I'm building a long-term YouTube channel and I need one person who can turn my raw talking-head footage into short-form clips that perform. If you're that person, this becomes consistent, ongoing work — and when you've proven yourself, there's business content on the table too.
I create long-form YouTube vlogs — a mix of talking to camera and voiceover B-roll passages. My focus is entirely on making that content. Your job is to watch the raw A-roll, find the best moments, and turn them into short-form clips that stop people mid-scroll.
I'm not going to tell you which moments to clip or how to structure them. That's the job. The right person has the instinct to find what's worth watching and the skill to make it land on Reels, TikTok, and YouTube Shorts.
These two videos show you exactly the level and direction I'm after. Study them before you start. They are your reference for subtitle style, font positioning, pacing, and B-roll use.
These are references, not rules. You have full creative freedom on how you clip and structure the video. What I care about is that the end result performs — that it hooks, holds attention, and feels native to short-form.
Below is a raw A-roll video of me talking to camera. Watch the whole thing. Find the best 1–3 clips. Edit them into short-form content ready to post on Instagram Reels, TikTok, and YouTube Shorts (9:16, vertical).
You have full creative control. Choose which moments to clip, how to structure them, whether to add music, how to use B-roll, and how to hook the viewer in the first 2 seconds. There is no wrong answer as long as the result is something that performs.
B-roll is optional. If it adds to the story, use it. If the talking head is strong enough on its own, let it breathe. Don't add B-roll just to fill space.
Music is your call. If a track elevates the clip, add it. If it distracts, leave it out. Trust your instinct.
Use these as your baseline for subtitles and styling. Match the reference videos above where possible.
Instant disqualifiers: stock footage, subtitle typos, music louder than the voice, off-brand fonts or colors, and sending before you've proofed your own work.
Don't ask me questions before submitting. Make decisions. That's exactly what this role requires every single week.
Every submission gets posted — so even if you don't win the role, you walk away with real content on a real account. If you do win, you get paid for this reel and get the job. There's real upside here for the right person.
When you're confident — not before — submit your edit and fill out a few short questions via the form. Don't submit until it's done. This gets posted on my account — make it count.
Deadline: 48 hours from receiving this brief.
