I’ve already shot the footage for a five-minute Star Wars-inspired short and now need a sharp editor who can turn the raw takes into a finished piece that feels cinematic. Scope of work • Assemble the narrative in Premiere Pro (or your preferred NLE) and deliver a clean, well-paced 5:00 cut. • Add three to four straightforward VFX shots in After Effects: the key moment is a spaceship touching down, shown at night with practical light bloom matched to the glow of the engines. • Grade the entire film so the landing sequence seamlessly blends into a consistent nighttime palette. • Layer in ambient sci-fi sound effects that sell the landing (no big explosions—think rumble, hydraulic hiss, distant machinery) and weave an original or royalty-free score underneath. • Hand off the final video in 4K H.264 plus a second export with split dialogue, SFX, and music stems for future tweaks. Acceptance I’ll sign off once the VFX shots look integrated (no harsh edges or mismatched grain), the audio bed feels balanced at broadcast-safe levels, and the runtime sits at or under five minutes without black frames or pops. If you can hit those notes, send a link to a previous sci-fi short or VFX reel and let’s get rolling.

Hello, I can help you turn your raw footage into a tight, cinematic Star Wars inspired short that feels polished, immersive, and intentional from the first frame to touchdown. The scope you’ve outlined story driven pacing, restrained VFX, cohesive night grading, and atmospheric sound design is exactly what gives a fan-inspired piece a professional finish rather than a cosplay vibe. I bring over 8+ years of experience editing narrative shorts, sci fi projects, and VFX assisted films, working across Premiere Pro, After Effects, and professional color and audio workflows. I’ve handled spaceship landings, night composites, and effects integration where lighting, grain, and motion all need to match flawlessly, and I’m comfortable balancing visuals and sound to broadcast-safe standards. My approach is methodical and creative, I’ll assemble a clean, well paced five-minute cut first, then integrate the VFX shots so they sit naturally in the scene with matched lighting and texture. From there, I’ll grade the film into a consistent nighttime palette, layer subtle sci fi ambience and score, and deliver two clean 4K exports including split stems so you have flexibility going forward. Feel free to have a chat, Regards, Aqsa.

I specialize in both narrative editing and integrating VFX seamlessly into live-action footage.

For your project, I’ll assemble the narrative in Premiere Pro, ensuring a well-paced cut that maintains the flow and impact of the story.

Greetings, A Star Wars inspired short lives or dies on pacing, atmosphere, and restraint. When the edit feels cinematic and the sound and light work together, even simple VFX moments like a nighttime landing can feel big, grounded, and believable. That is exactly the kind of detail-driven finishing work I enjoy. I can assemble a tight five-minute narrative cut, handle the spaceship landing VFX in After Effects with soft engine bloom and matched grain, and grade the full film into a cohesive night palette. I will build a subtle sci-fi soundscape with rumble, hydraulics, and ambient machinery, layered under a royalty-free score, and deliver clean 4K exports plus properly separated dialogue, SFX, and music stems. My focus is seamless integration so nothing pulls the viewer out of the story. Please come over chat and discuss your requirement in a detailed way.
