As you know we now live in a remote world. My name is Brandon Sentnor, I have been in the entertainment industry for over 9 years and for over the past year have worked completely remote on television shows/digital content for networks like NBC, MTV, and BET. You are probably here to find someone new who you don’t know and gain trust if they are a good fit. If the person you hire even hits half of these, then you are in good hands most likely. You are in the right place, if you are in search of a qualified Remote Video Editor. I made a simple list you should watch out for when looking for the right person for your next job:
- The editor has a remote video editing set up with fast internet
- Sharp website // easy to navigate
- Has a true passion for video editing, storytelling, and content creation
- Clients or credits give you trust in the editor (IMDB Credits, reputation with TV networks, small business, or high profile corporate clients)
- Professional portfolio with variety of different video edits showing strength in storytelling, pacing, rhythm, and style that fits your job
- Positive testimonials from clients and colleagues
- Strong knowledge of technology and editing platforms (Adobe Premiere Pro or Avid Media Composer – These are the two industry editing platforms)
- They communicate well from the start
What you must be ready to provide your next hire:
- Provide Day Rate with Freelancer Contract paperwork (you get what you pay for, and skilled professionals will always demand a higher rate)
- Project length
- Hours on job per day
- Transparency upfront about job expectations
- Clear outline of job
- Have the media on a digital cloud ready (Camera Footage, Audio, Scripts/Documents, Etc.)
