Video Producer at The Real Deal in New York City

Job description

• This hybrid position requires a presence in New York
• The Real Deal is seeking a highly skilled Video Producer / Shooter / Editor to join Brand Studio and help create premium branded video content for digital, social and custom content campaigns.
• This is a hands-on production and post-production role for someone with strong technical filmmaking skills and a sophisticated eye for editing. Working alongside the Director of Brand Studio, this person will help translate creative concepts into polished, visually compelling video—from production through final delivery.
• The Director of Brand Studio will typically serve as the creative lead and director on set. The Video Producer / Shooter / Editor will be a key creative partner responsible for executing that vision through cinematography, production expertise and especially post-production.
• We’re looking for someone who understands that great post-production goes beyond assembling footage: performance, pacing, sound, music, B-roll, graphics and visual rhythm all work together to elevate the final story.

Responsibilities

• Production
• Serve as a lead camera operator and technical production partner on Brand Studio shoots.
• Collaborate with the Director of Brand Studio on shot planning, visual approach and production execution.
• Translate creative direction into thoughtful cinematography and visual coverage.
• Capture interviews, properties, architecture, lifestyle, events and documentary-style footage.
• Build and operate professional camera, lighting and audio packages.
• Make informed technical decisions around camera settings, lenses, lighting, audio and production workflow.
• Anticipate coverage needs and capture the B-roll, establishing shots, details and transitions necessary to build a polished edit.
• Troubleshoot technical and production challenges efficiently on location.
• Help coordinate equipment, crew and production logistics when necessary.
• Maintain a high technical standard across productions ranging from efficient small-crew shoots to premium productions.
• Post-Production
• Edit premium branded videos from raw footage through final delivery.
• Work from creative direction, interview material, briefs and production notes to develop strong first cuts.
• Shape interviews and footage into clear, engaging edits with strong pacing and visual structure.
• Make thoughtful editorial choices around selects, B-roll, music, sound design, graphics and transitions.
• Collaborate closely with the Director of Brand Studio throughout the edit while bringing independent editorial judgment and solutions to the process.
• Understand both the narrative and visual intent of a project and translate that direction into the edit.
• Create multiple deliverables from a single production, including approximately 2–5 minute hero videos, 60–90 second edits and short-form social cutdowns.
• Reframe and adapt content thoughtfully for 16:9, 9:16, 1:1 and other platform-specific formats.
• Handle color correction, audio cleanup, music editing, graphics integration and finishing.
• Collaborate with motion designers or other post-production specialists when projects require advanced graphics or animation.
• Incorporate internal and client feedback efficiently while maintaining creative and technical consistency.
• Prepare final masters and platform-specific deliverables.
• Workflow & Media Management
• Maintain organized Premiere projects, footage and post-production files.
• Follow established media-management, backup and archival workflows.
• Prepare projects so another editor can easily open, understand and continue the work.
• Help establish efficient production and post-production workflows as Brand Studio's video capabilities grow.
• Maintain consistent technical and creative standards across the studio's video output.

Requirements

• 4+ years of professional video production and editing experience.
• Advanced proficiency in Adobe Premiere Pro or comparable professional editing software.
• Strong portfolio demonstrating both cinematography and substantive editing work.
• Strong command of editing fundamentals including pacing, interview editing, music, sound, B-roll selection and visual storytelling.
• Professional experience with cinema and mirrorless camera systems such as Sony FX-series, Canon Cinema EOS, Blackmagic or comparable systems.
• Strong knowledge of lenses, lighting, composition, exposure and professional audio.
• Experience working with Log footage and professional post-production workflows.
