Staff photographers will supervise interns on visual storytelling techniques.

Interns will assist in the production of video stories, including non-linear editing and writing story summaries and scripts for broadcast.

WJLA - Commercial Production Department

Hi SMAD people!

I currently am an editor for WJLA's Commercial Production Department in Arlington, VA. It's a fantastic job making advertisements for the station including local businesses, organizations and non-profits. I am mainly in my edit suite most of the day, but from time to time get to help out with studio or on-site shoots. I will be leaving my job to work at a filmmaking school in Haiti for about 4 months. I am looking for someone to take over my job ASAP as I am leaving in two weeks. This position would most likely start out as freelance/temporary, with a strong possibility of turning permanent, if I end up staying longer in Haiti or find different work, or if you really outshine yourself! The position would require pretty strong skills in Final Cut and After Effects. The majority of the spots we create are strongly graphic and textual, but the editor should be familiar with different types of video formats, HD standards, green screening, motion techniques and encoding. However, as long as you are familiar with the basics there is room to learn skills as you go.. I love this job as I am given a lot of creative freedom, and am often given just a logo and voice over and asked to "make something out of nothing".

If this sounds like an opportunity you or someone you know may be interested in, please contact me soon. That would be great if you also have a demo reel or some example you can share.
Looking forward to hearing from some great JMU grads!
