仕事内容:
Company: We are a Tokyo-based startup developing cutting-edge language learning courses, materials, and other products. Our company is motivated by a desire to change the language learning industry, to teach students in ways they have never been taught before.
Job: This is primarily a video editing (freelance) job, but if you have other filmmaking skills, they will also be valued. It involves
- podcasting;
- YouTube/Instagram/Tiktok social media content creation;
- video course creation.
In addition to a growing social media presence, we develop courses and other instructional products to help people learn foreign languages and cultures. Right now, we are focused on products for English speakers who are studying Japanese language and culture.
Our courses help people understand both culture and language, thus we focus on interesting cultural differences and friction points, as well as the cultural context for language. Our courses and products take the form of videos, audiobooks, podcasts, articles and, coming later this year, VR media. As such, much of our translation work revolves around dialogue scripts and other scripts that will be performed by voice actors and actors, as well as the audio editing of these dialogues into lessons and courses. We also do extensive analysis of culture and terminology to support all of our social media content.
アピールポイント:
-Remote work with a flexible schedule (being able to meet periodically in person in Tokyo is a plus, however).
-Opportunity for promotion and more responsibility (for those interested).
-We provide training and feedback so you can gain skills and experience.
-Opportuntiy to work with Hollwood veterans, professional voice actors, audio engineers, video editors, and in professional studio recording environments.
-Great for people interested in languages, culture, and education, as well as those interested in storytelling, narrative, entertainment, and media in general.
-Great for people with bilingual/polylingual and multicultural backgrounds to make use of their unique life experience and learn valuable skills that pair with it.
-Opportunity to work with passionate and motivated people with international backgrounds who love working with language, culture, and storytelling.
