Right now the NZ On Screen team is totally focussed on content acquisition. The site has been designed and developed and now a lot of content needs to be pulled together for launch! This means digitising film and television programmes - which is happening at the Film Archive and at the Dub Shop - as well as researching, finding photographs, and writing perspectives and profiles for key cast and crew.
We will put nothing online that does not have copyright clearance. This is a massive undertaking for the Rights and Legal team (Kim Baker and Catherine Juniot) who are chasing producers and copyright holders all over the country to get titles cleared.
NZ On Screen is hiring …
We’re looking for an online web editor (not a video/film editor).
Who we are:
- A small team of dynamic, motivated, friendly and hard-working people who are creating an iconic New Zealand website.
- NZ On Screen will be a showcase of moving image and sound content created in NZ or by NZ’ers.
- We are the people who are putting it all together.
Who you are:
- You are a person with a passion for editorial detail. You know where apostrophe’s go and can spot a spelling mistake a mile off.
- You know what style guidelines are and how to keep consistent tone through different pieces of writing.
- You know that writing for the web is different from other media, that online users have to be addressed in an online style, and ideally you know how to do this.
- You have a strong interest in, and ideally knowledge of, the NZ film and television industry through the ages.
- You have more than a passing familiarity with computers and the programmes they run (especially macs).
- You can spell internet, you know what it can do and are keen to be part of where it can go.
- You have a good working knowledge of colloquial Maori language and the evolving Kiwi vernacular.
- You can make order from chaos, enjoy working with creative people and keeping track of many things at once.
- You are familiar with information management, and content management systems and are not afraid to use them.
- You like small teams, are independent, motivated, self-managing and not afraid to defend your point of view.
- You are based in Wellington.
If you like the sound of us, and we’ve captured your key skills and interests in a nutshell … and you’re looking for 20-32 hours work / week … and you’re available asap … then send in your CV and a cover letter to Brenda (brenda at nzonscreen.com) by May 10th and we’ll talk.
It was an auspicious moment. One week ago the first lot of content, digitised by the NZ Film Archive, copyright cleared and ready to go, arrived at the NZ On Screen office.
Clare O’Leary, Content Director for NZ On Screen, used the well established ’sneakernet’ network to transfer the files.
