Cinematic Short-Form Video Editor Needed (Food Brand)
I run a smashburger food truck brand creating scroll-stopping cinematic social content that blends premium food commercials with viral street footage.
I’m looking for a high-level editor who understands pacing, impact moments, and brand storytelling — not someone relying on templates or gimmicks.
The goal: create short-form videos people watch twice.
If you can make cheese melts feel dramatic and smash moments feel powerful, this project is for you.
Scope of Work
Edit short-form vertical content for Instagram, TikTok, and Facebook:
- Grill action, smash moments, cheese melt, fry drops
- Customer reactions and interaction moments
- Brand-style reels and promos
- Music-driven pacing and clean transitions
- Impact edits (smash, flip, bite, steam release)
- Crisp, high-contrast cinematic color
- Subtle text overlays where needed
Compensation: $30 per finished reel (15–30 seconds), with opportunity for ongoing work.
Style Direction
Premium food commercial × street-level energy
Focus on texture, heat, motion, anticipation, and payoff moments.
Avoid heavy filters, gimmicks, and generic TikTok edits.
Ideal Candidate
- Strong Reels / TikTok editing experience
- Skilled with tasteful overlays and lightweight motion templates that enhance impact moments without looking “template-driven.”
- Excellent pacing and rhythm instincts
- Skilled at highlighting food texture and detail
- Clean cinematic grading style
- Understands hooks, retention, and replay value
Bonus: food, restaurant, street-food, or lifestyle brand work
Deliverables
Typical edits:
- 15–30 second vertical reels
- promotional clips
- recurring branded formats
