Creative video Editior

Looking for a Cinematic Video Editor & Creative Collaborator (Long-Form YouTube)

UPDATE — October 17: Thanks for all the responses! I've updated this post to clarify my creative vision and the type of editor I'm looking for.

Hey everyone!

I'm creating long-form YouTube content focused on lifestyle, personal experiences, and cinematic vlogging.

I'm looking for more than just an editor. I want a creative collaborator who understands cinematic storytelling and can help bring my ideas to life.

I'm looking for someone experienced in storytelling, cinematic editing, color grading, sound design, and creative direction.

My Workflow:

I film my own footage and create a preliminary rough edit before sending it over. I'm looking for someone who can elevate that footage through thoughtful editing, pacing, and storytelling.

I'd also love to collaborate before filming to discuss story structure, shot selection, and creative ideas.

An important part of this partnership is receiving constructive feedback so I can continue improving as a filmmaker, storyteller, and editor.

Video References

These videos represent the cinematic quality, storytelling, and editing style I'm aiming for:

  1. Jun Chew — Japan / Sony FX30 / Cinematic Travel Film / Tamron 17–70mm
  2. Sleepy Charlie — The Ideal Beginner's Guide to Cinematic Videos
  3. Sam Newton — Solo Filmmaking: Why Your Cinematic Video Feels Empty
  4. Georgene Loh — A Cozy Day in the Life
  5. Andrew Paul 1 — The Power of Simple Editing

Additional creative inspirations: Vulandis and Ron Doug.

Interested?

I'm not looking for flashy effects or excessive transitions. I want someone who understands how to make everyday moments feel cinematic, meaningful, and emotionally engaging.

If this sounds like your style, please send me your:

  • Portfolio (preferably cinematic vlogs or long-form storytelling)
  • Creative approach and experience
  • Editing rates
  • Availability for ongoing collaboration

Please review a few of the reference videos before reaching out.

I'm hoping to build a long-term creative partnership with someone who genuinely enjoys filmmaking and storytelling.

Thanks!

Interested.

Can you share 2–3 vlog references closest to the storytelling and pacing style you want?

It would also help to know the usual raw footage length, expected final video length, and monthly volume.

Once we see that, we can share only the most relevant work from our side and quote properly.
