VIDEO JOURNALIST – PEDESTRIAN TV (SYDNEY)

Pedestrian TV is a fast growing publishing brand based in Sydney. They’re on the look for a video journalist, who will be able to brainstorm engaging and potentially-viral video concepts every day and then execute them pretty much autonomously: pulling and piecing together footage, arranging interviews, shooting and, finally, editing content to live across our massive social media channels. From politics to plays on memes, no two days will be the same.

 

Required Skills:

  • Be a recent grad or have 1-2 years experience in a video editing / reporting role.
  • Have a killer news sense, with a finger on the pulse of online conversation at all times and the hunger to hunt down exclusive stories and angles.
  • Have high-level shooting and editing skills, with experience using a range of software (FinalCut, Premiere etc).
  • Ideally have basic animation skills.
  • Be flexible enough to work after hours when necessary.
  • Have great time management skills

 

If this sounds like you shoot through your CV and five pitches for 1-2 min news-based video features that you think would make a great fit for Pedestrian TV by Friday, February 24 to Vanessa at [email protected].
