JOB OVERVIEW

We're covering a multi-day festival in the Philippines (Oct 16-25) as the official media partner and need an editor who can turn raw event footage into a same-day recap and process a large batch of event photos fast, without hand-holding.

This is client-facing work under real time pressure. If you've never worked a live event, conference, or festival turnaround before, say so honestly in your application, we may still consider you for the standby bench but not for this specific slot.

WHAT THE WORK ACTUALLY LOOKS LIKE:
- Event highlight reels and recap videos, cut fast, sometimes same-day
- Speaker interview and testimonial cuts
- 300+ event photos edited and delivered same-day at event close (color, crop, basic retouch, batch-consistent look)
- Working from footage/photos handed to you mid-event, not a clean pre-organized folder

WHAT WE PAY (per-deliverable, no exceptions):
- Long-form/recap video: $25 (+$5 bonus if delivered inside 72 working hours)
- Short-form: $8 per published short
- Photo batch editing: rate confirmed per batch size before work starts, in writing, never after
- No base pay, no hourly, no monthly guarantee

HARD REQUIREMENTS TO APPLY:
1. Link ONE direct sample of event/highlight-reel style editing (wedding, conference, festival, live show, something with a real deadline behind it, not scripted content)
2. Link ONE direct sample of photo editing/batch culling work (before/after on a real shoot, not a single portfolio image)
3. State whether you have handled a same-day turnaround deliverable before, and describe the actual deadline pressure you worked under
4. Confirm your timezone and realistic availability window for Oct 16-25 specifically
5. Confirm per-deliverable pay acceptance explicitly in your message

WHAT DISQUALIFIES YOU:
- No direct photo-editing sample (video-only applicants will be scored down hard, this role is half video half photo)
- Cannot commit to availability during Oct 16-25
- Portfolio only shows scripted/pre-planned content with no evidence of live/reactive editing under deadline

Given the timeline, we're moving fast: any candidate who advances gets a short paid test with a real 24-48h deadline before Oct 16. Missing that deadline without proactive communication removes you from consideration, no second chances given how close the event is.
