We are seeking a skilled and creative video editor to join our team for an exciting Kickstarter project. As a video editor, you will play a crucial role in crafting a compelling and engaging video that effectively communicates our product’s story and value proposition to our audience.

Last year, we successfully sold a limited run of 250 units of our First Edition game, Misfits. Now, we’re gearing up for a second batch, slated for release as part of an upcoming Kickstarter campaign. With the right exposure, and on the basis of national retailer feedback, we believe Misfits has the potential to become the next household favourite, akin to Jenga. We’re in talks with stocking our game with Uncommon Goods, John Lewis and Waterstones in the UK for this coming Christmas.

· Collaborate with the founder to understand the project goals and target audience.

· Review, categorise raw footage and select the best shots to create a cohesive narrative.

· Edit video content to create a visually stunning and engaging Kickstarter launch video.

· Incorporate music, sound effects, and visual effects to enhance the overall  impact of the video — please no cheesy corporate jingles!

· Ensure that the video aligns with the brand’s style and messaging guidelines.

· Iterate on edits based on feedback from the founder to achieve the desired final product.

· Meet project deadlines and deliver high-quality work under tight timelines.

· Strong communication skills and ability to collaborate effectively with the team .

· Ability to work independently and efficiently manage your workload to meet deadlines.
