We are looking for a video editor to create a polished, emotional end-of-season highlight video for a youth team (35 athletes). We have a mix of:

• Photos from throughout the season
• Competition videos
• Short interview clips with athletes
• A special cameo video from Olympic gymnast

The goal is to create a cohesive, engaging “highlight film” (not just a slideshow) that captures the team’s journey, including fun moments, challenges, and achievements. ⸻ Project Scope:

• Compile and edit mixed media (photos + videos + interviews)
• Add music, transitions, and pacing appropriate for a live banquet audience
• Incorporate interview clips naturally into the story
• Audio editing for voice overs
• Feature the cameo in a meaningful moment
• Deliver a final video suitable for presentation (10 minutes preferred)

⸻ Style Direction:

• Emotional, celebratory, team-focused
• Clean and modern (not overly cheesy or templated)
• Good pacing — avoid overly long or repetitive sections
• Build toward a strong ending

⸻ Assets Provided:

• Google Drive folder with all media
• Basic outline of key moments and priorities
• Optional guidance on sequencing

⸻ Deliverables:

• Final video file (1080p minimum)
• One round of revisions included

⸻ Timeline:

• Project start: ASAP
• First draft: by May 25
• Final delivery: by June 1 (firm deadline)

⸻ Budget: Open to proposals (fixed price preferred) ⸻ To Apply: Please include: 1. 2–3 relevant video samples (highlight reels, event recaps, or similar) 2. Brief description of your editing approach for this type of project 3. Estimated turnaround time ⸻ We are looking for someone who can tell a story with the varied assets provided, not just assemble clips. Strong communication and reliability are important due to the fixed deadline.
