Cinematic Travel Vlog Editor

Job ID: 40549289

Budget: $250 – $750 AUD

I have about five hours of raw footage from a three-day trip through Japan and I need it shaped into a 20–30 minute YouTube episode that feels cinematic and dramatic from first frame to last. The storyline leans heavily on my personal experiences and interactions, so pacing, dialogue balance, and a strong sense of narrative flow in English are critical.

I picture tasteful colour grading, smooth but purposeful transitions, and modern, upbeat music beds that lift the energy without overpowering the visuals. B-roll, sound design, and any lower-thirds or light motion graphics should all serve the story rather than distract from it.

For this first project the concrete deliverables are:
• A 20–30 minute mastered 4K file ready for YouTube (intro, main story, outro and end screen included)
• One revision round after initial delivery for tweaks on timing, music or graphics
• A simple timestamped change log so we stay organised

If we click on this Japan vlog, I’ll have weekly vlogs coming in and would love to build a long-term collaboration where you eventually help set the visual language of the channel.
