Aesthetic Videographer Needed for Vinyl Record Brand (5 Short-Form Videos Weekly - Product Content)

I run an online vinyl record store and I’m looking for a high-end aesthetic videographer / content creator to produce consistent short-form video content for TikTok and Instagram Reels. This is a long-term role (not one-off editing work) focused on building a cohesive visual identity around vinyl records and turntable playback. You will receive physical vinyl records shipped to you and turn them into polished, scroll-stopping content. This role has the potential to evolve into a long-term ongoing position depending on results and performance. We are also open to creative direction and experimentation—the content format described below is a starting point, but it is not fixed. We welcome and encourage any and all creative ideas that improve the aesthetic, engagement, or storytelling. ⸻ 🎯 Scope of Work: You will create 5 short-form vertical videos per week (25 per month). Each week, the 5 videos must feature 5 different vinyl records (one record per video). This is important for variety, product coverage, and audience engagement. Each video should be designed for TikTok / Instagram Reels and follow a consistent aesthetic style (while allowing creative variation over time). ⸻ 🎥 Content Format (Starting Framework): Each record may be transformed into variations of: 1. Needle Drop / Playback Clip * Macro vinyl spinning shots * Clean needle drop moment * 5–10 seconds of strongest audio segment * Designed to loop smoothly 2. Aesthetic Product Reveal * Album cover reveal (slow, intentional pacing) * Sleeve handling / texture-focused shots * Turntable placement + spin start 3. Taste / Mood-Based Clip * Minimal text overlay such as: * “Perfect late-night record” * “If you like ___, listen to this” * “Warm analog pressing” * Vinyl playback used as ambient visual ⸻ 🧠 Creative Direction: This is not standard “social media editing.” I’m looking for someone who understands: * lighting and composition * analog / film-inspired aesthetics * visual storytelling through product * restraint in editing (clean, minimal, intentional) The goal is to build a premium vinyl brand aesthetic, not high-volume content churn. ⸻ 📦 Workflow & Shipping: * I ship vinyl records to you in batches (typically 5–15 at a time) * You shoot and edit remotely * Deliver 5 finished vertical videos per week * Each video features a different record (5 total records per week) * Content must be fully export-ready (no additional editing needed) * Consistent turnaround schedule required Equipment Requirement: * A turntable is required for this project and will not be provided * You must already have access to a functional setup capable of playing vinyl records for filming purposes Return / Compensation Options: Once content creation is complete, records can be handled in one of two ways: 1. Return Shipping * I will include a prepaid return label for sending records back after filming 2. Keep at Wholesale Pricing * You may choose to keep any records instead by paying wholesale cost (deducted or invoiced accordingly) ⸻ 🎯 Requirements: * Strong portfolio of cinematic or aesthetic short-form video work * Experience with product videography or lifestyle branding content * Ability to create clean, controlled lighting setups * Access to: * turntable (required) * consistent shooting environment * lighting suitable for product-focused work * Strong understanding of TikTok / Reels pacing and retention ⸻ ⭐ Ideal Background: * Product videographer * Cinematic UGC creator (premium tier) * Music / vinyl / analog aesthetic creator * Studio photographer expanding into motion work * Brand content specialist ⸻ 💰 Budget: Open based on experience and quality. Please include: * your rate per week or per month * examples of similar work * expected turnaround time This is a long-term, ongoing position for the right creator, with potential to expand into a sustained collaboration if results are strong. ⸻ 📌 How to Apply: Please include: * Portfolio (most important) * Examples of: * product videography * aesthetic / cinematic short-form content * music-related or lifestyle visuals (if available) * Your pricing for: * 5 videos per week (or monthly equivalent) * Any relevant experience with branded content or product storytelling ⸻ 🚫 Not a Fit If: * You only do fast-paced templated TikTok edits * You rely heavily on stock footage or motion graphics * You do not have experience shooting product-based visuals * You cannot maintain a consistent aesthetic style
