• Problem Solve Creatively: Bring fresh ideas to the table and find solutions to make every edit stronger.
• Optimize for Platforms: Understand how to tailor content for different social platforms to ensure maximum reach and engagement.

Who You Are
• A Short-Form Expert: You know exactly what makes people stop and watch.
• Fast & Fearless: You can turn around high-quality edits quickly without sacrificing creativity.
• Obsessed with Storytelling: Even in 15-60 seconds, you can craft a narrative that hooks people.
• A Creative Problem Solver: You don’t just follow briefs—you elevate them.
• Always Learning & Experimenting: You study trends, analyze viral content, and constantly test new techniques.
• Detail-Oriented: Every frame, transition, and sound effect matters to you.
