Lately I’ve been thinking if I should continue creating content again on YouTube, maybe focusing on horror stories or horror-related content. I’ve been planning it for a while but I’m still figuring out if I should fully commit or just treat it as a side creative outlet.
For now, I’m just exploring ideas and seeing what direction feels right, while also working on a few design and content experiments on the side.

Looking for a YouTube Editor for a New Channel
I’m looking for a video editor who can edit highly polished YouTube documentary/storytelling videos.
Before we start, I want to be clear: I’m not looking for basic editing with random stock footage and subtitles. I need someone who can take a voiceover, sourced footage, research, and references, then turn it into a strong documentary-style video with good pacing, tension, visuals, sound design, and attention to detail.
I will provide:
Video idea
Script/voiceover
Research and content sources
Footage/images where possible
Reference videos
Clear direction and feedback
The editor should be able to handle:
Documentary-style YouTube editing
Strong pacing and retention
Motion graphics
Map animations when needed
Sound design and music timing
Text callouts and visual emphasis
Archive footage/images/articles/maps
Visual storytelling that follows the voiceover closely
This is for a new channel, so I’m looking for someone who is honest about their skill level and can grow with the project. Quality matters more than quantity.
Before doing a full video, I’d like to start with a short paid test edit to see if the style matches.
Please apply with:
Your closest documentary/video essay examples
Your price for a 10–15 minute video
Your price for a 45–60 second paid test
Your turnaround time
What software you use
Whether you can do maps, motion graphics, and sound design
Please only apply if you can genuinely edit in this style. I don’t want to waste either of our time. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r9QOU_W7cWI https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jPxDQ6zjPpE

Lovely design
I design based on feeling, instinct, and emotion not trends. While social media becomes overly clean and repetitive, I believe design should feel expressive, bold, maximal, and personal.
