Paid Video Production Internship

Remote - Washington DC, DC United States

Rising Tide Interactive is currently accepting Video Production internship applications for our paid Summer/Fall 2024 Internship Program. You'll learn the ins and outs of digital video production processes and tactics and creative management from a dedicated team of creatives, and gain useful experience managing and maintaining organization of large files. 

What you'll do:

  • Watch, organize, and catalog video footage and files
  • Recommend visuals for RTI’s digital videos by finding stock footage and imagery for a variety of projects
  • Assist Video Editors in video production
  • Create original :30 second, :15 second, and :6 second videos from start to finish
  • Organize assets for the Creative Team
  • Assist the Creative Team with other tasks that align with your skills and goals

This internship can be customized to your skills and goals – if you are more interested in the creative and technical aspects of video editing, we'll give you tasks that help you grow those skills, or if you are more interested in backend process and project management, we'll pivot your tasks that way.

  • Paid internship? Yep! We pay $17/hour
  • Full-time position (up to 35 hours/week) 
  • Summer/Fall internships typically run from May 27th to December 12th, but we’re flexible with start/end dates.
