Watch it. Or donât. But if you can't make sense of that â youâre not my people.
Iâm looking for a video editor who doesnât flinch. Someone with both technical chops and an unholy creative instinct. You need to be fast, smart, weird, and probably a little dangerous. This is YouTube, but not the TikTok-barf-filter side of it â this is YouTube for the thinking man who still enjoys a little madness with his insight.
I am a professional writer. Not a blogger. A writer. If you think bloggers are writers, go ahead and pay your mortgage in views and karma and let the grown-ups handle the heavy lifting.
The Job:
Youâll take a heap of raw footage (me, ranting, riffing, occasionally coherent) and turn it into a 10â15 minute video that hits hard, looks good, and keeps people watching. I want rhythm. I want story. I want style. This is editing as an act of violence and grace.
You should:
- Understand pacing like a jazz drummer with insomnia
- Add captions, memes, zooms, effects without making it look like a 12-year-oldâs TikTok
- Know how to use silence as well as you use sound
- Be creative, fast, independent, and hungry
This isnât a Fiverr gig where you slap a filter on and call it a day.
I want someone who gives a damn.
Someone who knows when to cut, and when to let it breathe.
Tech:
Premiere, Final Cut, After Effects â whatever gets it done. Just make it sing.
đ” Budget: $90â130 per video (and if you blow my mind, Iâll go higher)
đ§ Ongoing work: 2â3 vids a week, steady pace, room to grow
đ Turnaround: 2â3 days per vid
đŹ Send me:
- Your reel (not your rĂ©sumĂ© â I donât care what college you went to, show me the work)
- Your rates
- Turnaround time
- Bonus: Tell me your editing philosophy. If you say âclient satisfactionâ Iâm blocking you.
Letâs make something people canât scroll past.
Letâs scare the algorithm.
Letâs ride.
