I have a 13-minute talking-head recording that needs to become a crisp, story-driven documentary piece running no longer than 10 minutes. The aim is to educate the audience, so every cut should sharpen the narrative and keep viewers engaged from open to close. Here’s what I need from you: • Narrative & assembly: trim filler, tighten pacing, and shape a clear beginning–middle–end arc. • Motion design: bold, vibrant animated text for key ideas, plus clean graphs and charts that reinforce the data without overwhelming the frame. Subtle, modern transitions should glue it all together. • Post-production polish: broadcast-quality colour grading, balanced audio, and gentle noise reduction so the final piece feels premium on any platform. Deliverables 1. 1080p master export (H.264) 2. Original editable project file in Premiere Pro, DaVinci Resolve, or After Effects (your choice) You’ll receive the raw A-roll, any B-roll or reference material I have, and a rough outline of the desired flow. If your portfolio shows sleek, educational edits with confident data animation, I’d love to see it.

A crisp, story‑driven documentary video under 10 minutes that educates the audience. I have delivered multiple broadcast‑quality documentary edits with bold animated text and data visualizations using Premiere Pro and After Effects for educational clients. The toughest part is trimming the A‑roll while weaving in motion graphics that reinforce data without distracting from the narrative. I’ll keep transitions subtle and colour grading consistent so the piece feels premium across platforms. I’ll revise until the story flows perfectly, stay responsive, and make adjustments as we go.

Hi, This is a strong fit. You already have the A-roll, B-roll/reference material and rough flow, so the focus should be on tightening the narrative and making the 7–10 minute piece feel like a polished documentary rather than a heavily edited talking-head video. We can handle: • Restructuring the 13-minute recording into a clear beginning–middle–end arc • Removing filler, repetition and weak pauses while keeping delivery natural • Bold animated typography for key ideas • Clean graphs, charts and data-driven motion graphics • Supporting B-roll placement where it strengthens the explanation • Subtle modern transitions without visual clutter • Broadcast-style colour grading • Dialogue cleanup, noise reduction and balanced audio • 1080p H.264 master • Organised Premiere Pro / After Effects / DaVinci Resolve project files We’ve completed 4,000+ projects across documentary-style edits, educational content, motion graphics and post-production, including work involving DJI, Red Bull, BMW Sports and CHANEL. Share the 13-minute recording plus 1–2 references for the motion/design style. After checking them, we can send the closest relevant samples and discuss the final budget in DM. Civati
