JOB OVERVIEW

I run a wedding film company in California and shoot documentary
style, no posing, no prompting. The story comes from what actually happened that
day and from what people said. I am looking for one editor to build a long-term
working relationship with, not a one-off gig.

WHAT THE WORK IS
Full-day wedding footage (sometimes with rehearsal dinner. coverage), a 7 to 8 minute documentary film out. Story driven, non-linear edits.

You will NOT be color grading, unless you are an experienced colorist and are interested. Additional pay can be negotiated then.

NON-NEGOTIABLES
- DaVinci Resolve. Not Premiere, not Final Cut. I need the project file to open
clean on my system.
- Real experience editing documentary style wedding films. Not corporate, not
music video, not TikTok. Wedding. List how many years of experience you have editing weddings.
- Reliable internet.
Tell me your specs and your typical download speed.
- Comfortable on Zoom. I am happy to do 1:1 calls to train you into my style, and
I would rather invest that time up front than send notes back and forth forever.

HOW TO APPLY (read this part carefully, I read every application)
Watch these two films all the way through:

1. ----------
2. ----------

Then, in your application, tell me what you noticed about how they are built.
Not "beautiful work, I love your style." I want to know what you noticed in the story building and shot selection.
How the pacing moves with the music.

Put GOLDEN HOUR at the top of your message so I know you read this.

Applications that do not respond to the actual films will not get a reply.

ALSO TELL ME
- Your lead time. If I send you a wedding today, when do I get the first cut
back? Be honest, I would rather have a real number than an optimistic one.
- How many films you can take on per month.
- A link to 1 or 2 wedding films you've edited that are similar to my style.

WHAT I PROVIDE
- All footage as ready-to-edit proxies, delivered via Dropbox
- The licensed music track. You do not need to source music
- Timeline with music tracks placed and mixed together
- A creative brief for each wedding
- Timeline with A-roll culled for you to use in the wedding film
- Direct access to me. Ask questions, I answer

Workflow
1. I send all necessary files.
2. You create storyline with A-roll. Then you send project file back to me.
3. I adjust A-roll and choose which video clips are included or excluded. I send project back to you.
4. You place B-roll, add digital zooms and stabilize clips. Then you send project file back to me.
5. I review and make any notes of what I want you to change.
6. You make final revisions and send to me.

PAY
$200 USD per film, paid on delivery via Wise.

All footage is confidential client work. Nothing gets posted or added to a reel
without my written permission.
