Shooter/editors here are not just hands on keyboards executing notes from a producer.  We don’t only welcome your input, but at times need it.  We include shooter/editors in the scripting and pre-production process to to get the best possible outcomes in post.  You’re the first to know when the video is dragging, so we want you to call that out and try trimming a few bytes from that interview section.

• 4+ years of editing experience in Adobe Premiere Pro

• 4+ years of shooting experience, preferably with some experience in field or verite style shooting
