Calico - 360 Video Editor for VR VAWG Empathy Experience
Calico is looking for a 360 Video Editor to collaborate with us on our project, TfGM VR VAWG Empathy Experience: an empathy training tool exploring the fem experience of public transport.
About Calico
Calico is an award-winning social enterprise, based in Birmingham, using creativity to combat gendered violence.
Creativity enables people to see differently, think differently, and act differently. We bring virtual reality, short films and live theatre into unusual places, like police training rooms, schools, the house of commons, or public space, to connect lived-experience communities with policymakers.
We aim to build a whole-system approach to tackling gendered violence.
About the Project
Calico is working together with Transport for Greater Manchester to develop a virtual reality (VR) training tool aimed at helping address gendered violence on public transport. The tool will be delivered to frontline transport staff in Greater Manchester.
The Role: 360Video Editor
We are recruiting a West Midlands-based freelance 360 Video Editor to form part of the Creative Team for TfGM VR VAWG Empathy Experience. The 360 Video Editor will work alongside a team of creatives, made up of a Sound Designer, VR Artist, and Unity Developer, and led by Directors Daz Cox and Martha Harrison.
The 360 Video Editor will be responsible for reviewing and editing video content captured by Calico, to be used in the TfGM Project. They will edit video to guide a viewer’s gaze and attention to certain directions and aspects of the scene, using visual effects where appropriate. They will then export the completed scenes to an appropriate format for the Unity Developer to build into the project, to be integrated with assets from both the VR Artist and Sound Designer.
