About the role
TrueCakes is a quick-growing eggless cake brand with 13 stores across Bengaluru. We're looking for a Videographer & Video Editor who specialises in high-end food and product videos: premium, ad-quality footage of the kind you'd see in national food brand commercials, where every cake shot looks irresistible.
What you'll do
- Plan, shoot and edit food and product videos for ads, Instagram Reels, YouTube Shorts, the website and in-store screens
- Handle the full production: concept, storyboard, lighting, food styling support, shooting and post-production
- Shoot close-up and slow-motion hero cake shots: cream pours, slicing, decorating, product reveals
- Cover in-store moments, new launches, festive campaigns and behind-the-scenes content from our kitchen
- Work with the marketing team on monthly content calendars and turn briefs around quickly
- Manage equipment and keep an organised footage library
Shooting skills
- Hands-on with mirrorless/DSLR cameras, macro and prime lenses, gimbals, sliders and tripods
- Food and product lighting: softboxes, LED panels, backlighting and reflectors to make textures and cream look appetising
- Slow-motion (high frame rate) and close-up macro shooting
- Strong composition, framing and camera movement for commercial-style shots
- Basic audio recording with lav and shotgun mics
Editing skills and capabilities
- Expert in Adobe Premiere Pro and/or DaVinci Resolve
- Colour correction and colour grading: consistent, warm, appetising food tones and brand-matched looks
- Motion graphics in After Effects: animated text, logo reveals, price/offer callouts, lower thirds
- Sound design: music selection,
sound effects (crunch, pour, slice), audio cleanup and mixing
- Speed ramping, slow-motion editing, transitions and beat-synced cuts
- Fast-paced short-form editing for Instagram Reels and YouTube Shorts, with strong hooks in the first 3 seconds
- Exporting in multiple formats and aspect ratios (9:16, 1:1, 16:9), optimised for each platform
- Subtitles and captions, including Kannada/Hindi/English where needed
- Basic photo editing in Photoshop or Lightroom for thumbnails and stills
- Good to have: CapCut / VN for quick turnarounds, and basic AI tools for editing and cleanup
Must-have experience
- 2-4 years of hands-on experience shooting food and product videos: this is the primary requirement. General event, wedding or vlog experience alone will not be considered.
- A portfolio or showreel of food/product work (required): cakes, desserts, bakery, beverages, restaurant or FMCG product shoots
- Proven ability to deliver commercial, ad-grade quality: tabletop and macro shots, slow-motion pours and cuts, controlled studio lighting, clean and consistent colour
- Experience working with food stylists or styling food yourself so it looks fresh and appetising on camera
- Experience with brand, agency or food business clients is a strong plus
- A sharp eye for detail: texture, gloss, steam, crumbs and cream must look perfect in every frame
- Able to manage multiple projects and meet tight deadlines
- Own equipment is a plus
How to apply: please include your showreel or portfolio link with your application.
Location: Bengaluru (on-site), full-time
Salary: ₹3.5-6 lakh per annum (based on experience and portfolio)
