ATTENTION: Specifically seeking a director for editing wedding documentary videos. Not looking for clip makers, AE template editors, short form directors, social media ad creators, etc. This involves working with a very large volume of video (hours), resulting in the creation of an edited documentary wedding video lasting an hour (timeline example attached to the task). Will consider proposals from those with relevant work examples and experience. If you do not have relevant work examples, I would like you to complete a test task (free of charge) with a set of classic editing situations in wedding documentary video to assess your level. Will not consider proposals if you do not start your proposal message with the words "read everything."
Order budget specified for editing the dance part of the wedding, which is the easiest part of the wedding, although it can last hours. If you can handle the dances, we can move forward. Estimated total budget for the wedding project is 3000 - 10000.
Editing environment: Edius (skills assessment test can be done in Premiere Pro).
