Cinematic Style Interview Clip Editing

Job ID: 40078791

Budget: $30 – $250 USD

Premium Video Edit: 3-Minute High-quality Interview Clip (Cinematic Style)

Project Overview
I need a high-end edit of a 3-minute high-quality clip featuring an interview with a data and AI executive at a well-known entertainment brand (with previous leadership roles at FanDuel, Google, Amazon, and Microsoft). The raw footage is already high quality with a cinematic grade — this is about elevating it, not rescuing it.

The Clip
Title: "AI's Hidden Weakness: The Data Quality Problem"
Duration: ~3 minutes
Source footage: High-quality in-person podcast recording (will provide full episode file)

Creative Direction
This is a premium piece, not short-form social content. It should breathe and feel cinematic.

Visuals: Fewer, more impactful edits — let the content and cinematography do the work. I'm looking for someone who can identify natural visual hooks in the narrative and reinforce them with the right techniques without overproducing. Stock footage and/or motion graphics welcome if executed well.

Audio: If you can nail a subtle Hans Zimmer-lite corporate epic underscore, go for it. But I'd rather have no music than music that doesn't land. Silence and good pacing can be more powerful than a mediocre track.

Subtitles: Simple and elegant styling.

Ideal Candidate
Strong portfolio showing cinematic/documentary-style editing
Understands restraint and premium pacing
Comfortable recommending creative direction, not just executing instructions
