# About Us

Social Symone Studios LLC is a growing digital media company behind multiple content brands, including the Social Symone YouTube channel with over **300,000 subscribers** and more than **4 million monthly views** across its content. Just a warning. I AM AN ADVANCE EDITOR so please do not waste our time if you are not in advanced editor. I am not talking about fancy camera angles. I am talking about cuts, transitions, captions, video, grading, etc. I (Social Symone) is looking for a person who knows how to edit themselves.

We understand what it takes to build audiences, create engaging content, and scale successful social media brands.

As part of our continued expansion, we are launching and growing additional channels under the Social Symone Studios umbrella, including a restaurant review brand focused on TikTok, Instagram Reels, and YouTube Shorts.

We are looking for an editor who wants to join us during the early stages of this brand's growth and become part of a long-term team. This is an opportunity to work directly with an established creator and help build the next successful channel under Social Symone Studios LLC.

# The Content
This is the creator you will work for and his style. Please study it so you can understand his level of editing and what type of videos are required: ----------

The creator visits restaurants and records extensive B-roll footage including:

* Food
* Drinks
* Restaurant atmosphere
* Menu items
* Dining experience
* Establishment visuals

The creator also records a separate voiceover review for every video.

### The voiceover is already fully edited before it reaches you.

You are NOT responsible for:

* Writing scripts
* Recording voiceovers
* Editing narration
* Audio cleanup
* Story development
* Cutting filler words from narration

Your primary responsibility is to take the completed voiceover and transform it into an engaging, high-retention vertical video using the provided footage.

# What You'll Receive

For every project, you will receive:

* Completed voiceover review
* Restaurant B-roll footage
* Additional assets when applicable

---

# Your Responsibilities

* Match B-roll footage to the voiceover
* Create engaging visual pacing
* Add captions/subtitles

* Incorporate ---------- s, reaction images, graphics, and sound effects when appropriate

This role requires speed, reliability, and professionalism.

### Requirements

* 24-hour turnaround on assigned projects
