This role is focused on crafting a short, cinematic opening film for a diving centre’s website, designed to immerse viewers in the emotional journey of a first underwater breath. The project requires transforming provided raw surface and underwater footage into a 20–24 second film that feels intimate, artistic, and evocative, rather than a standard tourism promotion. The narrative should guide viewers from curiosity and hesitation to the transformative experience of breathing underwater, with the diver’s identity kept mostly anonymous to encourage audience identification.

The final piece will be a key visual element for a new website, with a delivery deadline in October 2026 and the possibility of future projects.

Deliverables

- Edit a 20–24 second cinematic film using provided raw footage (surface and underwater)
- Develop a narrative arc from curiosity to wonder and freedom, focusing on the emotional impact of the first breath underwater
- Apply advanced colour grading to enhance mood and atmosphere
- Design immersive sound, including authentic scuba breathing and bubble effects
- Ensure the diver remains mostly anonymous throughout the film
- Deliver the final video in web-optimized formats by the specified deadline





Requirements

- Proven experience in cinematic video editing, especially with short-form or branded content
- Strong skills in colour grading and sound design for immersive storytelling
- Proficiency with industry-standard editing software (e.g., Adobe Premiere Pro, DaVinci Resolve, After Effects)
- Ability to interpret creative briefs and translate emotion into visual narrative
- Experience working with underwater or nature footage is highly desirable
- Excellent attention to detail and ability to meet tight deadlines
- Strong communication skills and openness to feedback
- Availability to deliver the project by October 2026
- Remote work; candidates from any location are welcome
