To be more specific, here are the types of people we're looking for:

1: ASSISTANT EDITORS

If you are a fast, efficient video editor and/or film major with Final Cut experience (After Effects doesn't hurt either), available two days a week during business hours, either for school credit or just because you're bored, you should apply for our highly unpaid opening as an assistant editor. The position involves providing creative and archival assistance to our editors in the post-production and cataloging of Pitchfork.tv's performance and interview series, music videos, bumper content, etc. To apply, please send your resume and a link to your demo reel (no attachments please!) to jobs@pitchforkmedia.com.

Duties include (but are not limited to): prepping gear for shoots, white balancing, syncing, coordinating mic/line inputs, and monitoring audio recordings, as well as some actual shooting. This position exists predominantly in the field and will largely occur on evenings and weekends. Because many of our shoots take place at music venues, candidates under 21 cannot be considered. To apply, please send your cover letter, resume, and samples of your work (links only, no attachments please!) to jobs@pitchforkmedia.com with "Production Assistant Internship" in the subject header.
