Hey! I’m starting a new YouTube commentary channel focused on:

forbidden places
interesting things around the world
internet rabbit holes
conspiracy theories
weird history/culture
ghost towns, mysteries, futuristic cities, bizarre laws, etc.

The overall vibe I'm going for is:

conversational/casual but focused on curiosity/mystery
funny/sarcastic at times
more “late night rabbit hole with friends” than polished video essay narration
a kind of casual commentary/penguinz0 vibe, but with the subject matter of Luke Caverns, Wendigoon, Weird Poi, etc.

I’m looking for an experienced editor experienced in this style of YouTube content who can:

keep strong pacing/retention
cut dead air and bad takes
source engaging B-roll/archival footage
preserve personality/authenticity
create captivating hooks/intros
perform basic audio editing (removing breaths/background noise, etc.)
create entertaining edits without the MrBeast super over edited brainrot style

Style references:

Requirements:

3+ years of editing experience
experience editing commentary / video essay adjacent YouTube content
preferably worked with medium-to-large creators OR can showcase videos they edited that reached at least ~50k+ views

Budget:
~$150–225 USD per video depending on experience, quality, length of video, etc.

If interested, please send me a DM with:

portfolio/examples
channels/videos you’ve edited for
your Discord/contact info

For the first video, I’d ideally like to see a sample edit of the first 1-2 minutes before moving forward with the full paid edit.

If it’s a good fit, I’d love to work together long-term! 😄
