YouTube Video Editor – 20 Min Long-Form (Minimalist Stick Figure Style)

I’m hiring an intermediate YouTube editor for a long-form (~3,000 words / 19–24 min) psychological authority-style video.

This is NOT a fast-cut, high-energy YouTube edit.

The tone is:

• Minimalist

• Controlled

• Atmospheric

• Intellectually heavy

• Calm but tense

Visual style will be stick-figure based, symbolic, and abstract — not cinematic live-action footage.

Think: clean black/neutral backgrounds, simple figures, subtle movement, strong atmosphere.

⸻

Scope of Work

• Generate high-quality AI voiceover (ElevenLabs or similar – natural, human tone)

• Edit full 18–22 minute video

• Use 10–15 strong minimalist stick-figure compositions

• Slow, subtle zoom/pan movement (Ken Burns style)

• Layer atmospheric sound design (ambient drones, subtle tension beds)

• Clean, minimal typography (no flashy kinetic text)

• Export final video in 4K (3840x2160)

Visuals must feel intentional and restrained — not cartoonish, not comedic.

Stick figures should feel universal and symbolic, not playful.

What I’m Looking For

You must be comfortable with:

• Long-form pacing (20 minutes)

• Letting shots breathe (20–40 seconds when appropriate)

• Subtle camera motion

• Strong sound layering and audio leveling

• Minimalist composition

If your style is heavy motion graphics, loud transitions, or rapid cutting — this is not the right fit.

Budget

$200 fixed price

Potential for ongoing work if this goes well.

⸻

Turnaround

3–4 days max after script delivery.

⸻

To Apply

1. Share 1–2 long-form minimalist or documentary-style edits.

2. Confirm experience generating natural AI voiceover.

3. Briefly describe how you would approach pacing for a 20-minute psychological essay with stick figures.
