Freelance Visual Creator (Video + Artwork) for Electronic Music Project
Budget: $8 – $15 AUD
We’re looking for a creative video editor / visual designer to collaborate with our electronic music project Sentien_.
This role focuses on creating short-form videos and cover artwork for music releases and social media promotion.
The project sits within underground techno and electronic music culture, so an understanding of music-driven visuals and editing to rhythm is important.
We release music regularly and are looking for someone interested in ongoing collaboration helping shape the visual identity around the project.
What You’ll Be Creating
Short-form video content for platforms including:
• TikTok • Instagram Reels • YouTube Shorts
Graphic design work including:
• single cover artwork • promotional graphics • visual assets for social media
Content Style
The visual content will include two main styles.
High-Energy Music Clips
Fast-paced edits synced to the music.
Examples include:
• DJ performance clips • warehouse rave crowds • crowd reactions and energy moments • lighting, strobes and atmosphere
These clips are typically built around drops and builds in the music.
Emotive / Cinematic Clips
Short story-driven moments that create emotion around the music.
Examples include:
• city scenes at night • characters moving through urban environments • cinematic moments that build anticipation • subtle emotional reactions
These clips help create depth and atmosphere around the music, not just energy.
Footage
The freelancer should be able to source or access their own footage where needed, including:
• licensed stock footage • self-shot clips • cinematic or nightlife footage suitable for music visuals
We’re looking for someone who can assemble strong visuals from multiple sources, not just edit pre-supplied clips.
Editing Style
Videos should generally be:
• short form (5–12 seconds) • synced tightly to the music • visually engaging within the first 1–2 seconds • formatted for TikTok, Reels and Shorts
Some clips may include minimal text hooks, but the visuals should also work without text.
Ongoing Work
We release new music approximately every 4–6 weeks.
Each release typically requires:
• cover artwork for the single • a batch of short-form promotional videos (minimum 15 clips) • variations of those clips for TikTok, Instagram Reels and YouTube Shorts
We’re looking for someone who can work with us consistently across releases and help develop a recognisable visual style around the music.
Skills
You should be comfortable with tools such as:
• Premiere Pro or DaVinci Resolve • After Effects or motion graphics tools • Photoshop or Illustrator
Bonus if you have experience with:
• AI video tools • glitch or analog-style effects • music visualisers
