Larxy (@Larxy_), a Gorilla Tag YouTuber, is looking for an editor to handle the finishing pass on his videos: visual effects, sound effects, and subtitles. Footage comes to you already cut and ordered in a Premiere Pro project, with clear instructions for each video, so you can focus entirely on the finishing work. Reference videos: video 1, video 2.

Pay: $125 per video, $500-1,000/month at 4-8 videos
Format: Long-form (finishing pass, footage pre-cut)
Style/Niche: Gorilla Tag, comedy/gaming, fast, punchy, meme-style
Volume: 4-8 videos/month ongoing if it's a good fit, 3-day turnaround per video

What you'll do: add VFX (zooms, shakes, impact frames, flashes, freeze frames, meme inserts), sound effects, and subtitles where needed (punchlines, emphasis), keeping the pacing high-energy and funny.

Looking for: Premiere Pro experience, a feel for YouTube comedy/gaming editing, reliability with deadlines, and openness to feedback. Gorilla Tag knowledge is a plus, not required.

How to apply (Discord): This is hired through Discord, not Reddit. DM larsblom123 your portfolio (YouTube edits preferred), your rate and turnaround, and what software you use: discord.com/users/720369302909222942. If the link doesn't work, search "larsblom123" under Find or Start a Conversation.

Title: GIANT DECEPTION

Logline: When an elite Navy SEAL team is lured into a remote Afghan mountain pass by an insurgent trap, they discover the true enemy isn't the militia they were hunting—it's a pair of aggressive, fifteen-foot prehistoric humanoids awakened deep within the caves.

Format: Feature Film (104 Pages) / Looking to develop a high-impact cinematic trailer or proof-of-concept short.

Genre: Military Tactical Thriller / Creature Horror (Black Hawk Down meets Predator).

The Lore Hook:

This screenplay is loosely based on the viral "Giant of Kandahar" military urban legend, which was recently detailed on the Joe Rogan Experience by an ex-Navy SEAL who encountered the lore firsthand while serving in Afghanistan. The story leans heavily into a raw, authentic military perspective—blending real-world tactical mechanics with the dark mystery hidden inside isolated cave networks.

Why this is tailor-made for an AI production pipeline or Indie Producer:

1. Built-in Viral Audience: The Kandahar Giant is one of the most famous, heavily discussed modern military mysteries on the internet. A cinematic trailer or proof-of-concept short targeting this specific niche carries immense built-in viral potential.

2. Grounded Assets vs. Massive Scale: Advanced video tools excel at rendering rigid mechanical objects like military gear, Humvees, Black Hawks, and uniforms. This allows us to pull off intense tactical operations and visceral combat against 15-foot Giants using primitive stone weapons—all without a legacy $150M studio budget.

3. Advanced Technical Showcases: The script is packed with perfect opportunities to flex cinematic technical skills, including high-intensity night-vision/thermal camera sequences, cave dust/smoke particle physics, and strict physical asset tracking.

What I Have:

A structurally locked, fully polished, industry-standard 104-page script.

What I'm Seeking:

I am looking to connect with a visionary indie producer, director, AI animator, or technical video editor who wants to move away from generic concept loops and sink their teeth into a hyper-realistic, narrative-driven action thriller. Let’s partner up, pool our skills, and bring this legendary myth to life.

I saw this video six years ago and started writing the screenplay shortly after. Mr. Ballen who is telling this story is an ex Navy SEAL with 11.3 million YouTube subscribers. He was a guest on The Joe Rogan Experience last month and told this story.

The creator behind @LuckMaxxer0, a faceless commentary YouTube channel, is looking for a long-form editor. Watch the channel's videos to get a real sense of the content and personality. Paid per project for now since the channel isn't monetised yet, but he's ideally looking for a long-term working relationship.

Pay: $300 per video, paid after completion via Zelle (preferred) or Venmo. Both are US-only, so US-based editors only
Format: Long-form (6-8 minutes)
Style/Niche: Faceless commentary, visuals and SFX, some 2D After Effects animation
Volume: 1 video/week, 3-7 day turnaround (flexible)

He handles the story and edits his own voiceovers. A script with editing notes is provided, plus organised folders of frequently used assets. You'll handle visuals and sound effects (don't go overboard), plus unique 2D AE animations in marked script sections, mostly in the intro and scattered throughout. Expect back-and-forth revisions, since he wants time to review and comment before each upload.

How to apply (Discord): This is hired through Discord, not Reddit. A paid sample is required: $10 for a 15-second clip from one of his videos. DM saltyysmalls: discord.com/users/875220019217301555. If the link doesn't work, search "saltyysmalls" under Find or Start a Conversation.

Alex is looking for 2D animators for Shorts. Voiceover and script are provided, and you'll need to generate high-quality assets in the style of Gumm Films (reference only, not the client's channel).

Pay: $80 per Short, ~$2,400/month at 1 Short/day, ~$4,800/month at 2
Format: Short-form (2D animated Shorts)
Style/Niche: 2D animation, Gumm Films style
Volume: At least 1 Short/day, aiming for 2

A note from the mod team: The required output here (at least one finished animated Short per day) is a very demanding pace for a solo animator, so make sure it's realistic for your workflow before applying. If the advertised pay, volume, or terms don't suit you, feel free to negotiate with the client directly. The listing is a starting point, not a final offer.

How to apply (Discord): This is hired through Discord, not Reddit. You must send similar work, or your application will be ignored completely. Don't apply if you can't make at least 1 video per day. DM alexlebron8: discord.com/users/1518785639846383621. If the link doesn't work, search "alexlebron8" under Find or Start a Conversation.

We are looking for a freelance editor to work with on VideoGhost clips.

I record narrative-driven stories with entrepreneurs on Riverside.fm, then trim each one into a tight 60-second clip. The story is done. What I need is someone to make it hit.

What you'd handle:

•Pacing and rhythm
•Captions
•Motion graphics
•Light sound design, only where it makes a moment pop

What you won't be doing: digging through an hour of footage or making jump cuts. Clips arrive trimmed and ready.

I'm looking for someone creative with good instincts. You know when to add something and when to leave it alone.

Ideally you edit in Premiere and After Effects, can turn clips around in 48 hours, and want ongoing freelance work, paid per clip.

To apply, send your short-form reel through the link in the comments. I'll pick 10 editors from the strongest reels for a paid trial clip.

Looking for a thumbnail artist for a true crime documentary YouTube channel. Style needs to be cinematic and moody, closer to a documentary poster than a typical true crime thumbnail.

Pay: $15-30/thumbnail

Format: YouTube thumbnails for long-form documentary content

Style/Niche: Cinematic, moody, restrained, true crime documentary

Style notes:

- Not clip-art gore or exaggerated shock-face reaction thumbnails

- Not the loud red-arrow/circle-face style common on true crime channels

- Not an AI-collage or generic stock-photo look

- Should feel like a deliberate piece of art tied to the specific case, not a template with a new photo dropped in

Requirements:

- Strong understanding of thumbnail psychology

How to apply (via Discord, I'm sharing this on behalf of the client, not hiring directly): Send your portfolio (true crime/documentary/atmospheric work first) to rainy9911 on Discord (https://discord.com/users/959312897308254248), then follow up your message with the phrase "no gore" to confirm you've read the brief.
