Client: LionStar

Location: Boston, MA

Contract: Freelance

Company Description

LionStar Films is a video production house based in Atlanta, Georgia, working with high-end corporate clients as well as marketing and advertising agencies. We are dedicated to providing dynamic and powerful content for our clients. Our production services cover everything from production to post-production.

This project specifically requires hiring for edit positions and motion graphic artists.

Job Description

We are looking for 20 freelance video editors and 5 motion graphics artists to assist with a quick-turn video project involving the editing of 20 short comedic spoof videos for a corporate client. Editors will receive storyboards and raw UGC footage for a 90-second video that needs to be edited overnight, under the supervision of a Post Production Supervisor.

The ideal candidate should possess 1-5 years of professional experience, strong technical and creative skills, and proficiency in Premiere and/or After Effects. Candidates must be highly organized, detail-oriented, and possess excellent interpersonal and communication skills, with the ability to work under tight deadlines.

The work will take place in a meeting room at the Atlas Hotel in Boston, Massachusetts. Parking reimbursement will be provided; applicants must arrange their own transportation.

This project spans three evenings: March 17th, 24th, and 26th, with a pay rate of $600 per session. Work will begin at 7 pm and continue until individual videos are completed. Each video is expected to take approximately 6 hours, so candidates should be prepared to work late if necessary.

Each editor will work with footage that the client shoots on the same day, editing it to match the client’s vision in a short story format no longer than 2 minutes. Quick edits are essential as the videos will be shown during an awards ceremony the following morning. Due to the fast-paced nature and tight turnaround, applicants should be comfortable editing swiftly and independently.

Applicants must provide a current demo reel showcasing their work to be considered. Edit stations with Premiere pre-loaded will be provided.
