Documentary Video Editor
We are looking for a creative video editor for the editing of a long form documentary (50 mins) for Redbull.
There is also some supplementary content required for which some extra support will be given (teasers, promos, behind the scenes etc)
The position will suit a video editor with a lead credit on a documentary looking to work with beautifully shot content in an interesting genre.

We require a creative, fast editor, who has the ability to pull stories and narrative from a sea of footage. You'll be equally at home crafting the wider narrative as you will be getting juiced up cutting the music montage sections.

The Director and DoP will be around to oversee and assists with much of the edit, and will lend a hand cutting some of the scenes, but make no mistake- you will be the lead editor.

We will be cutting on Adobe Premier CC on Apple Mac and you'll be based in our lovely office just off Brick Lane.

So what is it?
The film is a music based road trip documentary featuring an up and coming band travelling through America, discovering their musical roots.
We'll share full treatments with candidates that make it through to the next round of selection.
