Cinematic Premiere Event Edit - 01/09/2025 17:03 EDT - 01/09/2025 17:10 EDT

I have several hours of raw, handheld footage from a recent movie-premiere soirée—guest arrivals, crowd reactions in the theatre, and a lively after-party. The material isn’t pristine, so I need an editor who can elevate it into a dramatic, cinematic story.

Here’s the shape of the project. First, a full cut of roughly one hour that flows chronologically: red-carpet ambience, select audience moments during and right after the screening, then a strong finish at the after-party. Second, a punchy highlight reel crafted mainly from the after-party footage, perfect for social channels.

Core work involved
• Colour-correct and grade every shot so different cameras and lighting setups feel cohesive and filmic.
• Clean, balance, and sweeten the audio—wind rumble, crowd chatter, mic hiss, anything distracting.
• Weave in a mix of music I’ll supply along with tracks you choose to match mood shifts.
• Insert a handful of longer sequences (e.g., speeches, Q&A snippets) without breaking pacing.

Deliverables
• One polished ~60-minute master file (1080p MP4 or ProRes—let me know your preferred workflow).
• One shorter highlight cut (2–3 min) optimised for social upload.

I value creative judgement, smooth narrative flow, and meticulous attention to colour and sound. If you can turn imperfect source footage into a sleek premiere recap, let’s talk timing and get started.
