Job posting

November 4th, 2009

Please email resumes to info@secrethandshake.com (NOT TO ME!)
One of our amazing staff editors just got a writing fellowship, so is headed to Oklahoma…and we need to replace him. Great opportunity for him, sucks for us, maybe good for you! We are a small company that has had a consistent rate of growth for the past 2 years, and we are looking for someone who wants to grow with the company.

Avid and Final Cut Pro Editor :

Editor must be proficient in technical aspects of editing including: logging, capturing, efficient use of keyboard shortcuts, project archiving and media management, mastering to tape/file/disc, and authoring DVDs. Editor should have a strong knowledge of media compression workflows and have some experience working with compression software such as Apple Compressor and Sorensen Squeeze. Editor should be proficient with leading NLE software – Avid Media Composer and Final Cut Studio Pro – experience with Mac hardware and software (Apple Motion, DVD Studio Pro and Color) a plus.

Editor must have a strong sense of visual design. Candidate will be required to develop fresh and interesting “looks” for clients. Editor must also have an ability to quickly distill a large amount of footage into its best parts. The work is varied but a great personality is required as Editor will largely be working directly with clients (actors, directors of photography, directors) to create their show reels. Good communication skills necessary in order to work efficiently with clients and be able to deliver a product they are proud of.

WE NEED A SELF-STARTER WHO CAN WORK INDEPENDENTLY AND MANAGE THEIR TIME EFFECTIVELY.
