Contest Brief

PROJECT OVERVIEW - MUST MESSAGE ME TO RECEIVE LINK TO FILES TO EDIT.

I am seeking creative collaboration for editing a luxury-style YouTube travel vlog documenting my trip through the South of France, Monaco, Cannes, and Paris.
The goal is to create a polished, cinematic, engaging, luxury travel experience that feels elevated, aspirational, and entertaining while maintaining authentic moments from the trip.
This edit should feel premium and editorial—not overly vloggy or chaotic.
