We’re looking for a talented freelance creator/filmmaker/editor (or very small production team) based in Ohio to help create a lo-fi, authentic social media video for a workshop factory in Cleveland.  This is NOT a traditional glossy commercial. We want something that feels real, warm, charming, slightly imperfect, and genuinely human, like it was filmed in-house by creative employees with good taste. The concept centers around actual factory craftsmen/craftswomen and local community members lip-syncing/miming along to an original song. Reference Tone: * social-first authenticity * Documentary energy * Fun and irreverent PROJECT SCOPE * 1x Hero Film (approx. 60–90 seconds) * Potential cutdowns for social media (15s / 30s) WHO WE’RE LOOKING FOR We need someone who can: * Direct non-actors naturally * Capture authentic moments and personality * Work quickly with a small footprint * Film in an energetic but natural style * Edit rhythmically to music * Make something feel culturally real, not “advertising” The workers are the stars - not actors. FILMING STYLE * Handheld / natural camera movement * Real factory lighting (maybe mixed with minimal supplemental lighting) * Lo-fi authenticity over polished perfection * Natural expressions and interactions * Quick cuts synced to music * Close-up craftsmanship details * Textures, materials, movement, pride WE HAVE Already written the script and recorded the music. We need someone to help bring it to life. LOCATION Must be based in Ohio (or nearby driving distance). Filming will take place at the factory workshop in Cleveland with supplemental shots around the local  neighborhood.  Because of budget constraints, we are specifically seeking local/regional creatives rather than national production companies. IDEAL EXPERIENCE Would love to see examples of: * Music videos * Social-first branded content * Documentary-style filmmaking * Culture/community storytelling Small crews preferred. BUDGET Modest / indie-style budget. Open to discussing scope and budget. TO APPLY Please send: * Portfolio / reel * Examples of authentic or music-led storytelling work * Your location * Typical crew size * Editing capabilities * Approximate day rates or project pricing Bonus if you have experience making non-actors feel comfortable on camera.

I'm building an iOS app and need a reliable editor to assemble short vertical videos (15–35 sec) for TikTok, Instagram Reels, and YouTube Shorts. Same clip reposts to all three. This is assembly + captioning, not creative direction. I write the scripts, record the voiceover, and point you to the B-roll. Your job is to put it together cleanly and consistently to a fixed style. If you nail the style and hit deadlines, this becomes steady ongoing work. You'll receive: a script, a voiceover MP3, and B-roll direction (a shared folder of clips). You'll deliver: a finished 9:16 video with: Word-by-word burned-in captions (not full-sentence subtitles), synced to the voiceover One bold sans-serif font; white text with a coral accent on keywords Calm, clean cuts that match the voiceover pacing A warm, grown-up aesthetic — no flashy transitions, no zoom-pumps, no "viral energy" effects Must-haves: A portfolio with restrained short-form work (clean and minimal, not over-edited) Experience with faceless, voiceover-driven content Consistency and reliable turnaround over flashiness To apply: In your first line, tell me the most over-edited thing you see editors do to short-form video and why you'd avoid it. (This tells me you read the brief.) Then link 1–2 portfolio samples that show calm, minimal editing. Shortlisted editors get a small paid test (one video) before any ongoing arrangement.

About the Project We are a confidential wellness platform developing a premium video course designed to help people quit smoking and vaping (permanently) without willpower, patches, or medication. The method is rooted in cognitive reframing and behavioral psychology, and the course will be filmed with a professional spokesperson reading from a teleprompter. We have a complete, professionally written script approximately 25,000 words across five modules that has already been reviewed by a licensed therapist and behavioral health consultant. The core content is strong. What we need now is a skilled editor who can sharpen the language for on-camera delivery, improve relatability for a Gen Z and Millennial audience, and enhance the visual storytelling concepts embedded throughout. This project requires signing a Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA) before any materials are shared. The platform name and full concept will not be disclosed until the NDA is executed. What You Will Be Doing You will receive the full script and be asked to: 1. Edit for teleprompter and on-camera delivery. The script will be read aloud by a spokesperson on camera. Language needs to flow naturally when spoken, not just when read. Sentences that are too long, too complex, or that create awkward pauses on camera need to be restructured. You should have a strong instinct for the difference between writing that reads well and writing that sounds well. 2. Rephrase and tighten language so it resonates naturally with a 16–35 year old audience without losing the authority and clinical grounding of the original. The tone should feel like a trusted, intelligent peer — not a health campaign, not a lecture, not a brand voice. 3. Improve or replace visual concept examples throughout the script. The script contains detailed suggestions for on-screen graphics, metaphors, and visual demonstrations. Your job is to evaluate each one and suggest alternatives that are more culturally current, more vivid, or more likely to land with a younger viewer who grew up on TikTok, YouTube, and short-form content. 4. Flag any language that feels dated, clinical, or out of touch with how young people actually talk about addiction, vaping, mental health, and identity. Suggest replacements. 5. Preserve the psychological architecture. The script follows a specific reframing methodology. You are not rewriting the method — you are improving the delivery. The logic, sequence, and therapeutic intent must remain intact. Ideal Candidate Profile You are a strong fit for this project if you: • Write and edit exceptionally well, with a clear instinct for how language sounds when spoken aloud • Have experience writing or editing scripts for teleprompter, on-camera talent, or video production • Understand how Gen Z and younger Millennials talk about mental health, habits, identity, and self-improvement • Have experience writing for or about addiction, behavioral change, wellness, or lifestyle topics • Are familiar with short-form content culture (TikTok, Reels, YouTube) and understand what makes concepts land visually for this demographic • Can work with nuance, this is not surface-level copywriting; the script has psychological depth and the edits must honor that Bonus if you have: • Experience writing for documentary, educational video, or long-form branded content • A background in psychology, behavioral health, or addiction counseling • Familiarity with the Allen Carr Easyway method or similar behavioral change frameworks • Experience writing for health and wellness brands targeting young adults Looking to get started right away. Let me know if you feel this is a good fit and why. Thank you.

