Music video editor

Posted in: The Job Lot
I’m specifically looking for someone that really wants to do this full time and has the foresight to do this with me the way I’m doing it. I have normal jobs that are $500~/edit a vid and I have a single priority artist who I’m doing some free vids for, the artist is famous and has been featured on 2 billboard number 1’s. He’s looking for viral vids, I’m looking at it as an opportunity to launch my music video directing career. He’s fine with them coming out great, needless to say. He has helped me get to the point that I’m at in my career so I’m trying to help him take his solo career to the next level by making sure he has top quality vids for a bunch of songs on his new cd. I run another company he helps me with. Email me for more info, include samples of work.

If I pick you out I will keep the money coming on the regular vids for the indie and up and coming artists as long as the work is coming out good. You keep me going with the big artist and in no time I will be paying you much more. I will need someone that can provide weekly turnarounds, sometimes even 2-3 day turnarounds. I’m looking for someone that can build with me and is looking to build a career doing this. I have a couple jobs @ $500/edit ready right now and a couple vids for the priority artist. If I even have one really great video hit with the big artist and can bring in the business to really pay you well, I will. I’m not looking for anyone that will forever do $500 vids, absolutely not. The quicker I can get bumped up to the next price range the better. I’m just working with what I have. Thanks for your time.

dajavu@gmail.com

edit: I also am shooting his vids with a crew that is helping me get going that I use on my normal shoots. I spend a ton of time learning and am not working with crap. The priority artist is also providing great visuals for lots of these vids.
