JOB OVERVIEW

I'm Nikk ---------- train everyday people — waiters, veterans, retail workers — to become remote high-ticket sales closers. I post talking-head reels on Instagram and need an editor who can make them look dark, clean and premium.
The style: deep blacks, red accent color, captions that punch the key word, and B-roll that acts out the line. Think Aayush Swamy ---------- and ---------- you'll do:
Edit 15–30 vertical reels a month (30–90 seconds) from raw talking-head footage.
Pull B-roll from my library (cars, yacht, restaurants, lifestyle).
Color grade iPhone HDR footage into a dark, natural look.
Design and animate captions.
Turn edits around in 48 hours.
You're a fit if:
You've edited talking-head reels that got real views.
You can show dark or cinematic work.
You use Premiere Pro, DaVinci Resolve, CapCut Pro or After Effects.
You communicate clearly in English and hit deadlines.
Pay: per finished reel, rate based on your test. Long-term work for the right person.

How to apply:
Read the brief and download the footage: ----------

Cut the 3 test edits in the brief.
Upload them to your own folder in the Submissions folder (named: Your Name — email — date).
Reply here with your folder name and links to 3 reels you've edited.
Applications without the 3 test edits will not be reviewed.

Screening questions:
Which editing software do you use?
How many reels can you deliver per week?
What's your rate per 60-second reel?
