Requirements

How to Apply: One Required Step

We manage a high volume of applications on behalf of our client. To help identify candidates who are the right fit, we ask all applicants to complete the following short task as part of their application. Applications without a response to this task will not be reviewed.

The Task:

A video was originally scheduled to publish next Tuesday at noon. It's currently Thursday afternoon. Here's the situation:

• The editor just flagged that the assigned creative lead hasn't returned notes on the rough cut. The cut has been sitting for 3 days

• The video includes a brand integration that the sponsor requires be reviewed and approved by them before upload. That approval process takes 48 hours once submitted

• Sound mix and color finishing are each a half-day turn once picture is locked

Paste your response directly into the application's cover letter field. There is no right or wrong format. We're evaluating how you think through a real post production crunch scenario.
