​​We're looking for help creating short technique videos for The Creative Retailer's studio network

 

What you'll create

• Six videos per month, uploaded to our Dropbox by the 1st.

• Each video should feature an approachable technique — sponges, contact paper, sketching — on generic pieces any supplier carries: coupe or rim dinnerware (salad and dinner size), small to medium bowls and plain mugs.

• Keep designs seasonal, with upcoming holidays and gift-giving in mind.

• Limit lettering to one or two pieces per month, nothing complex. No stencils or silk screens.​

• We love simplicity — organic, unfussy, and replicable. A design a customer can walk in and make on any piece. This one and this one are both great examples (more here and here).

 

Video specs

• MP4, vertical (9:16), minimum 1080x1920

• Continuous take — no editing needed on your end

• Audio isn't required; background noise is fine

• 15–20 minutes of painting footage for each technique (we'll edit and speed up to ~30 seconds)

• One additional short clip of the fired piece

• Good, consistent lighting

• Neutral surface only — white table or kraft paper, clean and bare. No paint on the surface, no tablecloths, nothing that identifies your studio. Same surface for every video.

 

What's yours

You provide the supplies (any color line) and firing. The finished pieces are yours to keep. The video can also be used for your marketing.

 

How it works

Month to month, no contract. Either party can end the arrangement with 30 days notice. You'd be hired as an Independent Contractor at $300/month, paid via Venmo upon upload.

 

To apply

No formal application. Just send a video or two to Hillary@thecreativeretailer.com that follow the guidelines above, plus more on you and your interest in the work.

Thank you!
