## Short-Form Video Creator for Retro Gaming Brand – 2 Videos/Day Please watch this video for what this job is for: We are looking for a creative short-form video/content creator to produce daily social media content for our retro gaming brand. We will physically ship you the products to create content with. You will initially receive a Nintendo 3DS-family console. If the relationship works well, we will continue sending additional gaming products for you to use in future content. This is intended to be a long-term position. ### What You'll Be Doing The primary goal is to create 2 original short-form videos per day (approximately 60 videos per month) You can batch-create and schedule content ahead of time. You do not necessarily need to film two videos every single day as long as we consistently have two quality videos scheduled each day. Content will primarily revolve around: Nintendo 3DS Retro gaming Gameplay Gaming nostalgia Product-focused videos Trending gaming topics Creative/viral short-form concepts You can film inside, outside, at home or anywhere else that produces interesting content. We want someone who can be creative and work independently rather than requiring us to provide a complete script for every video. ### Viral Content Research A major part of the position is researching successful retro-gaming content.

Our aspirational target is to consistently create videos capable of reaching approximately 30,000–60,000+ views, although obviously not every video will reach that number. ### Platforms Content will be distributed across: TikTok Instagram Reels YouTube Shorts Facebook Snapchat when appropriate We use Later to schedule content across multiple platforms at once. ### Editing We primarily use CapCut [ You will get access to premium access if you need it] You should be comfortable with: Short-form video editing Captions Text overlays Hooks Cutting/pacing footage Basic audio/music Exporting videos Exporting captions/transcripts We also use ChatGPT/AI to help turn video transcripts into social media descriptions, captions and related copy. Put the .srt captions export from Capcut into chatgpt and ask it to make a title / description for social media shorts/reels ### Raw Content Library In addition to publishing the finished videos, you will upload the original/raw content to your assigned Dropbox folder. Files must remain organized. Example structure: Console Model Content Category Video Files should also follow a consistent naming convention containing information such as: Number + Console + Color + Content Type + Game + Date This allows us to build a searchable library of original gaming footage over time. ### What We're Looking For You should: Understand TikTok/Reels/Shorts Know how to create strong hooks Understand short-form pacing Be comfortable filming physical products Be comfortable appearing behind the camera and creating original footage Understand gaming/retro-gaming culture Be able to independently research viral content Know CapCut or similar editing software Be organized Meet a consistent publishing schedule Be willing to receive physical gaming products * Be interested in a long-term working relationship Experience creating gaming content is a major advantage. ### Deliverables Expected output: 2 short-form videos per day / approximately 60 videos per month Each piece of content should be prepared for distribution across the appropriate social platforms.
