At Wistia, video is the heartbeat of our company. We harness the power of video to tell the story of our products, educate and inspire our customers, build our brand, and even to communicate internally. Our mission is to empower every business to make a significant impact through video, and our own video content is central to achieving this goal.
As our video team continues to grow, we're on the lookout for a passionate and creative Video Producer! If you thrive on every aspect of video production—from brainstorming and conceptualizing ideas to lighting, shooting, directing talent, and mastering the art of post-production—this is your dream role.
In this role, you'll be responsible for planning shoots and bringing scripts to life through the production process—all while meeting the requirements of key stakeholders across the business. You’ll work closely with other folks on the Content & Creative team to produce a range of video content: in-app tutorials, product videos, customer testimonials, videos for social media, videos about making videos, blog content, and more!
Key Responsibilities
-
Produce awesome videos. From pre-production all the way through post-production, you'll be responsible for guiding Wistia videos from script to a final product. That means you’ll manage production schedules, help cast videos, wrangle props, light sets, run camera and sound, help direct talent, and edit your video projects.
-
Collaborate with teams across the business. You'll be responsible for understanding our business goals and working cross-functionally to achieve them from a video perspective. You’ll participate in creative briefings and provide status updates on various media assets to ensure your video projects are on track and on message.
-
Deliver creative, on-brand assets. Work with the Content & Creative team to maintain the quality—and push the boundaries—of the Wistia brand with video across all of our content channels.
Qualifications
The best candidates will have:
- 3-5+ years of demonstrated professional filmmaking, and video production experience,
- A proven track record of delivering video content on time and on budget.
- Technical understanding of key aspects of video production including a variety of cinema camera gear, lighting, framing, and sound.
- Experience with directing folks on camera.
- A deep knowledge of Adobe Premiere and excellent editing chops.
- Experience with Adobe After Effects is not required, but a plus.
- A love for the medium. From personal to professional videos, your work should be an indicator that you have a passion for video.
Please submit with your application:
- Your reel or other examples of your video work along with any supporting materials to illustrate your involvement
- Two videos that have inspired your technique (can be links to YouTube videos, videos elsewhere on the internet)
- Two of your favorite funny videos or scenes from films (can be links to YouTube videos, videos elsewhere on the internet)
