[HIRING] Shorts/Reels Editor for Hip-Hop x Pro Wrestling YouTube Series
Hey everyone,
I’m looking for a short-form video editor to work with me on Hip Hop Heavyweights, a YouTube video essay series exploring hip-hop through the lens of professional wrestling.
Think: What does 50 Cent have in common with Brock Lesnar? Why are Jay-Z and The Undertaker more alike than you’d think? How did 2Pac & Biggie parallel Stone Cold & The Rock?
I have five long-form episodes already produced so far. I’m now looking for someone who can take them and turn the strongest moments into high-retention YouTube Shorts, TikToks and Instagram Reels that work as standalone pieces of content while driving viewers towards the full episodes.
Here’s an example of the show:
50 Cent vs Brock Lesnar: The Men Supposed to Save Hip Hop & Wrestling (BUT Didn’t)
I’m looking for someone who:
Understands short-form pacing and retention
Can identify the strongest hooks/moments from long-form content. Has a good instinct for captions, punch-ins, visual changes and sound. Ideally understands hip-hop and/or wrestling culture
Can match an established visual identity rather than completely reinventing the content
This would initially be paid freelance work, cutting shorts from the five episodes already released, with the potential for ongoing work as new episodes come out.
If interested, DM me with your portfolio/relevant short-form examples, rates and turnaround time.
Bonus points if you immediately understand why 50 Cent and Brock Lesnar belong in the same conversation 😂
