Video Editor - Interested in Basketball

I’m looking to hire a video editor who is interested in basketball - if this interests you, please read details below:

Most of the time, I’ll be sending you raw footage of someone speaking on camera. Other times, I'll ask you to find specific clips from YouTube of NBA players doing specific things, which is why you need to know and understand basketball.

Your responsibilities:

- Make cuts wherever it is noted (you’ll receive a document outlining this with every video)
- Piece together different video clips in a professional way to make one highly engaging video for YouTube
- Add texts of key points in visually appealing ways - e.g. text wrapping, slides, animated entrances, etc. (key points will be given to you)
- Make any edits you feel would make the overall presentation better and more engaging
- Help us build a collection of NBA player video clips
- Some of these videos will be explanation/instruction based videos which will need graphics like arrows, slow motion at certain points, etc. You'll need to pay attention to those details.'
- Clip videos and put them on Instagram

Use of Final Cut Pro is preferred.

I’m looking for someone with an eye for design and someone who can:

- Meet deadlines
- Good at research and "finding content/video clips" on YouTube
- Can communicate well in English
- Complete tasks thoroughly and quickly
- Provide good feedback

If you can create graphics and are familiar with photoshop, that’s a bonus because I also have some image work to go along with the videos!

- If all goes well, I’ll likely hire you full time
- Bonuses will be given for exceptional work!

I’m not just looking for some ‘quick work’ - I’m here to find someone who can deliver great, professional looking videos and can be a part of my team in the long term.

Required for applying - if all of these aren't included, we will not look further at your application:

- I need to see past work so please send me video links of your best work in your application
- At the very beginning of your application, explain to me why you're interested in basketball. Do you play basketball? Do you watch basketball? Which aspect of basketball do you like the most (shooting, dribbling, dunking, etc.)? The more you can convince us about this, the better your chances will be at getting an interview!
- Which video editing software you use?
- Who's your favorite player? Why?
- Do you have experience with creating Instagram videos?
- In the subject field of your application write: “Your New Basketball Video Editor Is Here :)” - If I don’t see this in the subject line, I will not look at your application as that shows you’re not paying attention to detail and did not read this entire post
