About Daybreaker

Daybreaker is a global movement and lifestyle brand that brings people together through early morning dance parties, immersive wellness experiences, and deep community connection. We believe in the power of dance, music, and storytelling to inspire joy, belonging, and radical self-expression. Our creative team produces visually stunning, emotionally compelling content that captures the magic of these experiences—and we’re looking for a passionate intern to help us bring that magic to life.

About the Role

We’re seeking a Video Editing & Videographer Intern who will play a key role in crafting story-driven edits, creating unforgettable videos that capture the essence of Daybreaker’s movement, organizing footage, and assisting with our shoots! You’ll work closely with our editing team to shape narratives, refine pacing, and translate the energy of our live events into cinematic, digital experiences.

What You’ll Gain:

• Hands-on experience in a fast-paced, creative production environment.
• The opportunity to contribute to meaningful, joy-filled content that reaches a global audience.
• Mentorship and skill development in professional video editing workflows.
• A chance to build your portfolio with high-quality work that captures the magic of movement, connection, and community.

What You’ll Do:

• Organize and manage raw footage from Daybreaker events, ensuring a smooth post-production workflow.
• Assist in editing high-energy, emotionally engaging videos for social media, marketing campaigns, and brand storytelling.
• Capture visually compelling footage at Daybreaker events, working with our team to frame immersive, dynamic shots.
• Contribute creative ideas to enhance video projects, including music selection, pacing, and visual effects.
• Cut down interviews, assemble rough cuts, and source archival footage as needed.
• Implement color correction, audio balancing, and motion graphics (if you have After Effects experience).
• Stay up to date with video trends, storytelling techniques, and social media best practices.

• A passionate visual storyteller with a strong eye for detail and rhythm.
• Proficient in Adobe Premiere Pro (After Effects is a plus!).
• Experienced in cinematography and shooting high-quality, dynamic footage (experience with DSLRs, mirrorless cameras, or cinema cameras is a plus).
• Organized, proactive, and excited to collaborate with a creative team.
• Familiar with video formats, codecs, and best practices for digital content.
• Able to take direction and feedback while bringing your own creative perspective.
