Description
I make documentaries about different cultures around the world. I'm looking for an editor to create YouTube shorts out of the documentaries that I upload. You will need to be fluent in English and Urdu, and you will need to be experienced with video editing.
The work is very simple:
Cut 1 minute scenes from the longer videos, change the sizing to portrait, and add English subtitles.
You will need to watch through the documentary and pick out the best parts to be made into shorts.
The price is £4 per short for 5 shorts. I will need someone long term as I have many documentaries to make. My current YouTube series is going to be 15 episodes in total about my travels in Pakistan. I am currently on Episode 2.
Depending on how well you do with these 5 shorts, I will then consider hiring you long term.
I also have other portrait videos that I have shot in Pakistan that can be made into shorts. You will need to be creative with these regarding soundtracks for TikTok, Instagram and YouTube. We can do a trial video for this, but for now I need shorts made out of my latest documentary. It is about a mountain tribe who live cut off from the rest of the world in an area known as 'The Roof of the World'. I document my time with them and share my story of attending a tribal wedding.

Please watch through this documentary and send me a list of the 5 shorts (or more) that you would make
I look forward to working with you.

- Are there any specific storytelling elements or themes you'd like emphasized in the shorts, such as humor, emotion, or suspense?
- For the portrait videos being adapted for TikTok, Instagram, and YouTube, do you have any guidelines or preferences for soundtracks or music styles to fit each platform?
- Given the focus on different cultures, are there particular aspects you’d like handled with special attention to authenticity or sensitivity?Asra H.24 Nov 2024Hello I am sorry I just saw this now! I have got somebody for the Wakhi documentary but there is so much more work that needs doing.
Here are a couple of shorts that have been done for me from the Wakhi documentary:

As you can see they're just clippings from the main video (I will send you the clipping) You simply have to be creative with how you make it portrait and add subtitles. So as you can see the editor has chosen font and colours that match the clipping.
