  Kepler Interactive is seeking a highly collaborative, visually daring Video Editor and Motion Designer to join our global creative team on a Fixed-Term Contract (FTC). In this multi-disciplinary role, you will take the absolute lead on conceptualizing, cutting, and polishing high-impact cinematic trailers, promotional content, and experimental video projects across our entire publishing portfolio. This position is tailored for a video specialist who possesses a deeply rooted motion design sensibility—someone who goes beyond sequential editing to elevate titles, transitions, lower thirds, UI overlays, and kinetic typography into premium, stylistically distinct visual flourishes. Operating from our London headquarters under a flexible hybrid model, you will partner directly with our internal Creative and Marketing teams, as well as external independent studio founders. Your mission is to shape how Kepler and its titles are presented to the world, translating the unique identity of each game into breathtaking, rhythmically perfect moving images that capture the cultural zeitgeist. Job Overview : Video Editor and Motion Designer (FTC) Attribute Details Job Title Video Editor and Motion Designer (FTC) Company Kepler Interactive Location London, UK Work Arrangement Hybrid (Office / Remote Balance) Employment Type Full-time Fixed-Term Contract Core Software Stack Adobe Premiere Pro, Adobe After Effects Key Specializations Cinematic Trailer Editing, Motion Graphics, Kinetic Typography, Pacing & Pacing Layouts Key Portfolio Assets Clair Obscur: Expedition 33, Sifu, Pacific Drive, Scorn, Orbitals, ONTOS Compensation Competitive Base Salary + Bonus, Stock Potential & Full Benefits     About Kepler Interactive Kepler Interactive is a London-headquartered collective of independent game studios and elite creative talent. Founded in 2021, Kepler was built on a unique co-ownership model designed to give bold, art-driven games the strategic backing, resources, and global visibility they rightfully deserve. Our diverse portfolio spans titles celebrated worldwide for their uncompromising visual identity, narrative depth, and design ambition—including the kinetic martial-arts masterpiece Sifu, the atmospheric surrealism of Scorn, the tense driving-survival of Pacific Drive, the breathtaking turn-based RPG Clair Obscur: Expedition 33, and highly anticipated upcoming titles like Orbitals and ONTOS. Kepler exists to champion creators who look outward for inspiration. We seek out developers who draw ideas from classical art, counter-culture, avant-garde music, cinematic history, and high fashion, rather than merely replicating existing video games. We operate as a community of peers, prioritizing authentic artistic expression, structural transparency, and elite creative execution.   Position Purpose & Beyond the Edit The contemporary gaming landscape demands promotional material that breaks through the noise. A great trailer must do more than showcase raw gameplay features; it must evoke an emotional state, establish a subcultural tone, and stand alone as a premium piece of digital art. While this role is anchored primarily in high-end video editing and motion graphics generation, Kepler is actively building a multi-disciplinary collective of versatile creatives. We provide a workspace that honors and encourages creative curiosity. If you are a designer who wants to expand your remit over time—venturing into holistic brand campaigns, custom typeface experimentation, complex 3D animation, short-form social strategy, or experiential product development—there is real structural room within our growing creative department to scale your responsibilities, explore adjacent artistic disciplines, and directly influence Kepler’s broader cultural footprint. Key Responsibilities as Video Editor and Motion Designer (FTC) 1. Video Editing & Cinematic Trailer Production End-to-End Editing: Author, cut, and structure cinematic trailers, developer diaries, marketing promos, and brand hype-reels from initial brief through to final color grading and asset delivery. Narrative Flow & Pacing: Masterfully manage audio-visual pacing, structural rhythm, musical accents, and narrative arcs to ensure that every video perfectly encapsulates the distinct tone, atmosphere, and mechanics of the game it represents. Multi-Platform Formatting: Adapt, optimize, and re-cut video assets for an array of global platforms and display ratios—ranging from high-end, broadcast-quality showcase cinematics to hyper-engaging, snappy short-form edits for TikTok, YouTube Shorts, and Instagram Reels. 2. Motion Design & Visual Polish Motion Graphics Authoring: Design, illustrate, and animate custom titles, dynamic lower thirds, immersive transitions, and animated studio idents that give Kepler’s marketing materials an elite, unified finish. Kinetic Typography: Implement advanced kinetic typography and graphic design flourishes that feel natively integrated into the game world, elevating simple text into an artful extension of the game’s user interface. Studio Collaboration: Partner closely with independent studio developers scattered across multiple time zones, aligning on aesthetic vision to ensure that motion graphics packages respect and elevate the game’s core concept art. 3. Holistic Brand Craft & Cultural Output Brand Campaigning: Contribute original visual concepts, aesthetic references, and design craft to Kepler’s broader cultural initiatives, physical gallery events, digital festivals, and community-centric campaigns. Adjacent Skill Utilization: Actively take on adjacent creative tasks as the team evolves and your personal skills dictate—incorporating elements of 3D modeling, photography, web layout design, live event content creation, or interactive visual development.   About You (Selection Criteria) To thrive within Kepler’s creative division, you must be a self-directed visual storyteller who possesses a distinct artistic viewpoint, a deep respect for independent gaming, and an obsession with visual culture. Experience & Artistry Cinematic Portfolio: A phenomenal showreel or portfolio demonstrating an exceptional command of video editing and motion design. While a passion for video games is highly ideal, a sophisticated, cinematic eye for composition and framing is what we value most. Rhythmic Storytelling: An innate, highly developed sense of pacing, tension, comedic or dramatic timing, sound editing synchronization, and visual harmony. You know exactly when to let a shot breathe and when to execute a rapid-fire match cut.
