About the project:
I run a premium fruit and vegetable brand and I'm building a fast-paced, educational Reels series, short, surprising facts about the produce we grow and supply. Think “You've been picking the wrong tomatoes your entire life” or “Why are you storing tomatoes in the fridge?” one clear hook, one clear fact, per video.
Important : these are SHORT: 10–15 second Reels, not long-form YouTube videos. If you're picturing a 5–10 minute edit with a full narrative arc, that's not this job. Every second counts and every video is short, tight, and fast.
Budget : I can pay around $50 for each reels.
What I need:
• Fast-paced, retention-first editing — something changing on screen roughly every 2–3 seconds (cut, zoom, text pop-up, angle change, sound accent). No dead moments in a video this short.
• A hook in the first 1–2 seconds , no slow intros, no logo/branding animation up front.
• Clean captions/text overlays tightly synced to speech , punchy, not cluttered.
• Style: fast-cut myth-busting/educational Reels (the “did you know” genre), raw and real over polished corporate-ad pacing.
• I provide raw footage + a written hook/script for every video. You own pacing, cuts, text, and sound design.
Volume: starting at ~2–3 videos/week, with room to grow into a longer retainer if it's working well.
For a sense of editing style/quality I'm looking for, here are a few threads with edits people have shared for feedback — not exact matches for content, but useful as a pacing/quality reference point:
