Full Job Description

Duration 6 month contract

The company is a busy digital media agency based in Borough SE1.

We are looking for an experienced filmmaker/ editor to work on the creation of short videos and interactive media across the London region. We produce work in various genre - drama, documentary and e-learning - for the web and/or DVD.

For this position you need to:
• Relish being in a 'hands on' role and be able and willing to cover a wide variety of skill bases. Be able to work on your own initiative but also be a good team player.

• Be able to set up and use professional grade video cameras / microphones and audio equipment and a 3-point lighting kit to a very high standard - both in the studio and on location.

• Be a very creative and resourceful video editor (Final Cut Pro) and be able to quickly cut together footage to tight deadlines - in a busy environment. Ideally you will also be able to use motion graphics software for titles / special effects etc

• Have a very strong organizational ability, be confident talking to people face to face and on the phone and be able to set up and run media productions efficiently and to schedule.

• Be able to work effectively and enthusiastically with young people, in media productions associated with our media skills training arm. CRB checks will be required.

We run a brand new, fully equipped production studio, complete with infinity wall, DMX controlled lighting rig, HD vision / sound mixers, 3 high end Sony HD cameras, chroma key kit and auto cue etc. This is run for commercial productions and media education. You will also have a number of comprehensive kits for use on location.

The job is due to start in March and is initially offered as a 6 month fixed term contract - but we would hope that it would lead to a permanent role.

We are a small and tightly knit team with 8 full time staff. You will need to enjoy working in a small company atmosphere where you will cover a broad range of skills and always be adaptable. No two days will be the same.

The company is involved in a wide and ever expanding range of web / multimedia production and publishing work for both the public and private sectors. Projects include video based websites, media players and widgets, e-learning projects, viral advert production, film and photography production and media training. Facilitating User Generated Content (UGC) and participant media is one of the company's key aims and services - helping people to create and publish their own media.
