Video Editor Needed – 90s Home Video / Camcorder Style (Fashion/Jewelry Brand)

We’re looking for a video editor with strong taste to edit a short-form video for a jewelry brand campaign.

This project is centered around a “by the beach” concept—quiet beach moments, friendship, and noticing small, meaningful details.

Concept

A woman at the beach speaking directly to her friend, as if:

• she’s on FaceTime
• or recording a personal home video

Dialogue is casual and conversational (e.g. “are you gonna be late again?”)

We’ll intercut this with

• beach textures (water, sand, movement)
• candid walking moments
• close-ups of jewelry (necklace, earrings)

The final video should feel like a real memory, not an ad.

Editing Style

We’re looking for a blend of

• 90s home video / camcorder aesthetic
• modern, mobile-native pacing

Key direction

• Natural, unscripted feel
• Slight grain/texture (subtle, not heavy)
• Simple cuts (no over-editing)
• Let moments breathe

Avoid

• Overuse of VHS effects or glitches
• Trendy/social-heavy edits
• Anything that feels overly polished or commercial

Deliverables

• 1 x primary video (15–30 seconds)
• Vertical format (9:16)
• Potential for additional cutdowns if this goes well

Footage Provided

• Talent speaking directly to camera
• Beach lifestyle footage
• Product close-ups
• Environmental shots (water, sand, light)

What We’re Looking For

• Strong editorial judgment (most important)
• Experience with lo-fi / nostalgic editing
• Ability to create something that feels personal and emotionally grounded

To Apply

Please include

• 2–3 relevant samples (especially lo-fi, nostalgic, or lifestyle work)
• A quick note on how you’d approach this style

Note: We care more about restraint and storytelling than effects. The goal is something that feels real and lived-in.
