Reels Editor Needed — Ongoing Dog Training Content (Warm, Documentary Style)
Budget: $30 – $250 USD
I'm looking for a video editor to help produce 2-3 short Instagram Reels per week for my dog dance and movement training business in Chicago. This is a niche, relationship-focused brand with a specific voice and aesthetic — I need someone who can execute a vision, not generate one.
What you'll receive from me:
Raw footage (phone quality, real training sessions, real dogs)
A brief per Reel: which clips to use, what the point is, what emotion I want the viewer to feel, and rough text overlay notes
Caption copy written by me, ready to post
What I need from you:
A clean, warm edit that lets the footage breathe — think real and felt, not polished and produced. No flashy transitions, no aggressive jump cuts
Text overlay in my brand fonts and colors (hot pink and bright yellow, guidelines provided)
Accessible on-screen captions synced to any speech or voiceover
Export in correct dimensions for Instagram Reels (1080×1920)
Engagement structure:
I'm hiring for one month of content to start — approximately 10-12 Reels of 30-40 seconds each. Turnaround is flexible as long as we establish a working rhythm together. If the collaboration works well, I'm looking for an ongoing relationship.
What I don't need:
Stock footage — all content uses real footage I provide
Trending sounds selected by you — I will specify audio or approve before final export
Content ideas or strategy — that comes from me
Posting or scheduling — I handle that
Ideal fit:
You have experience editing animal or lifestyle content. You're comfortable with warm, documentary-style editing — think relationship over performance. You take direction well and ask clarifying questions rather than guessing. You can show me 2-3 examples of similar work before we start.
I'll begin with a paid test project of 2 Reels before committing to the full month.
