Job description
Skyline Creative
Skyline Creative, a holistic boutique provider of video marketing and social content, is seeking passionate video editors to join our Sydney studio and help push the boundaries of the industry.
A diverse role which can evolve and develop alongside marketing trends
Flexible and consistent work
Can be done in-studio or remotely
This position requires a video editor with experience in a variety of editing techniques in providing leading agencies with interior, real estate, property and profile videos of the highest quality, as well as a range of lifestyle and social content. Experience within the Real Estate industry is by no means necessary, however strong editing skills, a keen eye for detail, creative thinking, and the ability to meet strict deadlines is a must.
Applicants must have advanced knowledge of Adobe Premiere and After Effects including colour grading, creating and modifying motion graphics and working independently to a guideline.
The role is freelance, work available 24/7 if you are set up in any location with high-speed internet, or you can work from our studio Monday-Friday based in Chippendale. The amount of work offered will be based on your own availability, reliability, and quality of work.
Our editors will be needing to create property videos according to a briefed style, from raws all the way to finals. It's high on technical fundamentals, shot selection and placement, compositions, colour grading, stabilisation, speed, and creativity is needed in storytelling through a space and matching visuals with music and audio in a dynamic way.
We pride ourselves on being digital specialists and visual storytellers who love to create great video, and we are able to do this because of the amazing people that make up Skyline. If you feel that we would be lucky to have you join the team, please send us a PDF cover letter, and include within it workable links to 3x of your favourite videos you have edited and why you have chosen those. *Applications without this, or sent on word docs or pages docs will be unsuccessful.*
It helps if you can show examples where you've followed a brief (describe it) and examples where you've created feeling or emotion of any kind intentionally through music.
Things we never look for;
list of credits of all the projects you've worked on
where you studied
long repetitive showreels
broadcast experience
videos older than 5 years
Things we do look for;
following the application instructions
can cut to music by feeling the track and dynamics
evidence you've looked us up and know what you're applying for
evidence of good editing skills
self-awareness and knowing what value you would bring to our agency
Our current freelance editors love the gig as a stable income working with a great understanding crew, keeping their flexibility and control over their own time, while creating gorgeous work from beautiful built form and architecture.
We look forward to receiving your application and having a chat. As much as we'd love to get back to everyone, only those successful will be notified, generally within 1-2 weeks of application.
