I will hand over every shot from our daughter’s Sweet 16, all captured in 4K on Sony cameras with clean audio from a shotgun mic. What I need back is a single, beautifully paced cinematic film that feels more like a short movie than an event recap. Here is what matters most to me: • Story-driven pacing and creative shot selection that bring out the excitement, emotion, and little details of the night. • Professional colour grading that delivers the rich, polished look you would expect from a feature-style production. • Seamless audio work—sync the shotgun-mic track, remove any distractions, and balance levels so dialogue and ambience sit comfortably under the score. • Royalty-free music that you source and licence; choose tracks that match the mood shifts throughout the piece (grand entrance, speeches, dancing, quiet moments). You will receive: - Multicam footage (mostly handheld and gimbal shots) straight from the Sony bodies. - A separate WAV from the shotgun mic. Final hand-off: 1. The fully edited film in H.264 (.mp4) at the original 4K resolution. 2. A second 1080p version ready for easy sharing. 3. The project file (Premiere Pro, Final Cut, or DaVinci Resolve—use whichever you prefer). If you love crafting cinematic stories and have a good ear for choosing the perfect track, I’d love to see examples of similar work you have finished recently.

4K Sony footage with shotgun mic audio is genuinely excellent raw material — and a Sweet 16 deserves an edit that honors the day for years to come. The key is cinematic pacing that feels like a film, not a home video, while keeping every special moment intact. I specialize in event and celebration video editing using Adobe Premiere Pro and DaVinci Resolve — creating beautifully paced cinematic cuts from 4K footage that families treasure for decades. What I'll deliver: → Cinematic story structure: opening, highlights, key moments, closing → 4K color grading — warm, vibrant, and timeless (not trendy filters) → Audio mastering: crystal-clear speeches, music beds, ambience → Slow-motion sequences at emotional peaks for maximum impact → Subtle motion graphics for names, date & venue titles → Full-length edit + 60-90 sec social highlight reel → Export: 4K master + 1080p web version Every shot from your Sony cameras will be reviewed — nothing important gets left on the cutting room floor. I can have a rough cut ready within 5 days for your review, with the final delivered by day 7. Roughly how many hours of footage are we working with, and do you have a preferred song or music style for the highlight reel?

Hey, Sweet 16 footage lives or dies on pacing, not effects. I’ve spent time around event films, and the hard part is making speeches, dancing, and quiet moments feel like one story. Pacing breaks when everything gets treated as coverage instead of scenes. For context, I shot and edited 3 cinematic wedding films with Avalon Wedding Photography, where the work was pacing real moments, music, colour, and clean audio into one film. If the first cut feels like an event recap instead of a short movie, I’ll rework the story pass free. I put together a quiick sample on the job and the cinematic pacing you're after. You wouldn't be opposed to me sending it over, would you? Cheers, Sam
