About

I am seeking an experienced editor/VFX/sound artist to complete a polish pass on a short film (2 minutes 50 seconds runtime). The rough cut is fully assembled in DaVinci Resolve, and a detailed, time-coded polish notes document is provided (~5 pages). Scope of Work: Visual polish: color correction, compositing fixes, matching elements to scene. VFX: tether sequence, masking, fades, subtle refinements. Audio polish: remove/replace AI sound errors, add intentional and artistic music cues, smooth transitions, mix and balance. Deliverables: MP4 (reference), ProRes 422 HQ (festival-ready master), and updated Resolve project file (.drp). Important: Fixed-price only. Hourly work is not accepted for this project. This is a finite runtime project (2m50s) with clearly defined polish notes. Must be available to start immediately. Please confirm your availability and proposed turnaround time in your response. I will provide a copy of the rough cut and the PDF of polish notes for you to review before submitting your proposal. What I'm looking for: An artistic sensibility — not just technical polish, but purposeful creative choices that enhance tension and emotion. Reliability, communication, and the ability to follow a detailed brief. Festival-ready quality polish. Next Step: Please request Rough Cut and Polish notes, then propose your fixed-price quote for completing this polish pass.
