Job Title: Videographer / Shooter / Editor / Unicorn
Company: Last Humans
Location: Surry Hills, Sydney
Who we are:
Last Humans is a new film production house that is based in Surry Hills, Sydney. We’re a collective of creative human beings that bring life to stories. We’re an end-to-end film production house which means our services range from pre-production to colour grading and everything in between. We’re new. We’re nice. We’re growing.
About the role:
We’re looking for a highly versatile videographer to join Last Humans. Someone who can shoot, edit, and think on their feet - bringing creative vision and technical excellence from concept through to delivery. This role is ideal for a multi-skilled creator who thrives in fast-moving environments, loves the craft of storytelling, and isn’t afraid to get their hands dirty on a wide variety of projects - from scrappy social shoots to polished branded films. You’ll work directly with directors, producers, clients, and crew to bring bold, human-led work to life.
The day-to-day role will include:
Edit engaging and well-paced content in Adobe Premiere Pro, with a strong understanding of narrative flow, pacing, and visual rhythm.
Lead the post-production process, including revisions, music sourcing and dabbling in a bit of colour grading. You can do a basic sound mix and don’t mind trying new things when it comes to motion graphics.
Capture high-quality footage, you’ll shoot on our in-house cameras and can adapt to a range of production styles, lighting conditions, and locations.
Collaborate with directors and producers from pre-production through post, contributing creative ideas and problem-solving on the fly.
Lead small shoots independently with our producer, managing basic lighting, audio, and camera setups when needed.
Camera assistance / support on bigger shoots you aren’t precious about where what you do, or where you can help - you are a team player and can adapt to different roles to suit where we might need you.
Interpret and evolve creative briefs, ensuring alignment between the visual output and project objectives.
Keep up with gear, software, and workflow trends, bringing fresh thinking and smarter processes to the table.
Stay across file management and delivery formats, ensuring footage and edits are backed up, organised, and ready for delivery.
Support the development of proposals and assist with quoting, helping shape creative responses, timelines, and production budgets.
Your skills:
Proven experience (2+ years) as a shooter/editor in commercial, branded content, documentary, or agency settings.
Proficiency in Adobe Premiere Pro, with working knowledge of After Effects, Photoshop, or other post tools a bonus.
Strong understanding of cinematography, including shot composition, lighting, and audio capture.
A collaborative mindset with the ability to take direction and also self-direct when needed.
Comfortable in both solo and team-based productions, with an ability to adapt to different crew sizes and timeframes.
Organised and reliable, with strong file handling, time management, and communication skills.
Experience working directly with clients and/or on-set with directors and talent is a plus.
A showreel that demonstrates versatility, creativity, and technical competence across different types of work.
Bonus skills (not essential): Colour grading, animation, motion graphics, sound design, photography, or scripting.
Why it’s good:
Opportunity to make a difference and grow with a new film production house with a talented team in a creative environment.
A voice in the work and the culture - we’re building something real, and you’d be a big part of it.
There’s no ceiling in this role, and we’ll allow you to follow the pathway you want in your career.
Regular social events with a community of creatives.
If you’re looking for an exciting opportunity to contribute to a growing film production agency, we want to hear from you.
