The Vibe: If you’ve watched the channel, you know it’s mostly about challenges, learning, dry humor, and the "Adam vs Game" angle. I’m not looking for the typical over-the-top, screamy, brain-rot style with neon flashing lights and random sound effects every two seconds. No subway surfers on the bottom of the screens, here. The goal is to make the clips hold attention without a ton of that. Using flourishes that make sense in the context without going over the top is of course fine (examples to follow later).

I want someone who actually understands the content so you know why a certain moment is impressive or funny without me having to explain the mechanics in detail to you. Though for the right candidate, I of course would love to work with fine tuning this over time. I do play a variety of games and don't expect you to know every single one of them from the inside out.
The Guidelines:
No AI-Automated Editing: I’m not interested in tools that "auto-clip" or use AI to decide what’s interesting. I want a human who understands comedic timing and narrative pacing. If I wanted the prior I'd just pay for one of those tools.
Clean & Readable: Subtitles should be there to help people follow the content and add to retention without being over the top.
Reality over Hype: Whether it’s a 10-minute battle condensed into 60 seconds or a 30 second sarcastic joke, it should feel like a natural extension of the main channel. The goal of the short form content is to get people over to the long form content and streams. I don't want them showing up to an edited long form video and being confused that the content is even from the same person.

The Workflow: You'll have access to the long-form edits, raw VODs, and sometimes clips taken by me or viewers. Your job is to find the cool, funny, interesting, or guide-like moments then edit it for a vertical screen and retention without going 'over-the-top' as mentioned earlier. If a VOD has a hundred good moments, we make a hundred clips. If it’s a slow day and there’s only one, we make one. Quality over hitting a generic daily quota. Though with the amount of content I have the eventual goal will be to post 1-3 shorts per day.
