About the job

We’re on the lookout for a sharp, creative and technically confident camera op/editor to join our growing production team. This is a hybrid role split between filming on set (with producers and DOPs) and cutting high-quality branded content back in the edit suite.

Nicely Done is a high-end video and animation agency based in central Reading, working with brands like Amazon, Vodafone and Canon. We make internal films, explainer videos, social content, interviews and promos - and we take pride in doing it all really, really well.

What you’ll be doing

• Shooting interviews and B-roll on set, often as part of a small crew
• Setting up basic lighting (we’ll teach you the rest if needed)
• Operating a gimbal confidently on location
• Editing branded content, case study films and social cutdowns
• Colour grading to a clean, professional standard - ideally with experience at using Resolve
• Helping manage and prep kit (we shoot on REDs and Canons)
• Working closely with producers and creative leads from brief to final delivery

Must-haves

• 2+ years filming and editing branded content
• Confident with Adobe Premiere Pro and camera kit (ideally RED, but not essential)
• Experience using gimbals (e.g. DJI RS2 or similar)
• Good technical head - organised with files, exports, and backups
• Strong attention to detail and ability to turn things around fast
• Team player: you’ll always be part of a crew and supported on set
• Driving licence (you’ll be using own or hire vehicles for shoots)

Nice-to-haves

• After Effects skills for simple motion graphics or text animation
• Experience with social-first formats (square, vertical, etc.)
• Knowledge of RED workflows
• Confidence in Resolve or Lumetri for basic colour work

The vibe

We’re a friendly, passionate and down-to-earth team who care about making great work without the egos. You’ll get to work on big-name brands, be trusted to bring your own flair to projects, and be part of a collaborative creative team where ideas are always welcome.

Location & Setup

This is a full-time hybrid role:

• 3 days a week at our Reading office (1 min from the station)
