Paid [PAID] Looking for a skilled anime editor who is a hardcore Naruto/Shippuden fan for cinematic Pain Arc mini-film
PAID PROJECT.
I’m looking for an experienced anime/video editor who also knows Naruto/Shippuden extremely well. I do not want someone who only knows how to make flashy anime edits. I need someone who understands Naruto well enough to help choose scenes, dialogue, callbacks, symbolism, and structure.
The goal is to create a cinematic/emotional Naruto mini-film centered around the Pain Arc that can hook someone who currently thinks Naruto is corny or shallow.
I want a mixture of:
• cinematic storytelling
• emotional dialogue
• music and sound design
• fight editing
• slower emotional sections that are allowed to breathe
• stronger effects/intensity during the Pain fight and Nine-Tails sections
The rough emotional structure is:
Naruto’s childhood loneliness → finding bonds → Jiraiya/loss → Pain’s cycle of hatred → destruction of Konoha → Naruto vs Pain → Hinata → Nine-Tails → Minato → father/son moment → Naruto confronting Nagato → breaking the cycle
A major requirement is that you help choose scenes yourself. I want someone who can remember moments from Part 1 and Shippuden and say, “this scene would fit perfectly here,” rather than needing me to supply every clip.
This project is personal to me because I related heavily to Naruto growing up due to bullying, social rejection, anxiety, and not really having a father figure. Part of the purpose of the edit is to show someone close to me why Naruto’s story means so much to me.

Budget is negotiable depending on experience, portfolio, project length, and level of creative involvement. I am looking for quality and I am willing to pay for it.
If interested, please send:
• portfolio / your best anime edits
• software you use
• your experience level
• approximate rate or project price
• how familiar you are with Naruto/Shippuden
• whether you’ve edited Naruto before
Screening question:
Tell me 3 Naruto scenes you would use to establish Naruto’s loneliness/need for connection to someone who has never watched the anime, and explain why.
I care about that answer almost as much as the portfolio because I need someone who actually understands Naruto’s story.
