Im shooting my first film on June 5th and will have roughly 1.5 hours of 4K footage ready for post-production right after. I’m looking for a single editor–VFX artist who can take the raw material all the way to a polished, dark-and-gritty cinematic picture. The job in a nutshell • Full narrative edit: assemble, pace, and tighten the story into a final 90-minute cut. • Cinematic grade: colour-correct and grade for a rich, contrasty look that feels theatrical, not video. • Title branding: create a short animated production logo that rolls before the opening credits. • Visual effects: layer in lens flares, smoke, and extensive blood work (gun flare, mist, splatter) wherever scripted. Practical plates will be provided; I’ll count on you for compositing and enhancement. I shoot on Blackmagic, so an Adobe Premiere Pro / DaVinci Resolve + After Effects workflow would be ideal, but I’m open if you can deliver the same quality in another pipeline. Audio stems and music will be supplied; simple balancing and placement within the timeline is all that’s required. Delivery expectations 1. Locked picture for review. 2. Final master (ProRes 4444 + h.264). 3. Separate rendered VFX shots and the animated logo as standalone assets. Timeline: first rough cut three weeks after footage hand-off, final master two weeks later—though let’s discuss what’s realistic once you see the material. If this end-to-end approach fits your skill set, I’d love to see samples of previous feature-length work, especially anything with stylised blood or atmospheric effects.

Hi there, I’ve read No Way Out and I’m confident I can guide your raw 1.5 hours of 4K into a tightly paced 90-minute, dark-and-gritty cinematic cut. I specialize in end-to-end narrative editing, cinematic color grading, and VFX that enhances mood without overpowering the story. With a background in complex genre projects and feature-ready pipelines, I’ll manage a seamless workflow across Premiere Pro, DaVinci Resolve, and After Effects, delivering a polished finish with a theatrical look that feels grounded and tense. My approach: start with a strong editorial structure to emphasize pace and character arcs, then color-grade for deep contrast and filmic skin tones, and layer practical plates with polished VFX (lens flares, smoke, blood work) to support the script. I’ll also craft a concise animated production logo that plays before the opening credits and ensure the audio mix sits cleanly under your stems and music. Proposed timeline: rough cut within three weeks of footage hand-off, final master two weeks after that, with two optional review milestones. Deliverables include the locked picture for review, the final ProRes 4444 master plus a high-quality H.264, and separate rendered VFX shots and the logo as standalone assets. If you’d like to discuss a short proof edit or test sequence to validate the look and workflow, I’m happy to accommodate. Let’s align on the exact scope and any venue-specific delivery specs.

Hi there, Taking 1.5 hours of raw 4K footage and shaping it into a dark, gritty 90 minute film with cohesive storytelling and convincing VFX is exactly the kind of end to end work I focus on. From your brief, it’s clear you want more than an editor, you need someone who can carry the tone, pacing, and visual intensity all the way through. I’ll start by building a strong narrative cut, tightening pacing and structure so the story flows naturally. My first focus will be assembling a clean rough cut, then moving into cinematic color grading for that rich, contrasty look, followed by integrating VFX like blood work, smoke, and flares in a way that feels grounded and not overdone. I’ve worked on cinematic edits and VFX driven projects where mood, realism, and storytelling had to align perfectly. That experience helps me balance editing, grading, and effects so the final film feels intentional, immersive, and consistent from start to finish. If this sounds like the direction you’re aiming for, I’d be happy to share relevant samples of similar work, including VFX heavy scenes on chat. I can also review your footage sample and confirm a realistic timeline for the rough cut and final delivery so we can move forward smoothly.

I’m well-suited for this project because I can handle the full pipeline—from raw footage to a polished, cinematic final—while staying true to your dark, gritty vision. I approach editing as storytelling first. I’ll shape your 1.5 hours of footage into a tight, engaging 90-minute narrative, focusing on pacing, tension, and emotional impact. My workflow ensures clean structure early (rough cut within 3 weeks), followed by refinement into a locked picture. On the visual side, I’m experienced with cinematic color grading—building contrast, depth, and mood so the film feels theatrical, not digital. I also have strong VFX capability: compositing blood effects (mist, splatter, gun flare), integrating smoke and atmosphere, and enhancing practical plates so everything feels grounded and realistic, not overdone. I’ll also create a custom animated production logo that matches your film’s tone, giving the project a cohesive identity from the very start.

Hi there! Congratulations on your first film—that’s an exciting milestone, and I’d be glad to help shape it into a polished final piece. This sounds like a strong creative project that needs careful attention across editing, cinematic grading, and VFX so the final result feels cohesive, dark, and emotionally grounded. My focus would be on building a tight narrative flow from your raw footage, enhancing the Blackmagic visuals with a rich theatrical look, and integrating effects like blood work, smoke, and atmospheric elements in a way that supports the story rather than overwhelms it. The animated production logo, clean pacing, and polished finishing would also be approached with consistency so the entire film feels intentional from the first frame to the last. Your timeline sounds workable with the right workflow, and having practical plates plus provided audio will help keep post-production focused and efficient. It sounds like a creatively ambitious first project, and I’d be happy to help bring that vision together with care and professionalism. Thanks & Best Regards
