We are looking for a volunteer video editor to develop a short video highlighting the work of indigo foundation grassroots partners in Africa, Asia and the Pacific. This is a time limited assignment that provides an opportunity to contribute to the work of a small, innovative and independent community development organisation and to produce a video to be shared widely as part of indigo foundation’s 20th anniversary fundraising events.
If you have experience in video production or editing, we would love to hear from you!
Responsibilities
indigo foundation is celebrating our 20th anniversary this year. As part of this we want to produce a short video honouring and showcasing the work of our community partners and thanking our supporters and volunteers in Australia. The Video Editor will be responsible for producing a short video that will be shared with supporters and featured at our upcoming ‘flavours of indigo’ at-home events.
Content for the video will be drawn from images and videos on file, short videos from our community partners overseas (shot primarily on smartphones) and short clips from our team in Australia. The role of the Video Editor will be to compile this material into a 2 – 3 minute video.
Key tasks of the volunteer include:
- Working with our team to devise the format and story of the video
- Cutting and rearranging video clips and images
- Captioning clips if needed, with translation support from other indigo foundation volunteers
- Selecting appropriate music
- Creating opening titles and section titles where needed
- Finalising the video for uploading to YouTube
The video editor will start ASAP.
