EDITING INTERN/VOLUNTEER

 

We’re seeking an intern to assist with the early phase of the editing process. As the project will be filming for some time, more emphasis at this stage will be placed on transcribing and logging interview footage, for eventual inclusion of text and video into Adobe Premiere Pro.

This opportunity will allow a candidate to work independently on their own schedule and initiative, off-site and without the need for travel. Instructions and guidance can be conducted via Skype/phone conferences in lieu of in-person meetings, if necessary. There will be considerable direct communication with the film’s director and producers, however.

Preferred, but not required: Experience in Adobe Premiere Pro.

Location: Can work remotely. Ability to travel for occasional in-person meetings preferred, but we can accommodate students who may be unable to travel.
