Cinematic YouTube Editor for Alternate History Documentary Series

I need a talented video editor who can transform a meticulously crafted script and professional voiceover into a visually stunning 11-12 minute video that keeps viewers glued to the screen for my YouTube channel exploring alternate history scenarios with psychological thriller storytelling. This is NOT a typical talking-head YouTube video. Think: Johnny Harris meets Vox meets Christopher Nolan. What I provide: You'll receive a complete production package: ✅ Full script with scene-by-scene breakdown ✅ 14 voiceover segments (professional AI voice) ✅ Comprehensive editor brief (8 pages) ✅ Visual style references (specific YouTube channels) ✅ Technical specifications ✅ B-roll requirements list ✅ Clear direction for every scene You focus on execution. I've done the creative heavy lifting. What you'll create: CORE VISUAL STYLE: • Split-screen aesthetic throughout (actual timeline vs alternate timeline) • Color grading: Orange/Red (left) vs Cyan/Purple (right) • Lightning bolt transitions between realities • Fast cuts - maximum 3-4 seconds per shot • Motion graphics for data visualization • Cinematic B-roll sourcing and integration • Dramatic opening countdown sequence SPECIFIC DELIVERABLES: 1. Rough cut (50% completion) for pacing review 2. Refined edit with all graphics and color grading 3. Final export (1080p minimum, 4K preferred) 4. Project file (Premiere Pro or Final Cut Pro) Style references: Please watch these to understand the aesthetic I'm going for: 1. Johnny Harris → https://youtube.com/@johnnyharris → Fast pacing, split screens, map animations 2. Vox Explainers → https://youtube.com/@Vox → Clean graphics, information density 3. Aperture → https://youtube.com/@aperture → Philosophical tone, cinematic B-roll If you love these channels and can create similar work, you're perfect for this. Long Term Opportunity: This is Episode 1 of a planned series. If this collaboration works well: ✅ Regular work (1-2 videos per month) ✅ Long-term partnership as channel grows ✅ Potential revenue sharing as channel becomes profitable ✅ Creative input on future episodes I'm building something special and want a partner, not just a contractor.
