TRAILER REQUIREMENTS

So I can filter through and find the appropriate people who have the skills required for this job, I am asking that the people who are serious in applying, create a 15-30 second TRAILER - edited in the same way and style, like how THE DIARY OF A CEO is edited- MUST be like this. Examples of trailers are as follows:

Trailer starts at 0:26

Upgrade to see actual info
Trailer starts at 0:25

Look at the way it is edited. Look at how the video starts and how the editor has incorporated b-roll in the background without interrupting the conversation.
