Seeking Elite YouTube / AI Video Editor for Luxury Documentary-Style Brand
I am seeking a highly skilled video editor / AI creative specialist to work directly with me on a growing luxury documentary-style YouTube channel and media brand focused on pearls, jewelry, history, fashion, luxury, storytelling, and media.
IMPORTANT:
Before applying, please review my content style on:
• YouTube: “Matt Harris Pearls”
•
I want applicants to understand the tone, pacing, style, personality, and visual direction of the brand before applying.
This is NOT generic YouTube editing.
Much of the content involves me speaking directly to camera (“talking head” style) while the editor dynamically enhances the storytelling through:
• cinematic cutaways
• AI-generated scenes
• AI generated historical reenactments
• motion graphics
• elegant animations
• visual storytelling
• scene transitions
• archival imagery
• luxury atmosphere
• sound design
• pacing and emotional tension
The ideal editor knows how to make educational content feel visually alive, emotionally engaging, intelligent, cinematic, concise, and modern — WITHOUT becoming overly flashy, chaotic, or gimmicky.
The style is closer to:
• Netflix mini-documentaries
• Discovery Channel
• luxury brand campaigns
• museum storytelling
• high-end YouTube documentaries
NOT:
• hyperactive TikTok editing
•
• excessive transitions/effects
• loud “YouTube bro” editing
PROJECT TYPES INCLUDE:
• YouTube documentaries and storytelling videos
• AI-generated historical reenactments
• Short-form social clips and reels
• Luxury-style video ads
• Motion graphics and cinematic sequences
• Promotional brand videos
• Film-style graphics and creative media assets
REQUIRED SKILLS:
• Professional-level Premiere, DaVinci Resolve, or equivalent
• After Effects / motion graphics
• Strong cinematic storytelling instincts
• Ability to keep talking-head content visually dynamic
• Excellent pacing and sound design
• Understanding of YouTube long form video structure and retention
• AI-assisted filmmaking workflows
• Strong communication and reliability
• Ability to maintain a consistent visual identity
AI TOOLS EXPERIENCE:
Please specify your experience level with:
• Higgsfield
• Runway
• Kling
• Veo
• Midjourney
• Flux
• ChatGPT
• Other AI filmmaking or animation tools
IMPORTANT:
• You personally must perform the editing work
• Outsourcing or handing projects to tea
• Consistency and artistic quality are extremely important
• I care more about storytelling, emotional impact, and brand sophistication than flashy editing tricks
ABOUT ME:
I am Matt Harris, a pearl historian, jewelry designer, luxury storyteller, and media personality. My work combines history, fashion, luxury psychology, museums, pearls, and cinematic storytelling. The channel currently has over 140,000 subscribers and millions of views.
To apply, please send:
1. Portfolio links
2. Your BEST cinematic or documentary-style work
3. Your BEST talking-head educational content
4. Your BEST AI-enhanced storytelling work
5. Examples of luxury or emotionally-driven edits
6. Your approximate hourly or monthly rate
7. A brief explanation of your editing and AI workflow
8. Whether you work alone or as part of a team
Bonus points if your work feels:
• intelligent
• atmospheric
• cinematic
• luxurious
• emotionally engaging
• historically immersive
• polished and modern without feeling generic
More bonus points if you:
* Have an understanding of YouTube monetization
* Have experience with building funnels
* Have experience working with GoHighLevel
If your style leans heavily toward generic TikTok editing,
I am looking for someone who understands mood, elegance, emotional storytelling, visual sophistication, and brand identity at a high level.
