re looking for someone who can move quickly, think creatively, and help us build a repeatable video ad format around the vintage photobooth concept. This first project is a paid test. If the creative direction is strong, there is potential for ongoing work creating multiple ad variations per week.
