Description: I’m looking for a highly skilled video editor to upgrade an existing sizzle reel that was professionally made last year. The reel features national TV interviews and is used to open keynote speeches. It’s already strong, but I want to elevate it further with dramatic cut-ins and new segments. This project requires Hollywood-level polish—think cinematic pacing, custom motion graphics, and strong storytelling. Not basic cuts. Not slideshows. Real editing. What I Need: Add segments from a couple new TV segments (I’ll provide raw footage and timestamps) Insert date/time overlays on a few clips to emphasize how early I was in predicting key national events Refine pacing, improve energy, and make the reel tighter and more impactful Maintain the high-end, professional tone—this should look like a trailer for a major event or docuseries What I’ll Provide: The current sizzle reel (professionally edited in 2023) All new interview footage Clear instructions and timestamps for clip insertion Direction on tone, sequence, and style Must-Have Skills: Expert-level editing in Adobe After Effects and Premiere Pro Experience creating sizzle reels, trailers, or keynote speaker videos Strong sense of dramatic timing, pacing, and visual storytelling Portfolio that shows Hollywood-style polish (please include links) Timeline & Revisions: Final version must be completed within 7 days of project start Includes up to 2 rounds of revision after the first cut Deliverables: High-resolution final file suitable for stage playback (MP4 1080p or 4K), plus project files if requested Important: Please do not apply unless you are highly skilled in Adobe After Effects. This project requires cinematic motion graphics and dramatic overlays. Standard Premiere-only editing won’t be sufficient.
