What We're Looking For

We are not looking for someone who simply cuts clips together. We want an editor who understands why people keep watching .

You should have a strong creative eye and be able to recognize when a video needs a faster cut, stronger opening, better B-roll, cleaner audio, a visual interruption, or a different structure. You should be comfortable working independently while still following the overall creative direction of the brand.
