Second Editor Production Jobs

We're looking for an editor to help with basic assembly for a YouTube video essay about Lightsabers.

The first half of the video is already done, but the project has stagnated there. We need someone to do the heavy lifting of the early editing process. E.G. Assembly, cutting the A-Reel down to the best line-reads, and adding appropriate B-Reel over the footage. All footage, sorted and labeled, will be provided via Dropbox. Based on the script, we anticipate a runtime of about 30 minutes for the portion you'll be editing
I'll also provide the existing project file for your reference.

You'll be trying to match the general editing style/pace of the channel, so watching some of our existing videos will be important. As the channel owner, I'll be doing the final-pass edit myself, E.G. music, graphics, text, gag editing, sfx, & spfx.

Please reach out with examples of prior work of this sort, or anything you think reflects your skillset well.

Thanks so much!

We are a beverage marketing agency that is creating a tour video that shows the entire wine harvest process all the way from grape growing until the wine is in the glass. We are utilizing half of a previous project's cut/footage(which I will provide the project file) along with new footage recently shot. We are looking for someone who can take a lot of footage(about 4TB) and make something cohesive and easy to consume as a story.

Most of the footage was shot on RED and Sony, with some drone from a Inspire 3 as well as a Mavic 3 Cine. We have a colorist, but would want someone who can general work with a LUT and do basic balancing so the drafts are presentable to client.

Rate listed will require 3 rounds of notes, and then the project will be passed on to our colorist, who will then make any final changes and export out all masters. Please provide a demo reel of your work to be considered for the job!
