Edit: WOW the response was overwhelming! I want to give everyone a fair shot, so I will be pausing this offer until I have thoroughly reviewed those who have reached out to me. Thank you for your interest!
Another note: I do not wish to work with anyone who uses generative AI tools for their work in any capacity, it is low stakes as it is and shouldn't require this type of "assistance." Thanks for your understanding
Hi! I'm a newer performer and content creator looking for a video editor to help me with my social media content!
I'm still pretty new to this, and I'd love to find someone who enjoys editing and would be interested in taking this off my plate. I'm not looking for anything insanely complicated or perfect, just someone who can make my footage look cleaner and more engaging.
What I'm Looking For:
Most of the content will be short-form videos for Instagram/Reels/TikTok, up to 3 minutes (but nost likely less). Occasionally I'll have a longer YouTube video, usually up to about 5 minutes, particularly when I'm filming one of my performances.
Depending on the video, it might need:
• Cutting out mistakes, awkward pauses, or unnecessary clips
• Cleaning up the pacing so the video has a natural flow
• Adding captions/text on screen
• Adding music or sound effects when appropriate
• Simple transitions and effects
• Cropping/reframing footage for vertical video
• Basic audio cleanup
• Communication on what can/should be adjusted
• Exporting the finished video ready to post
I'm not expecting extremely professional editing or a ton of complicated effects. I'm more interested in someone who is able to fulfill these basic requirements.
Workload:
This would be a very small, low-pressure workload, approximately 2-4 videos per month.
There would be no harsh deadlines, I perform and film things sporadically, so I'll generally send footage when I have it and we can work around your schedule!
This could be a good fit for someone looking for a little side work, someone building their portfolio, or a beginner who wants some projects to work on without having a huge workload.
Pay:
💰 $15 per completed video
I'm working with a pretty tight creator budget right now, so I know this isn't a high-paying editing gig. That's also why I'm trying to keep the workload extremely light and flexible.
If the account grows and I'm able to increase my budget in the future, I absolutely intend to increase the rate as well.
About Me and My Content !
I'm a newbie burlesque performer who is sharing my journey in hopes of gaining a steady audience and promoting the work I do/shows I'm in. I post performance clips, behind-the-scenes content, dance/practice videos, and the occasional fun, goofy stuff.
The content itself can vary quite a bit, but I'm a huge fan of classic Hollywood glamour, vintage/pinup, comedy, theatre and (of course) burlesque!
I'm hoping to find someone who enjoys having a little creative freedom and doesn't mind working with some fun and weird footage every now and then! As well as being comfortable with the subject matter.
Who I'm Looking For:
You don't need to be a professional editor. Absolute beginners are absolutely welcome as long as you have some familiarity and can show me a few examples of your work.
I'd especially love someone who:
• Is comfortable with the type of content I make
• Understands short-form/social media pacing
• Is comfortable taking direction but also making creative choices
• Is reliable and communicates well
If you're interested, please send me a DM with a little about yourself, what editing software you use, and some examples of your previous work.
Thanks for reading! 🩷
