Video Editor & Storyteller
About Us
Backyard Collective is an un-agency shaping stories for brands through content, social media, branding, marketing, and new-age storytelling. We’re not chasing trends — we’re building narratives that make brands unforgettable. At the heart of this is video. And we’re looking for a video editor who doesn’t just cut clips, but crafts stories.
What You’ll Do
- Editing with Speed & Precision
- Deliver high-quality edits with quick turnaround times from brand films to reels, shorts, podcasts, and event coverage.
- Maintain technical excellence across formats: sound, transitions, pacing, grading, and motion.
- Storytelling through the Edit Table
- Shape raw footage into powerful stories that flow seamlessly.
- Work with rhythm, emotion, and cinematic pacing not just aesthetics.
- Use your understanding of narrative arcs to elevate even short-form edits into experiences.
- Cinematic & Contemporary Awareness
- Draw inspiration from cinema and pop culture to push creative boundaries.
- Stay sharp on what’s working in micro-content (reels, shorts, YouTube edits, podcast cuts).
- Blend cinematic craft with digital-first energy.
- Collaboration with the Creative Team
- Be involved in pre-production ideation to set yourself (and the team) up for stronger post-production outcomes.
- Work with directors, designers, and writers to ensure the edit aligns with the larger creative vision.
- Suggest formats, transitions, and techniques proactively instead of only executing briefs.
- Technical Mastery
- Advanced knowledge of Premiere Pro / Final Cut Pro / DaVinci Resolve (and After Effects is a plus).
- Robust skills in text animation, color grading, and basic motion graphics to elevate edits.
- Ability to handle multiple projects simultaneously without compromising on quality.
- Manage assets, workflows, and file structures for smooth collaboration.
What We’re Looking For
- 2–4 years of experience in editing films, ads, or content across formats.
- A showreel that demonstrates both storytelling chops and technical finesse.
- Strong sense of pacing, rhythm, and music usage.
- Awareness of global cinema references and digital-first editing styles.
- Ability to think like a storyteller, not just an editor.
- Agility to work on both long-form content and micro-content with equal strength.
- Bonus: Experience in motion graphics, sound design, or experimental formats.
- Why Join Us
- Be the editor shaping films, reels, and stories for some of the most exciting brands, artists, and experiences.
- Work in an environment that values experimentation and bold storytelling.
- Collaborate with a tight,
visionary creative team that wants you involved at every stage.
- Build a portfolio that spans both cinematic and cutting-edge digital work.
