Video editor to create Emotional Team Highlight Video (Photos, Interviews, Competition Footage)

We are looking for a video editor to create a polished, emotional end-of-season highlight video for a youth team (35 athletes).

We have a mix of:
• Photos from throughout the season
• Competition videos
• Short interview clips with athletes
• A special cameo video from Olympic gymnast

The goal is to create a cohesive, engaging “highlight film” (not just a slideshow) that captures the team’s journey, including fun moments, challenges, and achievements.

⸻

Project Scope:
• Compile and edit mixed media (photos + videos + interviews)
• Add music, transitions, and pacing appropriate for a live banquet audience
• Incorporate interview clips naturally into the story
• Audio editing for voice overs
• Feature the cameo in a meaningful moment
• Deliver a final video suitable for presentation (10 minutes preferred)

⸻

Style Direction:
• Emotional, celebratory, team-focused
• Clean and modern (not overly cheesy or templated)
• Good pacing — avoid overly long or repetitive sections
• Build toward a strong ending

⸻

Assets Provided:
• Google Drive folder with all media
• Basic outline of key moments and priorities
• Optional guidance on sequencing

⸻

Deliverables:
• Final video file (1080p minimum)
• One round of revisions included
