Deliver on‑brand video and audio that showcase Eskwelabs’ courses, instructors, and learners, up to and including cinematic trailers for new courses. Combine existing media infrastructure (b‑roll, LUTs, caption presets, motion templates, music stems, AI prompts) to create new deliverables—or expand the infrastructure with reusable assets and templates.

Your work will contribute to the following outcomes:
‍1. Compelling highlight videos strengthen community, increase watch time and shares, and make classes and graduations more memorable.
‍
2. Cinematic trailers and mini‑stories raise brand perception and awareness, helping Eskwelabs stand out and attract prospective learners and partners.

3. A consistent sonic identity (theme music and stingers) enhances program energy and event presence while making our brand instantly recognizable.

4. Building reusable media libraries (b‑roll, interview bites, motion packages, caption presets, music stems) speeds production and keeps visual/sonic identity coherent across channels.

A. Course/Community Highlight Reels
Create short‑form reels for social and medium‑length highlights for end‑of‑class or graduations. Edit for pacing, clarity, and emotion; include captions, lower‑thirds, and end cards.

‍Example: Produce a 30–45s vertical reel for social plus an 8 minute graduation highlight with branded intro/outro.
‍
‍B. Marketing & Public Communications
Craft trailers and mini‑docs that dramatize learner outcomes, instructor expertise, and partner impact. Use on‑brand typography/motion and safe‑area framing.

‍Example: Deliver a 30–45s event opener trailer, a 15s cutdown for ads, and a 6–8s bumper for talks.

C. Presentations & Reports.
Compose or curate original theme music and short stingers that are safe for multi‑platform use. Provide loopable versions and stems (drums, bass, melody) for flexible edits.

‍Example: A 90–120s theme with :06/:10/:15 edits, plus three 2–4s transition stingers.

This is a task‑based, production‑oriented media role spanning editing, motion design, and basic audio production (with optional filming). Work arrives via tickets with defined scope, priority, and due dates. The creator ships polished, platform‑ready deliverables and, when feasible, converts ad‑hoc outputs into reusable templates, motion packages, caption presets, and music stems. AI tools are used for transcription, captioning, rough cut assistance, music ideation, and cleanup—with human QA and licensing discipline. Success is measured by speed, quality, reuse, stakeholder satisfaction, and audience engagement.

This track is ideal for anyone who enjoys visual and sonic storytelling, pacing, and emotion. If you’re exploring Eskwelabs Innovation Fellows (EIF) options and are excited by how video and sound can make ideas clearer and more compelling, this is a strong fit.

You might come from backgrounds such as:
- Film, Multimedia, and Communication: film production, multimedia arts, communication, journalism, or broadcasting.graphic design, multimedia arts, information design, marketing communications, or fine arts.

- Technology and Data: computer science or analytics students who enjoy post‑production tooling, automation, and workflow design.

What matters most is your attitude and curiosity. You should have a love for crafting clear, engaging edits with strong captions and sound, openness to feedback, and interest in learning AI‑assisted post workflows. You’ll thrive if you enjoy experimenting with prompts, templates, and timing to make stories “click.”

The task-based designer system runs on a simple and transparent workflow. All tasks will be listed in a shared spreadsheet that includes the task title, type, deadline, deliverable format, and the name of the person to whom it should be submitted. Designers check this spreadsheet regularly to see available tasks. When they find one they want to take, they simply claim it by adding their name in the “Assigned To” column and updating the task status to “In Progress.” Once claimed, the designer is responsible for completing and submitting the deliverable by the stated deadline.

Creators are expected to work independently but communicate proactively: if a task’s scope or requirements are unclear, they can message the requester or Brand Manager for clarification. Once the task is ready, they submit their deliverables by following the submission instructions in the sheet (e.g., project file link, exports folder, caption files, and—if relevant—music stems). They should mark the task as “Submitted” when complete, and the approver or Brand Manager will review it and update its status to “Approved” or “Revisions Needed.”

A Brand Manager oversees the overall workflow. They meet with task‑based media creators twice a month to check in on progress, review feedback, and demo new ways of working—especially how to use templates, LUTs, caption presets, motion packages, and music workflows efficiently. This keeps everyone aligned with Eskwelabs’ creative direction and ensures continuous learning while maintaining high standards of quality.

You will be judged based on the quality and speed of your deliverables. Strong performance also includes platform‑fit (ratios, hooks, captions), consistent brand motion/typography and sonic identity, well‑managed rights/consents, and clean handoff of project files, exports, and documentation.
