We’re seeking a creative and reliable Remote Video Editor to join the post-production team for Love in the Dark, a new independent reality dating and social experiment.
The editor will initially work with footage from our recorded Zoom episodes/panels, transforming raw recordings into polished, entertaining episodes ready for YouTube, Patreon and social media. As production expands, there will be opportunities to edit future in-person episodes and additional seasons.
Responsibilities:
• Edit multi-person Zoom recordings into engaging, cohesive episodes
• Remove dead space, technical issues and unnecessary pauses
• Cut between participants to highlight reactions, chemistry, humor, tension and important conversations
• Add titles, lower thirds, cast names, transitions and other graphics when needed
• Incorporate music, sound effects and other elements that enhance the reality-TV feel
• Balance and clean dialogue/audio
• Create polished full-length episodes for YouTube/Patreon
• Potentially create shorter clips, teasers and promotional moments for Instagram and TikTok
• Work collaboratively with the Executive Producer on revisions and creative direction
• Maintain confidentiality surrounding unreleased episodes, cast members and storylines
Who We’re Looking For:
Someone who understands that reality television is about more than simply cutting footage together. We want an editor who can recognize the moments that make viewers laugh, react, pick sides, become invested in the cast and want to watch the next episode.
Experience editing reality TV, dating shows, podcasts, interviews, YouTube series or other unscripted content is preferred, but not required.
We are also open to film students, recent graduates and emerging editors looking to build their portfolio and credits, provided you have strong editing skills and can show examples of your work.
Position: Freelance / Project-Based
Location: Remote
Production: Love in the Dark
Genre: Reality Dating / Social Experiment
Future Opportunities: Additional episodes, in-person production and future seasons
Please apply with a brief introduction, examples/reel of previous editing work, the editing software you use, your availability and your rate or expected compensation per episode/project.
We’re looking to build a relationship with an editor who can grow with the show — not simply complete one edit.
