High-Retention 10s Luxury Real Estate Reel

I’m looking for an exceptional short-form video editor to create a very short, high-retention Instagram Reel from footage of a $15M property in Aspen, Colorado.

I will be filming the property tomorrow and will provide all original footage immediately after the shoot.

FINAL VIDEO:
Approximately 10–12 seconds
Vertical 9:16
Instagram Reels / TikTok
Extremely polished
Designed for maximum retention, replays and shares

THIS IS NOT A TRADITIONAL REAL ESTATE VIDEO.

The opening shot will be filmed with the camera positioned outside the house. I will be inside and open the front door toward the camera.

The text should appear immediately:

WHAT $15M GETS YOU IN ASPEN

After the opening, I want a very fast sequence using ONLY the strongest shots of the property.

Most clips will likely be approximately 0.5–1 second, but timing should follow the music rather than a rigid formula.

The edit should feel fast, expensive, clean and effortless.

THE LOOP IS EXTREMELY IMPORTANT.

The final shot will show the exterior of the property.

I want the ending to transition back into the opening shot so naturally that the Reel feels like it NEVER ENDS.

Ideally, viewers should already be watching their second loop before realizing the video restarted.

Think:

DOOR OPENS → PROPERTY → PROPERTY → PROPERTY → EXTERIOR → DOOR OPENS → PROPERTY...

No obvious ending.
No fade-out.
No end card.
No logo outro.

The music/audio should also loop naturally so there is no obvious audio reset.

I care deeply about:
- First 1–2 second retention
- Clip selection
- Precise cuts
- Beat synchronization
- Pacing
- Rewatchability
- Seamless visual + audio looping
- Subtle color correction
- Stabilization if necessary
- Premium taste

DO NOT USE:
- Cheesy real estate transitions
- Generic luxury graphics
- Logo intros
- Property-stat slides
- Slow traditional house-tour editing
- Excessive effects
- AI-generated modifications to the property

The goal is entertainment first, real estate second.

Someone should be able to watch all 10–12 seconds without caring about real estate simply because the edit is satisfying.

DELIVERABLES:
- 1 final 9:16 high-quality Reel
- 2–3 initial pacing/edit variations
- Seamless visual and audio loop
- Basic color correction/stabilization as needed
- Revisions to perfect timing and loop
- Final high-quality export ready for Instagram

BUDGET:
$30 fixed for this first video.

If the work is exceptional, I expect to have additional Aspen luxury property, event and lifestyle content to edit in the future.

IMPORTANT:
Because I am filming tomorrow, I am especially interested in hiring someone quickly.

If selected before the shoot, I may ask you what specific opening/exterior shots or camera movements I should capture tomorrow to give you the best possible material for the seamless loop.

TO APPLY:

Start your proposal with the word ASPEN so I know you read the brief.

Please send 2–3 examples of your BEST short-form work, preferably videos under 20 seconds.

I am NOT looking for your longest or most cinematic real estate video. Show me work that demonstrates retention, pacing, taste and precise editing.

Also answer this in ONE sentence:

How would you make the final exterior shot transition naturally back into the opening door shot so the viewer barely notices the Reel restarted?
