You read that right! We’re looking for someone with a love for games to be our first When in Manila gamer!
If you want to play games all day from the comforts of your home and make money while doing so, this is it.
This is the dream job you’ve been waiting for!
If you love playing games, discovering new games, reviewing new games, sharing gaming insights, and just kicking ass in games, in general, we want you.
If you have editing skills, talking skills, and fighting skills, apply now and literally eat, sleep, play, repeat (edit a little). Plus, you’ll get to tell your mom, “kaka computer ko yan”.
We don’t have a specific age requirement, so you can be a fresh grad or someone older who’s sick of their 9-to-5-plus-commuting-time-and-sometimes-overtime job. You don’t need to be a professional gamer, either, because we believe we can turn you into one in time anyway. Ideally, you should have your own consoles and equipment, though we aren’t too picky about which kinds of games that you play… as long as you love to play.
Other musts include: a gaming-til-I-drop attitude, the ability to hook people with witty banter (English, Taglish, or pure Filipino is fine), and creative juices to come up with your own fun videos. Of course, you will also need to edit your own videos at home, so the discipline to take a break from gaming to make videos is also a must.
The main task of the gamer is to play games and compile recorded gameplay and gaming footage into a gaming video that tells a story and has the potential to go VIRAL. It also includes putting audio on the video to create a cohesive visual story.
Tasks
– Play different types of games that the audience will find cool, fun, nostalgic, or interesting
– Create and edit gaming videos
– Cut and compile existing videos
– Trim videos and put them in sequential order that tell a story
– Put music, dialogues, subtitles, graphics, and effects
– Do FB Live streaming videos
– Coordinate with editorial team for other gaming-related projects
– Coordinate with partners for gaming-related projects
Requirements
– No professional gaming skills needed
– Has own consoles and equipment
– Experience in video editing software such as Avid Media Composer, Lightworks, Premiere, After Effects and Final Cut, and other similar tech or software
– Familiarity with old and new games on different types of consoles
– Creative mind and storytelling skills
– English, Taglish, or pure Filipino narration is okay
– Knowledge of social media marketing is a plus
– In-depth knowledge of YouTube is a plus
– Basic copywriting skills is a plus
