Cinematic Pickleball Promos - Website & Social Media

Drone Video Editor Required – Cinematic Promotional Videos for Website & Social Media

Project Overview

We are a busy outdoor pickleball facility in Australia.

We have a large collection of high-quality drone footage showing our pickleball courts from numerous angles, heights and perspectives.

We are looking for a talented and creative video editor to transform this footage into a series of visually impressive promotional videos for our website, Facebook and Instagram.

All footage has already been captured. No filming is required.

1. Social Media Promotional Videos – 5 Videos

We require five different promotional compilation videos, approximately 30 seconds each.

Each video should have its own creative style, incorporating different footage combinations, transitions, pacing and effects.

We are looking for:

* Cinematic transitions between drone angles.
* Speed ramping, slow motion and fast-paced sequences.
* Creative movement transitions and visual effects.
* Professional colour grading and colour enhancement.
* Different editing styles, speeds and visual treatments.
* Smooth sequencing that complements the drone movements.
* Music synchronisation and professionally timed cuts.
* A modern, energetic sports promotional aesthetic.

We want five genuinely different edits, not the same video with minor changes.

Required Social Media Formats:

* 9:16 vertical – Instagram and Facebook Reels.
* 4:5 vertical – Instagram and Facebook feed posts.
* High-quality, compressed MP4 files.
* Optimised for mobile viewing and social media uploads.

2. Website Hero Video – Desktop, Tablet & Mobile

We require a separate cinematic video designed to play as the background hero video on the homepage of our website.

The video should be approximately 8–15 seconds, with smooth, seamless looping where possible.

The website hero video must be supplied in three separately optimised formats:

Desktop Website

* 16:9 widescreen format.
* High visual quality suitable for larger computer screens.
* Optimised file size for fast loading.

Tablet Website

* A tablet-friendly composition suitable for responsive website layouts.
* Appropriate framing to ensure the courts remain clearly visible.
* Optimised for tablet screens in portrait or landscape orientation as appropriate.

Mobile Phone Website

* 9:16 vertical format.
* Specifically edited and reframed for mobile phone screens.
* Important visual elements must remain visible and not be cut off.
* Optimised for fast loading over mobile connections.

These should be purpose-edited versions, not simply the desktop video automatically cropped to fit smaller screens.

Website Video Requirements:

* Seamless looping where possible.
* Designed for autoplay without sound.
* No unnecessary text or graphics.
* Professional colour grading.
* Smooth playback across devices.
* Highly compressed without significant loss of visual quality.
* MP4 (H.264) format.
* Ideally a file size below approximately 5 MB per version, where achievable without compromising quality.

3. Original Footage & File Compression

Our original drone footage consists of large video files.

We will supply all the available footage via an appropriate file-sharing service.

The editor will need to review the material, select the strongest footage and create the final compilations.

All final videos must be professionally compressed and optimised for their intended platforms.

4. Creative Direction

Our brand is modern, energetic and sports-focused.

We want videos that showcase the scale, layout and appearance of our pickleball facility.

Our preferred style combines cinematic drone movements, creative transitions, varied playback speeds, professional colour grading and visually engaging editing.

Our branding features white, pink and blue. We can provide logos and brand assets where required.

We welcome creative input from the editor and are happy for them to experiment with different styles across the five social media videos.

However, the final videos should look professional and polished rather than overly artificial or excessively edited.

5. Final Deliverables

Social Media:

* 5 unique promotional videos, approximately 30 seconds each.
* Each supplied in 9:16 and 4:5 formats.
* Total: 10 social media video files.

Website:

* 1 cinematic hero video, approximately 8–15 seconds.
* Desktop version (16:9).
* Tablet-optimised version.
* Mobile phone version (9:16).
* Total: 3 website video files.

Total: 13 final video files.

6. Freelancer Requirements

We are looking for someone experienced in:

* Professional drone footage editing.
* Cinematic sports promotional videos.
* Creative video transitions and speed ramping.
* Colour grading and visual effects.
* Social media video production.
* Website background video optimisation.
* Video compression and export settings.
