Austin, United States Night LLC Full time
General Description

The AstroKobi team is looking for an editor to work with us in producing some of the best educational content on YouTube. You'll work with me directly to create engaging content that effectively communicates the topics being discussed. Knowledge of the content topics is not required but willingness to learn/ask questions will absolutely help We have a team of animators who will help create some of the more intensive 3D animations but a strong understanding of animation will be needed to work on these videos going forward. The ideal candidate would have a basic understand of 2D animation for tasks such as graphic overlays and typographic animations. Any understanding of 3D animation, data visualisation or more complex animation techniques will be highly regarded. Examples of the quality and type are given below. The ideal candidate will have,
  • The ability to work within the Adobe suite (PP and AE)
  • Flexibility to work on ~ 2 videos per month.
  • Good knowledge of YouTube and how to make an engaging video, this doesn't mean extreme subtitles and dramatic edits but rather knowledge of story structure, pacing and visual communication.
  • The ability to take on constructive feedback and implement changes effectively.
  • The ability to learn and ask questions about the video topics with a focus on getting the science correct in the editing process.
  • Familiarity with feedback software like frame.io would be useful.
Position key details
  • ~ 2 videos per month.
  • Per-project basis as a contractor.
  • Videos will vary in complexity and working time so payment will be in the form of an agreed upon day-rate to accommodate. Some videos will be 2-3 full days of editing while others could be up to two weeks.
  • You aren't expected to be a master of all types of animation/editing, we work with 3-4 animators on specialised work like data visualisation, maps and 3D space renders. Your focus will be on crafting the overarching story of the video (with me) and establishing the pacing through use of animation, music, sound effects etc.


Examples of Work Quality

Here are a number of examples of the work type and quality you will be expected to produce. You don't need to be able to do all of these edits completely and perfectly now, this is meant as a guide for the quality of editor we are chasing. Below each example is a description of the key elements we like and would need from you in our videos.

Application

Check out the examples below and use them as a reference point for what you will be expected to do. Beyond these examples, watch the first minute or two of some of my videos to get an understanding for my style. If you think you have what it takes, apply here.

This is a great intro from Cleo Abram. In this example I would focus on the graph animation Cleo has used, it's so simple and clear that the message is immediately understood by any viewer. That's the goal. The use of sound effects is also great

Just a beautifully paced intro by James Jani, creative ideas like the Forbes magazine first scene illustrate the level of creativity we are chasing here.

This is a simple but clear illustration of a scientific idea that makes it easy to understand. Another example of clear communication using visual storytelling.

A simple and clear animation showing the transit of planets on the Sun to illustrate how big Jupiter and Earth are.

The pacing and style of this intro by Johnny Harris is amazing and his use of sound effects, camera movement, pacing and ability to make a 3D environment out of relatively boring 2D assets is key her
