Videographer & Editor - Content Creator

About us

Whimsikal is a media laboratory that seeks to uplift and educate. We are a creative agency built entirely around the lifestyle sector: hotels, restaurants, bars, shopping centres, sport and festivals.

We stand for authenticity, fearlessness, zeal and heart. We are small by design, which means the work you make is visible and yours.

The role

You own production. Everything we put out, you shoot and you cut.

This is the only production role in the agency, so the range is wide. One week you are capturing a kitchen at service. The next you are on a hotel floor for a launch, or on a mall concourse for a seasonal activation, or covering a festival. Most of it is short form, aware of what is working on platform right now, and turned around fast.

You work alongside our Creative Director, who holds the brand standard across every client, and with the marketing team who build the content calendars you shoot to.

If you would rather be behind a camera and in a timeline than in a strategy deck, this is the job.

What you will do

• Shoot video across client venues and locations, handling camera, framing, lighting and audio
• Edit, grade and deliver finished assets for Meta and TikTok, including vertical formats and cutdowns
• Shoot stills where a brief calls for it, covering food, interiors, events and portraits
• Work from content calendars and reference decks, turning briefs into finished pieces
• Capture real time content on site during peak periods, including service nights and events
• Manage footage properly: file structure, backups, and an asset library the team can actually search
• Feed format and trend ideas back into the content calendar rather than waiting to be briefed
• Plan your own shoot schedule across concurrent client accounts

What we are looking for

• At least 2 years shooting and editing professionally, agency or in house
• A portfolio or reel. This matters more than a CV or a qualification.
• Confident operating solo. You understand exposure, framing and audio, and you can shoot without supervision.
• Strong editing in Premiere, Final Cut, DaVinci or CapCut. Show us the cut, not the software.
• Colour grading to a consistent standard. With no one else in production, the look of everything we deliver rests with you.
• Able to work fast without the quality dropping, since consistency across accounts is the whole job
• Comfortable directing people who are not performers, since you will be filming chefs, staff and real guests mid service
• Comfortable working in live venues without getting in the way of a running business
• Willing to work evenings and weekends when client events require it, with time off in lieu

Useful but not essential:

motion graphics, drone licence, prior work with hospitality or F&B brands, event coverage experience.

Your own gear

You shoot on your own kit. We would rather you work on a setup you know inside out than hand you an unfamiliar body and lose a month to figuring it out. Where a job calls for something you do not have, whether that is lights, a lens or audio, we supply the add on kit.

Working arrangement

Office hours are 10.30am to 6.30pm, Monday to Friday. But shoots happen where the clients are, and lifestyle brands are busiest when everyone else is off. Expect a meaningful share of your shooting to fall on evenings and weekends. You get time off in lieu for it, and because you plan your own shoot schedule, you have more control over when than most.

What we offer

• Named brands on your reel within your first three months
• Range most videographers never get: fine dining, hotels, retail, sport, festivals
• Full ownership of the look. Nobody sits between you and the footage.
• A short line to the founder. Decisions get made in hours.
• Creative input rather than executing someone else's storyboard
