I’m hiring an intermediate YouTube editor for a long-form (~3,000 words / 19–24 min) psychological authority-style video.

This is NOT a fast-cut, high-energy YouTube edit.

The tone is:

  • Minimalist
  • Controlled
  • Atmospheric
  • Intellectually heavy
  • Calm but tense

Visual style will be stick-figure based, symbolic, and abstract — not cinematic live-action footage.

Think: clean black/neutral backgrounds, simple figures, subtle movement, strong atmosphere.

Scope of Work

  • Generate high-quality AI voiceover (ElevenLabs or similar – natural, human tone)
  • Edit full 18–22 minute video
  • Use 10–15 strong minimalist stick-figure compositions
  • Slow, subtle zoom/pan movement (Ken Burns style)
  • Layer atmospheric sound design (ambient drones, subtle tension beds)
  • Clean, minimal typography (no flashy kinetic text)
  • Export final video in 4K (3840x2160)

Visuals must feel intentional and restrained — not cartoonish, not comedic.

Stick figures should feel universal and symbolic, not playful.

What I’m Looking For

You must be comfortable with:

  • Long-form pacing (20 minutes)
  • Letting shots breathe (20–40 seconds when appropriate)
  • Subtle camera motion
  • Strong sound layering and audio leveling
  • Minimalist composition

If your style is heavy motion graphics, loud transitions, or rapid cutting — this is not the right fit.

Budget

$200 fixed price

Potential for ongoing work if this goes well.

Turnaround

3–4 days max after script delivery.

To Apply

1. Share 1–2 long-form minimalist or documentary-style edits.

2. Confirm experience generating natural AI voiceover.

3. Briefly describe how you would approach pacing for a 20-minute psychological essay with stick figures.
