Motion-Graphics / Documentary Editor

🎬 Hiring: Motion-Graphics / Documentary Editor — Cold Contact Project details: Cold Contact is a new faceless documentary channel about UFO and unexplained-aerial cases — sober "true crime of the sky." One documented, unresolved case per film, opened like a classified dossier and closed with "you decide." Every episode is built from archival stills, licensed footage, maps and motion graphics, graded to feel like a real declassified case file. NO 2D animation. NO character animation. NO whiteboard. But this isn't someone's side project. The channel is produced by Tulipán Tündér, a Hungarian production house running since 2013: • 14 productions, 1,000,000+ total audience • Feature films + a TV series on national television (TV2) • International exhibitions — Banksy, NASA "Gateway to Space", Avatar You'd build a brand-new channel from episode #1 with people who ship real productions at scale — not a first-timer figuring it out. WHY WORK WITH US (not the big faceless studios) Big channels pay well but treat editors like a render farm. With us: • DIRECT ACCESS — you work straight with the producer (György). Real feedback, fast answers, no faceless middleman. • NO REVISION HELL — the creative system is already built. A fact-checked pilot script, a full Visual Identity Bible, a shot-by-shot storyboard and a VO spec are waiting for you. You get a brief, not a guessing game. • FOUNDER-TEAM STATUS — join at episode #1, grow into lead editor / channel producer as we scale. • CREATIVE OWNERSHIP — you own the look of every film from day one. Pitch ideas, shape the visual language, earn performance bonuses. THE ROLE • Edit 4–6 long-form documentary episodes / month (10–12 min each) • Cold, filmic colour grade across stills and archival footage — one consistent LUT, grain, vignette • Motion graphics in After Effects: redaction-bar reveals, CASE FILE stamps, evidence tags, map/route draws, radar sweeps, timestamp and coordinate overlays, the audio-waveform visual • Source-cut and mix archival footage with stills for visual variety • Sound design tight to the narration — drone beds, and silence used deliberately You are: • A documentary / motion-graphics editor (Premiere Pro or DaVinci Resolve + After Effects) • Strong on cinematic pacing, colour grading and clean typography • NOT a character animator, whiteboard/explainer animator, or a fast-cut gaming / MrBeast-style retention editor Bonus (not required): AI tools in your workflow — upscaling, restoration, generative fill on archival stills, AI b-roll for texture inserts. We move fast and we like editors who use AI to ship faster without losing the handmade documentary feel.
