Trying my hand at editing a video for LMG?

Before you read the title and go "LOL no" let me explain.

 

I love technology. I love video editing. Working with these two at the same time would be even better. LMG isn't hiring, and this isn't some form of indirect application. I don't know if I would apply yet, even if that window were open. What I wanted to do though was to potentially have the opportunity to edit an LMG video. I do not mean one that they would use. I do not mean one that they would potentially use or publicize in any way, shape or form. I mean simply taking a form of raw footage, and attempting to edit it with the same level of quality as their current content, with perhaps a different angle of approaching it. I've been editing and creating videos for nine years now, and long ago I decided this is something I want to make a career out of. I don't want to get my hopes up, and I don't know if maybe something like this has been tried in the past, so I decided to make a thread about it. Would doing something like this be possible?

This is a good idea. Obviously from a video that they have already made.

 

I support this, even though it doesn't mean much since I'm just a cat on a forum. 

 

I see this going well until Edzel jumps you in an alley. 

muh specs 

Gaming and HTPC (reparations)- ASUS 1080, MSI X99A SLI Plus, 5820k- 4.5GHz @ 1.25v, asetek based 360mm AIO, RM 1000x, 16GB memory, 750D with front USB 2.0 replaced with 3.0  ports, 2 250GB 850 EVOs in Raid 0 (why not, only has games on it), some hard drives

Screens- Acer preditor XB241H (1080p, 144Hz Gsync), LG 1080p ultrawide, (all mounted) directly wired to TV in other room

Stuff- k70 with reds, steel series rival, g13, full desk covering mouse mat

All parts black

Workstation(desk)- 3770k, 970 reference, 16GB of some crucial memory, a motherboard of some kind I don't remember, Micomsoft SC-512N1-L/DVI, CM Storm Trooper (It's got a handle, can you handle that?), 240mm Asetek based AIO, Crucial M550 256GB (upgrade soon), some hard drives, disc drives, and hot swap bays

Screens- 3  ASUS VN248H-P IPS 1080p screens mounted on a stand, some old tv on the wall above it. 

Stuff- Epicgear defiant (solderless swappable switches), g600, moutned mic and other stuff. 

Laptop docking area- 2 1440p korean monitors mounted, one AHVA matte, one samsung PLS gloss (very annoying, yes). Trashy Razer blackwidow chroma...I mean like the J key doesn't click anymore. I got a model M i use on it to, but its time for a new keyboard. Some edgy Utechsmart mouse similar to g600. Hooked to laptop dock for both of my dell precision laptops. (not only docking area)

Shelf- i7-2600 non-k (has vt-d), 380t, some ASUS sandy itx board, intel quad nic. Currently hosts shared files, setting up as pfsense box in VM. Also acts as spare gaming PC with a 580 or whatever someone brings. Hooked into laptop dock area via usb switch

Don't cross your fingers. Break them. Linus will be there as if summoned.

I know LMG is very busy, so I'm not really hoping for much of a response..
