Hiring] Next-Level Video Editor for Short-Form Food Content ($20 -> $90+/reel)
[
Hey Reddit, I’m looking for a killer video editor to help roll out a premium, high-engaging new format for my food reels. This is a long-term gig with a highly consistent workflow.
The Details:
Pay: Starts at $20/reel, bumping up to $90+/reel once we find our rhythm.
Speed: Tight 12–16 hour turnaround (footage delivered at night, first draft ready by morning).
Vibe: Rapid-fire pacing, zero dead air, high-end color grading, and hyper-engaging 3-5 second hooks.
The Test (Show Me Your Skills):
I want to see your creative instincts in action. Below is a video that is already edited, along with 3 style references that capture the aesthetic I'm chasing.
Your assignment is to take my current edit and completely imorovise it. Don't just copy it, make it punchier, more cinematic, and give it better flow. Mess with the clip order, re-sequence the hook, and show me how you'd maximize viewer retention.
