Video Editor Competition (paid, freelance)

We are remaking the hero video on agency.dropzerodigital.com and we are doing it as a paid competition.

How it works. 1. You apply with your portfolio, proof that the work is yours, and a short Loom. 2. We review every portfolio ourselves and shortlist about 7 editors. 3. Each shortlisted editor is paid 75 USD for a 15 second test, whether or not they win. 4. One winner makes the full 1 minute video and is paid 700 USD. 5. The full video includes 2 rounds of revisions.

What you will make. The hero video for our agency site. Reference: our current reel https://dropzerodigital.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/240217_SIZZLE-REEL_DROP-ZERO-DIGITAL-2024-MP4-1.mp4 . Shortlisted editors get the brief and assets for the test.

What this is. Freelance, paid project work. It is not employment.

Fees. 75 USD per test (shortlisted editors only). 700 USD for the full video (winner only).