About us We're NOVOS — a science-first longevity company built by scientists from Harvard, MIT, Columbia, Duke, and Yale. We make supplements and biological-age tests that help people stay themselves for longer. NOVOS Core is the first formula built to target all 12 mechanisms of aging at once — patent-pending, based on 400+ studies, and the only supplement shown to extend lifespan in aged mice by nearly 20%. Our category is loud, exaggerated, and visually noisy. We're the opposite: restrained, rigorous, human-first. We're looking for an editor who understands that restraint reads as premium — and who can still stop a thumb mid-scroll. The role You'll own video production across YouTube, social (Meta, Instagram, TikTok), and web. That means both: • Long-form — founder content, science explainers, customer-story features, podcast-style cuts • Short-form — vertical hooks, ad creative variants, organic social, and cutdowns repurposed from long-form This is an ongoing engagement with ad-hoc project requests on a weekly basis — some weeks a single hero edit, some weeks a batch of short-form variants. We need someone reliable, fast, and self-directed enough to turn briefs around without hand-holding. And this isn't a pure editing seat. We want someone who thinks like a marketer first and an editor second — someone who understands buyer psychology at each stage of consideration, and can build creative that moves a viewer from curious to convinced to customer. One standard that runs through everything we make When we talk about our products, we say things no other brand could say. If a competitor could swap their logo onto our creative and run it unchanged, we've failed. "Backed by science" is a line anyone can steal. "The only supplement shown to extend lifespan in aged mice by nearly 20%" is ours alone. You'll be expected to reach for the specific, ownable proof point every time — not the generic wellness gloss the category drowns in. What you'll actually do • Cut long-form founder and educational content, then atomize it into short-form across channels • Build top-of-funnel hooks that lead with emotional truth, and mid-funnel creative that leads with proof — clinical charts, press logos, credibility overlays • Produce multiple creative variants per concept for A/B testing: different hooks, different opening frames, different pacing • Turn real customer before/after stories into scroll-stopping features Hold a consistent visual system across every format: clean, editorial, science-supported, never gimmicky You're a strong fit if you • Have a reel showing both long-form storytelling and high-performing short-form • Understand what makes people buy — you've made creative that converted, not just creative that looked good • Know the difference between top-of-funnel and bottom-of-funnel creative, and can name why a hook works • Have worked with (or aspire to the standard of) premium, considered brands — Apple, AG1, Seed — not typical supplement-ad energy • Can take a rough brief and return something sharper than what was asked for • Are fast, self-directed, and comfortable owning production end-to-end Bonus points • Experience in health, wellness, longevity, or DTC supplements • Comfort with claims-sensitive content — our copy is FDA/FTC-compliant, and video is no exception (we'll guide you) • Motion graphics / data-visualization skills for science explainers To apply Send your reel or portfolio. In 2–3 sentences, tell us about one piece of video content you made that drove a real business result — and why you think it worked. Applications without a reel and that note won't be reviewed.

I'm a licensed clinician and parenting expert building an education brand for parents of struggling kids and teens. I create all the raw content myself — talking-head videos and podcast recordings. I need one reliable person to turn that raw material into polished, published content every week. This is an execution role, not a strategy role. The content calendar, topics, and brand voice are already defined. Your job is to make the machine run. Weekly deliverables: Edit 3–4 Instagram Reels (60–90 sec) from raw talking-head footage I provide: trim dead air, add burned-in captions, add a text hook on screen, export to Instagram spec Edit 1 podcast episode (20–30 min): clean audio, cut restarts and flagged sections, upload to Buzzsprout with the title and description I approve Pull 2–3 short clips from each podcast episode for use as Reels Schedule all posts in the weekly content calendar (Later, Metricool, or similar) Light account management from a guideline doc: follow relevant accounts, flag comments and DMs that need my personal reply (you will not respond as me on substantive messages) Workflow: I batch-record and drop raw files in a shared Google Drive folder once a week with brief notes. You return edited drafts within 72 hours. One revision round per piece. One short weekly check-in call for the first month, then async. You're a fit if you have: A portfolio with talking-head educational or expert content (coaches, clinicians, educators — not just montages or meme edits) Native-level written English — captions must be accurate, including clinical vocabulary Experience with captioning/subtitling tools and at least one audio editor (Descript, CapCut, Premiere, Audacity — your choice, I care about output) A clear delivery process: organized files, consistent naming, deadlines met without chasing Good judgment about tone. This content deals with struggling kids and worried parents. It is direct but never clickbait. If your instinct is trending audio and rapid jump cuts, this isn't the right fit. Where this goes: This role starts focused, but it won't stay small. The brand has several additional offerings launching over the next year — a podcast expansion, parent programs, and professional training — and each will need content and social media support. My strong preference is to expand this role rather than hire around it. The person who proves themselves in the first three months has first claim on that growth. Compensation structure: $500/month flat retainer covering the deliverables above (works out to roughly $115–$125/week, or about $15–$18/hr at the expected 6–8 hrs/week). Paid through Upwork weekly milestones. As scope expands per the above, the retainer will be renegotiated upward to match. To apply: Link 2–3 examples of talking-head content you've edited (Reels, TikToks, or YouTube Shorts) Tell me in 2–3 sentences how you'd handle a raw 5-minute clip where the strongest moment is buried at the 3-minute mark Start your proposal with the word "ANCHOR" so I know you read this far Shortlisted candidates will be offered a short paid test edit before hiring.
