Possible trainee Assistant Editor Position

Di0genes

Dublin based production is looking for a potential trainee assistant editor in the near future.

The position may be for a few weeks, but could conceivable run longer, and would start nearly immediately.

Candidates Must;

Have a working knowledge of Avid Media Composer (Not Final Cut Pro, Not Adobe Premier, Avid) They do not need to be fully and completely technically savvy but should be able to, for example;

Load sound and picture.

Mark up sound.

Synch rushes.

Create Scene Bins.

make simple sequences

(Please no time wasters, if this is something you think you can blag your way through you'll not even make it past the phone call)

The candidate would have to be Dublin based, extremely punctual, and have a great sense of attention to detail.

Please PM me, giving a brief outline of your experience, if you are interested.

(Mods I'm going to cross post this to the Film Production forum as well)

Yes it is a paid position. I really wouldn't advertise if it wasn't.

Fair enough - just helps to state it as there's a lot of people out there who think trainee=unpaid these days.

Depressing isn't it? Because we expect the person to at least have some avid experience, and won't need hand holding for the basic stuff, we are happy to pay for this.

No one interested?

Hi Di0genes,

To be honest I'm not sure I'm up to the required standard but I'll let you decide that. I work with Pinnacle Studio 14 Ultimate which, as you may well know, is a consumer suite produced under avid. As I am a student(Just finished LC, planning on Computer Science or Digital Media) I have been using what was at hand which has meant SD miniDV and HDD consumer cams. I shoot sporting events, and music/plays for the school and for a friends band. All very entry level but a 3CCD 1080P + is way out of my budget.

Also related I'm an amateur DJ with a big interest in music(bit of an audiophile). I'll happily spend a few hours with headphones on lipsyncing(video and audio, not singing). With regards to still I have a fundamental knowledge of Photoshop. I live in D14 and can be into the city(Stephens green) in under 15 minutes on the bike. Willing to commute up to 25KM each way if necessary.

This a preview for my Zombie Walk 2010 Video(Excuse the cheesy soundtrack):

If you feel I may be a candidate for the position please let me know and I'd be glad to provide and details you require.
Regards,
Lethal.
