We're Hiring a Videographer/Editor!

Mental Floss is seeking a full-time videographer/editor to join our team in New York City. This person will shoot and edit multiple videos a week for our site and other platforms, contribute to brainstorming sessions, and see each video through every stage of production to the final product. This includes:

- Pitching video ideas and planning their execution - Shooting in studio and on location - Lighting shoots in studio and on location - Recording audio - Editing video - Creating text and basic motion graphics

Ideal candidates will be ambitious, detail-oriented, and deadline-driven, and comfortable being a key player on a team as well as managing independent projects. They will have solid technical and production skills, and are equally comfortable shooting and editing. A sense of humor, wit, and the proclivity to pitch in and do whatever needs doing to get the job done are essential.

REQUIREMENTS

- 2-4 years making short-form digital video - Experience shooting, lighting, and audio recording in the studio and on location - Experience editing videos - Proficiency in Adobe Premiere, After Effects, and Photoshop - A knowledge of "what works" across platforms—but also an inclination to push the boundaries and innovate - Strong writing skills - Bonus points if you have animation and graphic design experience
