About the Job

We're looking for an experienced and talented dcumentary editor who is passionate about making powerful, impactful, cinematic long form videos.


Our channel - Behind the Food TV - documents our host Al's journey to become a better cook by meeting and learning from the best chefs and pitmasters on the planet, and telling their powerful stories along the way. Think Anthony Bourdain meets Netflix's Chef's Table, but published on YouTube.


We currently have 2 series - "I Got Schooled" which are 45-60 minute cinematic videos with cooking lessons and deep documentary storytelling intertwined, and "I Got Fed", which are 10-20 minute tasting videos where our host sits with the chef or pitmaster and tastes the entire menu discussing each dish in detail. We are launching a 3rd series next week called "I Got Candid" which will be a podcast format with these chefs and pitmasters and other food industry VIPs, and we want to launch a 4th series which will be a cooking video series with our host trying to use what he's learned on this journey when cooking back at home.


You'l be joining a team that includes a DP with extensive experience as an editor, a producer and the host/EP.


Ideal Candidate

You are the right person for the job if you have specific experience editing both documentary-style videos and food or cooking videos using the Adobe suite of products to create beautiful, epic videos. You'll be an expert in multi-cam editing, and you will be adept at matching colors between different cameras, audio levels from different speakers, and incorporating music to enhance the dramatic nature of your videos. And you have such high standards for your own work that you won't require a lot of direction to make your videos epic.


How to Apply

This is important - your first test is if you are detail oriented enough to follow the below directions. We will only look at applications that have done the following:


First - please watch at least one of the sample videos to get a feel for our content. Then, with your application please provide 3 or more examples of videos you've edited that demonstrate your talent and experience making videos like ours. For each video please tell us what you were given to work with, what your approach was, what challenges you overcame to make the video, and why you picked it. Please also include a description of your editing station (hardware and software), and let us know what you'd expect as a pay rate for this kind of work.


If you can't fit it all in to the space YT Jobs allows, just put it in a document and include the link in your application.
