VIDEO EDITOR/POST PRODUCER

Primary Skills:

• Premiere - Experience with multi camera timelines and seamless creative edits (looking for someone who can sync cams faster than pluraleyes and edits using keyboard shortcuts). Our Editors are dual-focused, we handle both quick-turnaround daily show content in the mornings, where speed and attention to detail are paramount; and we create more elaborate long-form parody content and super videos (Documentary style creatives) with turnarounds in the range of a week from shoot date. Be prepared and capable to handle both styles of content and transition between them smoothly
• Photoshop - Create parody images for the daily show as well as green screen backgrounds/plates, etc. Looking not just for someone adept at the program, but who uses it as a medium for great work. While we do utilize AI for some aspects of image generation, it should be a jumping off point rather than a crutch
• After Effects - experience working with/customizing templates, creating VFX, motion graphics & handling green screen content (Green screen makes up a large part of our parody content, knowledge of both advanced key-cleanup and compositing are highly sought after skills)
• Adobe Audition - know how to clean up audio and normalize to broadcast standards as necessary

• Great storytelling and an understanding of comedic timing - We create a combination of comedic and informative content, and in comedy, timing is everything. Experience in a comedy environment is a plus, but a general understanding of punchy timing, even meme culture is a big help
• Strong grasp of color and format - We produce many different forms of content ranging from original documentaries to movie and television recreations. It’s important to understand how to appropriately color correct and grade scenes to reinforce tone and style. Experience in film emulation is great.

We have high expectations, and a self-starter who can work with minimal direction goes a long way in the face of stressful situations.
