Video Production Intern

OUR NATIONAL CONVERSATION (ONC) seeks to reduce partisanship and promote effective solutions to America’s challenges. Powered by America’s youth, we host a media outlet, produce educational materials and facilitate dialogue intended to make America a better country.

The Video Production Volunteer will contribute to ONC’s mission of providing nonpartisan news, opinions, and policy solutions by assisting with the production of short forms of media, and ONC’s new idea of an educational series that aims to make public policy conversations interesting. The video production intern is responsible for the shooting, sound, and editing of the production. As well as stitching together several individual Mp4s to create longer content pieces from unrelated videos and creating assets to make the content visually enjoyable.
