Science Podcast Video Production

Job ID: 40538168

Budget: $15 – $25 USD

I'm looking for a talented video editor to help create a bi-weekly video podcast for YouTube. The podcast will feature engaging male and female hosts discussing science topics based on a provided script.

Requirements:
- Edit 30-45 minute episodes
- Casual and informal production style with a studio look that feels professional yet conversational
- Add graphics, transitions, and background music as needed
- Assist with sourcing licensed music or creating a similar sound to Stillwater's "Mind Bender" (1977)
_Additional Information:Based on the document's word count of approximately 6,256 words, here's the estimated runtime:
Estimated Episode Length: 42-50 minutes
This assumes:
130-150 words per minute speaking pace (typical conversational podcast rate)
Natural pauses for comedic timing and reactions between Toney and Sara
Built-in emphasis on key concepts and punchlines
The breakdown:
At 150 wpm (faster): ~42 minutes
At 140 wpm (conversational): ~45 minutes
At 130 wpm (slower, with more pauses): ~48 minutes
Since this is dialogue-heavy with comedic exchanges, back-and-forth reactions, and moments designed for laughs, I'd estimate the realistic runtime closer to 45-50 minutes once you factor in natural speaking rhythm and timing beats. This fits nicely into the long-form podcast sweet spot.

Ideal Skills:
- Experience with video editing software (e.g., Adobe Premiere Pro, Final Cut Pro)
- Ability to create engaging, dynamic video content
- Strong understanding of pacing and flow for conversational formats
- Previous experience with podcasts or YouTube content is a plus

Looking forward to your bids!
