Enamoured Iris

Last time we advertised for an editor’s position, we received over 300 applicants. With an average showreel duration of 120 seconds, that’s 600 minutes of footage. Reviewing all of them is the equivalent of watching James Cameron’s Avatar 3.7 times. That’s 3.7 times too many.

In order to filter applicants, we’ve taken a creative approach.

Rather than submit a resume or showreel, you’ll submit a short video of yourself answering the following five questions before submitting it via the below form. Your video submission should be no greater than three minutes in length. The full process shouldn’t take longer than 10 minutes!

2. What is a unique skill you possess?

3. What is your favourite film of all time?

4. Why do you want to work at Enamoured Iris?

Enamoured Iris is on the hunt for three freelance Video Editors to take the post-production lead for client campaigns. Working on a per-job basis, the successful storytellers chosen for this position will interpret client briefs to deliver high end content that immortalises brands.

Equal parts technical and creative, this challenging position requires someone with an open mind to learn, experiment and innovate. Owning the project throughout post-production until the final edit has been locked, you’ll balance client specifications with your own creative flair. As this is a freelance role you must be able to learn and adapt, jumping into a project quickly and adapting to the client brief. 

A collaborative role in an intensely visual medium, you must possess strong visual storytelling skills and highly developed senses of colour, composition and design, as well as a keen understanding of current design and style trends. You must also be an effective communicator, capable of articulating your approach to production team members and justifying your decisions in the editing room.

You must have the ability to inspire and collaborate with a team of producers, creative editors, graphic artists and clients in the development of content that is engaging, entertaining, on message, and on brand for both the client and Enamoured Iris. 

There are three open positions for this application. Applications close March 1st 2021.
