Secret Games Co is a British game studio founded in 2012. We’re a small but experienced team working on our 5th game (and starting our 6th). We make strategy games that offer players something meaningfully different from what they can find elsewhere; everybody on our team contributes ideas. We have secure funding and we’ve never cancelled a project. 

 

Benefits

  • Fixed term contract or freelancer day rate
  • Fully remote work
  • Maximum flexibility, no office hours/days
  • Minimal bureaucracy and hierarchy
  • Super friendly team :)

 

Qualifications

  • Working proficiency in English
  • Lots of experience capturing footage and editing videos
  • Portfolio with at least one game trailer
  • Can-do attitude and commitment to see a project through to completion
  • Passion for PC games

 

We are looking for a Video Editor (Trailers & Cinematics), who we can work with long-term, when we have a video task on one of our projects. These will be either an in-game cinematic, such as an intro video or cut scene, or a marketing video: teaser, trailer, explainer, Kickstarter video, etc.

Our games are 2D with beautiful hand-drawn assets. You will play them to capture footage and work with our game director on the creative direction for a video. You will have the freedom to make videos in your own style. Our art team, a lead artist and an animator, will support the video creation process.

At the moment, we are focused on our upcoming strategy / management game, Bon Vivant, a roguelite set in 1920s Paris, where you throw parties for the stars of the era: Picasso, Chanel, Orwell, et al. You can learn more about it in our Discord.

 

How To Apply

We’re open-minded about what sort of candidate would be a good fit. We’re looking for past work, which includes some videos, which are similar to what we’re looking for. Please send us an email with:

  • Subject line: Video Editor Application
  • Links to your portfolio and videos you’ve made that showcase relevant experience
  • You desired compensation, as a day rate or a fixed fee for making a trailer

Thank you for considering Secret Games Co!
