Do Not Message Me. I don't know much about video editing. But know a lot about scammers and how they scam on here. Thanks

Any Advice, Thanks

So say that I have some videos that I need to have edited. (Not asking here.. asking how to ask)

Looking through the hire reddit, I see a lot of flash cuts, lot of people offering free or 5 bucks, 15 an hour, people saying they should charge 1000's, people offering $10 bucks per video. but most of the videos: words quickly splash across the screen, fast jump cuts, etc., not what I'm looking for.

I want something like the video posted below , I really like how the graphics and color told the story as much as the guy talking.

1. What video editing style is that?
2. How do you storyboard that for an editor, as I think I am a creative guy, but I don't know what's possible or how to even how to ask really.
3. What is a reasonable and fair charge, for roughly a 4 minute video? I see the OP said, $35, then said $35 per minute, but he never actually said he created the video. Alluded to it, I assume he did.
4. How do you not hire a scammer that shows someone else's portfolio, I hired someone last year, that had a great portfolio, Send him some stuff and what he sent back was something well his edits were worse than my edits and I'm not a video editor and I don't think he actually read what I was asking for.. (Also 2 to 3 weeks of I'm getting to it, after saying he would work on and have it completed in 48 hours,

Any thoughts greatly apricated.
