Volunteer Video Editor — Post-Production

Filled
Crew Remote Pay: VOLUNTEER Closes 25 Oct 2026

Seeking a dedicated volunteer editor for "Zero Signal," an ambitious post-apocalyptic 20-30 minute short film.

This is a VOLUNTEER role specifically designed for aspiring editors looking to build a professional showreel portfolio.


Filming is tentatively scheduled for September 25th, 2026 over 3–7 days depending on scene length; start date may shift, but 2 weeks' advance notice will be given if so.

Footage will be handed over shortly after the shoot wraps, with an informal turnaround discussed together based on your availability.

The film is a single-character, dialogue-light survival story, meaning the edit will lean heavily on pacing, sound design, and atmosphere to carry the emotional weight — a great opportunity to show off editing craft rather than just cutting dialogue scenes.

As a collaborative, beginner-friendly project, you'll have creative input on pacing, sound design, and colour direction, working closely with me throughout the process rather than editing in isolation.

While unpaid upfront, you will receive full credit and a copy of the finished cut for your portfolio, and a contract for future backend royalties if the project generates revenue.

A contract will also be made regarding intellectual property that you MUST digitally sign. This is to protect all footage being distributed by yourself until it has been released by us. (A soft NDA basically). But after the movie is released you are more than welcome to showcase it.

Requirements:

No prior professional editing experience required, but familiarity with an NLE (Premiere Pro, DaVinci Resolve, Final Cut, etc.) is expected.

Must have access to your own editing software/hardware capable of handling 4K footage.

Comfortable working from raw footage, log/flat colour profiles, and basic colour grading (or willing to learn).

Must be reliable and able to communicate regularly on progress, as this is a remote/asynchronous collaboration.

Experience with sound design is a strong plus, given the film's minimal-dialogue, atmosphere-driven style.
