Editing of video course 'how to be God'

Introduction
I am a life and business coach, an entrepreneur, and the leader of a political party in the UK called ‘Everyone is God’. My life & political mission is to: Empower Everyone, Solve Everything, and Fulfil Every Dream. A far as I am aware this course in 'How to be God' is the first course of it's nature in human history, and as such the successful freelancer will have a sense of excitement and enthusiasm in carrying out this project.

Scope of the project
The video course will consist of approximately 40 videos varying in length from about 5 – 30 mins each. I will film and supply the raw footage of me speaking in my studio with a plain background, there will also be some channelled footage with me and my partner in the studio (A-roll). The format and editing of each video will need to be fully professional in all aspects, and follow a consistent pattern as follows:
• Professional, clean, simple, and inspiring feel.
• Consistent intro and outro. (simple logo animation and graphics)
• Use of text to introduce each section.
• Occasional use of simple info graphics.
• Simple clean dynamic editing and dynamic cuts to the raw footage and to stock photos and video (B-roll) to give calm feeling to the videos.

Additionally, to this I will need simple editing of the logo animation and graphics so they are a suitable format for other digital requirements such as my YouTube channel and websites, for consistency of branding across all media.

How we will work together
Phase 1 – Building a working relationship.
The successful freelancer will need to work with me closely and speak good English, you will need to be entirely happy regularly talking on video calls and screen sharing.

Phase 2 – Exploring and clarifying the format and style of the editing, and the working process.
It is crucial that we have the time needed to develop and achieve a presentation of the material that works perfectly, i.e. unlimited revisions.
The purpose of phase 2 is also to make phase three 3 (batch post production) as efficient as possible, and to a standard repeated pattern. It is important to understand that I fully intend to provide you with quality video that needs little or no colour correction, image stabilisation, audio clean-up, etc with a ratio of raw footage to final being around 1.25 to 1 or less. We will make sure you have everything you need, in the simplest and best possible format, so your work is straightforward, and you will need to advise me on what makes your job easy.

Phase 3 – Batch post production
Video editing should then run smoothly and quickly, as essentially every video should be of a similar format and require a repeated editing procedure.

Time schedules
There is no fixed deadline for completion, however clearly the project needs to be finished in a timely manner. The time scale I propose below is most likely a best-case scenario if everything goes smoothly (something that is rare).
Phase 1 and 2 - Mid July to mid August 2025
Phase 3 - Mid August to end November 2025

Payment terms TBC
I propose that a 6% deposit would be paid prior to phase 1, and then stage payments on completion of each phase of work.

Future Work
If the project is successful I intend to produce further video courses.
