Job Description
Dive into the vibrant world of beauty content at e.l.f. Beauty, where this Video Production Intern crafts captivating footage that showcases our bold, accessible cosmetics. Collaborate with the New York creative squad to produce social-first videos that drive viral engagement and brand love. Gain hands-on experience in a fast-paced environment fueling industry innovation.
Full Description
At e.l.f. Beauty, our New York headquarters pulses with creativity, and the Video Production Intern role anchors the digital storytelling arm of our marketing team. This position immerses you in producing dynamic visuals that highlight our cruelty-free, wallet-friendly makeup lines, from everyday glows to runway-ready looks. Reporting to the Senior Video Producer, you'll contribute to a tight-knit group of five content creators who orchestrate campaigns reaching millions across TikTok, Instagram, and YouTube. What sets this internship apart is its focus on real-time trend integration, allowing you to shape content that resonates with Gen Z beauty enthusiasts amid the bustling Manhattan beauty scene.
Day-to-day, you'll scout and set up shoots featuring e.l.f. products in urban pop-up studios overlooking the Hudson, capturing everything from quick tutorials to behind-the-scenes artist spotlights. Expect to edit raw footage using Adobe Premiere Pro, layering in eye-catching graphics and e.l.f.'s signature playful voiceovers that emphasize inclusivity. You'll collaborate closely with the social media strategists to align videos with seasonal launches, like our summer shimmer palettes, ensuring seamless posting schedules. Hands-on tasks include rigging lights for product close-ups, synchronizing audio for ASMR unboxings, and optimizing clips for algorithm boosts. Weekly brainstorms with the design and influencer teams will have you pitching fresh ideas, such as user-generated content remixes, while assisting in post-production reviews to refine our signature vibrant aesthetic. Fieldwork might involve tagging along to influencer events in SoHo, gathering B-roll that fuels authentic narratives.
Pursuing a degree in Film Production, Media Arts, or a related field, with at least one semester of relevant coursework, positions you ideally for this opportunity. Prior involvement in campus media clubs or personal vlog channels counts as valuable exposure, even without formal years on a resume. Proficiency in Adobe Creative Suite—particularly Premiere Pro and After Effects—alongside basic camera operation with DSLRs or smartphones, is essential. Familiarity with beauty trends, color grading for skin tones, and social platform specs will help you hit the ground running. No certifications required, but a reel demonstrating short-form edits tailored to fast-fashion beauty will stand out.
Technical prowess in non-linear editing and motion graphics pairs with an intuitive grasp of pacing for vertical video formats that hook viewers in seconds. Adaptability shines through in juggling multiple shoots amid tight deadlines, while keen storytelling instincts transform product demos into relatable journeys. Collaborative spirit thrives in cross-functional huddles, fostering idea exchange that elevates collective output. A sharp eye for detail ensures flawless cuts that amplify e.l.f.'s fun, fierce ethos, complemented by proactive problem-solving during on-set hiccups like lighting glitches.
e.l.f. Beauty cultivates a canvas of bold self-expression, where flat hierarchies empower interns to voice concepts in all-hands mixers overlooking Times Square views. The content crew bonds over post-shoot happy hours at nearby rooftop spots, blending high-energy collaboration with wellness check-ins. Our commitment to 'eyes, lips, face' extends to nurturing talent through mentorship pairings and portfolio critiques. Professional growth accelerates via access to industry webinars and shadow sessions with exec producers, all within a culture celebrating diversity in beauty visions.
This internship offers a competitive hourly rate commensurate with New York market standards, paired with comprehensive health coverage including vision and dental options effective from day one. Enroll in our 401(k) matching program to build long-term security, and tap into generous paid time off alongside flexible summer hours accommodating class schedules. Perks extend to monthly beauty product stipends for testing new launches, subsidized MetroCards for seamless commutes, and exclusive invites to e.l.f. pop-up events across the city. Performance bonuses reward standout contributions to viral hits.
