Cinematic Reels & Thumbnails

Job ID: 40158926

Budget: $15 – $25 USD

I have a collection of raw clips that need to be transformed into eye-catching Instagram Reels with a distinctly cinematic feel. The final edit should flow like a short film, using dramatic pacing, colour grading and tasteful effects rather than fast, flashy cuts. Alongside each reel, I also need a scroll-stopping thumbnail that hints at the story inside and an on-brand logo splash to open or close the video.

Here’s what I’d like back from you:
• 30- to 60-second reel(s) edited in a cinematic style (full-HD or higher, ready for vertical posting).
• One custom thumbnail per reel, sized for Instagram’s feed and Reels tab.
• A brief, polished logo animation or static slate that sits naturally in the project’s overall tone.

Feel free to work in Adobe Premiere Pro, Final Cut Pro, DaVinci Resolve or any editor you’re comfortable with—as long as the final export meets Instagram’s specs and keeps colours true across devices. Music, text overlays and light sound design are welcome where they enhance the cinematic mood; just keep licensing in mind.

Send me a sample or portfolio link that shows you can grade, pace and build atmosphere. Once we agree on the creative direction I’ll share footage via cloud link, and we can organise feedback rounds to lock picture before the finishing touches go on.

I’m ready to start as soon as I find the right fit and will turn feedback quickly so we can keep momentum.
