As part of this collaboration, the Campaign will produce 15 short-form videos highlighting changemakers from around the world. Working with raw footage, visuals, and brand guidelines provided by the UNTF, Online Volunteers will support the team in editing and post-production to create compelling, high-quality digital content. Each video will run approximately 1:00 to 1:30 minutes.

Key Responsibilities:

✅ Assemble and edit raw video footage, supplementary visuals, and b-roll into cohesive 1- to 1.5-minute feature stories.
✅ Incorporate branded graphic elements, including titles, lower thirds, logos, and transitions, strictly following UNTF branding guidelines.
✅ Add accurate captions/subtitles to ensure accessibility and high engagement on social platforms.
✅ Enhance technical quality by cleaning up audio, adjusting sound levels, and applying basic color correction.
✅ Maintain a consistent visual style, tone, and pacing across all 15 changemaker videos.
