Music video for a professionally recorded cover songUrgent

Video Editor is needed in Melbourne, Australia.

Film and edit a polished, cinematic music video for a professionally recorded 4-minute cover song. This is a personal, non-commercial YouTube release, with the completed audio track supplied.

Capture outdoor performance/lip-sync footage at suitable Melbourne locations, along with natural scenic B-roll and optional intimate studio or microphone performance shots. The visual direction should feel warm, elegant and natural, with the vocal performance remaining the central focus.

Edit footage in sync with the final audio, including cinematic colour grading, clean transitions, simple opening titles/credits, and an ending that gradually blurs the outdoor image before fading to black and production credits. Deliver a high-quality YouTube-ready export.

Filming and final delivery are needed within approximately one week, with limited flexibility. Creative input on locations, framing, shot design and overall visual approach is welcome.

Budget range:
Very small project ($250 – 750 USD)

Examples:
I don’t have a specific video I want to copy. I’m looking for a simple, elegant and cinematic music video with the vocal performance as the main focus.

The visual style I have in mind is warm, natural and polished — beautiful outdoor/nature cinematography combined with intimate studio/microphone performance shots. I’m also very open to the filmmaker bringing their own creative ideas and visual style.

About the client
I’m an independent artist based in Melbourne working on a personal, non-commercial cover of a classic song. The audio recording and music production are being completed professionally, and I’m now looking for a Melbourne-based videographer/filmmaker to create a polished cinematic music video. This is a passion project rather than a commercial production. I have a clear overall direction but I’m very open to the filmmaker’s creative input and would like this to be a collaborative process.
