竞赛简介
I am a guitar educator and independent music genre researcher travelling through Latin America creating guitar lesson material based on video recordings with traditional musicians. These will form a large part of a unique world music guitar education website with interactive guitar notation.
I am looking for a long-term partner to these edit videos and help them to reach as wide an audience as possible. This contest will act as a demo so if you can impress here there will be more work to come. Any video promotion knowledge would also be a big plus.

<--- Raw Material --->
I have two shots for a performance of Buena Vista Social Club's 'Cuarto de Tula' in the street with a group of musicians in Santiago de Cuba.
- from the left with a Galaxy Note 4 smartphone (1920x1080)
- from the right with a GoPro (1280x720)

------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I am looking for the following:
- Multi-take edit the videos together in audio and video sync (please keep as much video and audio quality as possible)
- Switch, zoom, pan etc to emphasise best parts of the performance (suggested timing below). Try to be in sync with musical beats and changes, or be more subtle.
- Use any cutting edge techniques at your disposal to make the video appeal to a wide audience.
- Manage and mix the 2 audio tracks to maintain the highest possible quality and act as an effect when switching cameras.
- Leave blank screen at the end so that Youtube end screen links can be placed over it (or if you specialise in online video marketing, make suggestions as to how it can be best prepared).
<<<-- Edit Guidelines (times per Galaxy shot) -->>>
The audio/video sync accuracy is key. There's no clap so it may be best to use the most prominent actions of the percussionist.
The GoPro will be especially good for emphasising the important percussion hits below that mark changes in song sections.
0:25 | The video should begin with the lead singer's count-off (tres, y…)
0:48 | Percussion hit into verse 1
0:58~1:09 | Percussionist focus (special emphasis on the action on 1:09)
1:05 Wolf whistling would be nice to focus on too
1:19 | Quick switch to percussion hit
1:20-1:39 | Zoom to tres guitar solo (Important transition: I'd like drama, tension, momentum to be built here, then released into the final section)
1:40 | Percussion hit
1:51-2:01 | Percussion
2:10 | Need something to emphasise and dramatise the drop into the chorus here. Perhaps a zoom in to bring attention to my head movement and lead singer freezing, then at 2:11 switch (and zoom?) to percussion strike into chorus
2:20 | Percussionist action
2:50-3:07 | Percussionist notices that somebody is about to walk in front of the camera and tries to stop him but it doesn't work. I want the humour of this part to be brought out.
3:06 But... try to edit away from my awkward face in some way (the laughing before is ok) :)
3:20 Zoom into tres guitar lead (would be nice to keep in/pan out to me dancing with the lead singer on 3:49, then zooming further out as the percussionist builds momentum back into chorus)
4:13 Percussionist
4:59 Percussionist
5:02 Lead singer raises his hand
5:03 Zoom into my ascending chords
5:14 Switch to GoPro to focus on percussionist continuing and whistling whilst everyone has stopped, and me laughing
5:36 End here (last thing should be bassist saying 'eso').
I'm looking forward to seeing some great entries. Thanks for your efforts.

“I was looking for a music video edit that maintained the overall flow of the performance whilst highlighting the best moments with some tasteful but eyecatching effects. ReeSee provided exactly that and exceeded my expectations. He was very forthcoming, professional and timely with further edit requests and went the extra mile. I would highly recommend this freelancer.”
