Editor wanted: 3-week Europe family trip → one reel + one keepsake film

We just finished three weeks through Europe and came home with several hundred photos and video clips. I'm looking for someone to watch all of it, find the moments worth keeping, and build two films. **Deliverables** 1. 60–90 second vertical (9:16) reel for Instagram 2. 3–5 minute film we'll keep and rewatch (can evaluate footage to decide whether horizontal or vertical is better, horizontal preferred for this) These are equally important to me and they are **two separate edits, not one edit and a trim.** The reel needs its own selection pass, see the note on kids below. **What I'm actually paying for** The selection, not the effects. I want someone who will genuinely watch the footage and find the two seconds inside a forty-second clip where something real happens. Pacing that breathes. No trend templates, no aggressive hook formats, no auto-captions. These should feel like films, not content. For the reel, my children's faces should not feature prominently. They can appear more properly in the private long-form film. With fast cuts or side angles where you can't see the faces clearly it's fine, or even with a sticker over a face if needed that's fine, but generally not focusing on their faces. Please account for this in your quote; it's a genuine second edit, not a filter on the first. **Reference** I'll share 2–3 reels I've cut myself for reference, but happy to see any work you've done to understand your style. **Logistics** - Footage delivered via Dropbox, organized by day, original quality - Sources are mostly: iPhone video and stills, as well as some professional photos from one stop - I'll include a folder of my own favorites as a starting point, not a constraint - Music: licensed, your recommendation welcome - NDA required. Footage to be deleted after final delivery and not used in your portfolio without my written permission. **Timeline** Rough cuts of both within 1-2 weeks, then revisions. Not a rush job, I'd rather it be good. **To apply, please send** 1. One or two examples where you did the selection yourself from raw client footage (not a supplied cut list) 2. Roughly how many hours you'd spend reviewing before you start cutting 3. Your quote for both deliverables including two rounds of revisions Happy to pay for a short test on one day's footage before committing to the full project.
