Love motion pictures and visual storytelling? Want to help craft **educational videos** about design that are every bit as **high-end** as what National Geographic does for the natural world?

Thatโs a big audience, hence why weโre looking for **serious talent**.\n\nThe Interaction Design Foundation is the biggest online design school globally. Founded in 2002, we have over 80,000 graduates and counting. We're **market leaders** in online design education because **the world's leading experts** create our content and because we're specialized in design. Whatโs more, with over 1.5 million monthly visitors, weโre at the forefront of providing premier design education to such organizations as IBM and SAP, as well as thousands of other members. Our ever-growing community now needs a first-class Video Editor and Visual Storyteller to **help each of them along their learning journey**.\n\nVisual storytelling is a huge part of our winning formula: **to reach our members on that magic level where theyโre captivated to complete their course while feeling utterly inspired every step of the way**. Itโs about bringing entire worlds of knowledge so close that our members can taste and digest each morsel of delicious learning *effortlessly* and thatโand this is the big oneโthey stay *addicted* to learning!\n\nYou will, therefore, become **an essential part** of our team, someone who is making a direct impact on not only the growth and reputation of our foundation but also the whole world of education and beyond!\n\nThis is a paid **full-time** position which is **location independent**: Youโre free to work from wherever you want in the world. You will have regular video-based contact with your colleagues and get to meet them physically on team trips.\n\n# Responsibilities\n
Youโll be working closely with our UX design experts, founders and other team members to **make the most inspiring and engaging lesson videos** for our ever-growing catalog of courses. Videos are the best way to educate, and we have the *best* instructors: people who live and breathe UX design and many associated subjects. That means youโll need to produce the best material to support what theyโre teaching and employ all the tricks you know to **make this magic a reality!**\n\nYouโll feel energized as you take your skillset to an even higher level among a **highly ambitious and supportive team**. Your expertise and eagle eye can help us refine our visual presence yet further and improve our video style guide. In fact, your sheer talent and eye for detail will be a big part in shaping the future of our video production andโby associationโof design itself!\n\nSo, **what do our videos look like**? Well, hereโs [an example of whatโs called a โdesign storyโ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WTYXDNZ8Nko). In it, we filmed various airports and compared some aspects of their designs. As you can see, educational videos are not merely โtalking heads with slidesโ.\n\n[This next video](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-XvfcBpwVGY) shows you what our educational videosโbased on interviews and lecturesโlook and feel like. Youโll also notice how much we put into fine details: e.g., actually making a phone out of cardboard specifically for this video. \n\n[And this third video](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4ZRzJTczMCE) shows *just how much* emphasis and effort we put into animations, footage and on-screen text to give the ultimate learning experience:\n\n So, if after seeing these videos you think โI could do better than that!โ, then weโd love to hear from you! \n\n# Requirements\n* You have worked as a professional full-time video editor for at least 4 years.\n\n* You have solid experience in working with Adobe Premiere Pro and Adobe After Effects.\n\n* You can push video learning โone step beyondโ, so your animations, illustrations, on-screen text and other visual effects work in perfect harmony to complement each instructorโs material and produce the โwowโ factor. If you can make your own awesome animations, thatโs even better!\n\n* You can place an entire, self-contained learning reality right in the mind of each member so all they have to do is watch and learnโฆ and then feel extra-hungry to get out there and apply their new-found knowledge.\n\n* You have a love affair with the world of storytelling in film and impressing viewers through every frame of the journey.\n\n* You know visual storytelling is more than the sum of its parts, and the overall effect is vital.\n\n* And you have an ultra-sharp eye for the parts that make up the whole, right down to those finest details that are extra important to you. So, you catch any glitches, problems with continuity and other imperfections such as lighting and audio-related issues. You cringe at the idea of even the smallest rough edge creeping in to ruin a frame or make a transition jerky.\n\n* You love an environment of strivingโand stretchingโfor perfection. Youโre supremely competent and confident in working independently to produce the best material, and you know and love what a perfect product looks like.\n\n* You understand how othersโ input can sometimes help you get the distance you need to see those odd bits that can flaw an otherwise-perfect result.\n\n* And, last but not least, you can see the world in terms of moving pictures, of powerful narratives waiting to be told and of matching our instructorsโ zest and energy with your own natural passion for bringing ideas to lifeโฆ and serving it all up in a way that screams extra care, extra value, extra-super choice to our membersโฆ and everyone they tell about what they got from us. \n\nPlease mention the words **PLUNGE PLEDGE ROBUST** when applying to show you read the job post completely (#RMTguMTE4LjE0NS4xMTQ=).

When applying for jobs, you should NEVER have to pay to apply. You should also NEVER have to pay to buy equipment which they then pay you back for later. Also never pay for trainings you have to do. Those are scams! NEVER PAY FOR ANYTHING! Posts that link to pages with "how to work online" are also scams. Don't use them or pay for them. Also always verify you're actually talking to the company in the job post and not an imposter. A good idea is to check the domain name for the site/email and see if it's the actual company's main domain name. Scams in remote work are rampant, be careful! Read more to avoid scams. When clicking on the button to apply above, you will leave Remote OK and go to the job application page for that company outside this site.
