WHO ARE WE:
EatSleep Media is a production company making anything from social ads to documentary films such as TOSH which can be viewed on Amazon Prime.
Over the years we’ve toured Wales, talking to football fans and grassroots heroes about their love of the game for the Football Association of Wales.
Launched the FAW’s RedWall+ platform which houses documentaries that have been nominated for RTS Cymru Awards, mini documentaries on clubs and unsung heroes.
We’ve filmed behind the scenes of a brilliant BBC crime drama.
Worked with Sport Wales, Youth Sport Trust, and covered BTCC touring car races talking to the drivers and behind-the-scenes personalities for a TV programme.
And we’ve created BBC radio documentaries on a range of subjects from a cafe that is Wales’ first neurodivergent sanctuary, reimagining life for people with disabilities post Covid, a talkSPORT documentary examining athletes who made the top of their sport from a refugee background and made a whole series of shows for a UK national radio station while, literally, on the run.
We use professional broadcast cameras, audio and editing equipment so all of our content really shines.
We do authentic, we do personality, we do creative, we do innovative, and we bloody well enjoy ourselves while we’re doing it!
WHO ARE WE LOOKING FOR:
We need freelance editors with a gift for telling stories. You need to be able to turn any given shooting brief and footage into a beautiful video, bursting with personality.
You need to be comfortable working to tight deadlines on a variety of projects for high profile clients with the flexibility to work from anywhere at any time.
We need quality, clarity, efficiency and bucketfuls of top class skills and ideas.
But, we’re also prepared to help nurture your talents.
WHO ARE YOU:
You’ll have at least 2 years experience which includes editing with Adobe Premiere and other relevant software such as Photoshop, After Effects, etc.
You’ll have your own laptop and have access to the internet. You may be required to attend some production meetings so will need to be able to travel at times.
You’ll be organised and efficient in sharing and editing footage.
You’ll need attention to detail and be able to work independently while also acting on direction and feedback from your project manager and our clients.
You need to know the ins and outs of archiving material and will be able to put your finger on exactly the clip we need at a moment’s notice.
You need to have ideas and also listen and be able to quickly act on feedback.
You will understand the need to maintain a visual style for a specific company but also be creative in your editing approach.
Speaking Welsh would be an added bonus.
THE SAUCE:
EatSleep Media operates under a number of founding principles.
Build it and they will come…
The videos, programmes, films and podcasts we make are all high quality, engaging, entertaining and informative. We don’t do stale, corporate or ‘same old same old’. We constantly push production boundaries to be more awesome each time.
We promise to grow you, develop you, give you ownership of a variety of high profile productions with the support and guidance you need, when you need it.
Don’t be a dick!
The way we treat our clients, the people who feature in our content and each other. We’ve got no time for negativity and bad vibes. Our approach to every person is the same as our approach to every project - upbeat, positive and supportive.
