Freelance Videographer (Parental Leave Cover) Contract - UK

The Role

The Instruments team at Splice, spanning Spitfire Audio and Splice Instrument, is looking for an experienced freelance videographer to cover a planned parental leave from mid-July 2025. This is a hands-on, end-to-end production role. You'll own the shoot calendar across H2, one of our busiest content periods of the year, and work closely with our in-house editor to deliver video creative across campaigns, artist projects, and product launches.

You'll be the primary videographer on set and in the studio, responsible for everything from pre-production logistics through to delivering polished footage for our editor to work with.

What you'll be doing

• Planning and directing shoots across a busy H2 calendar, including campaign content, artist stories, and product walkthrough videos. You'll brief and direct talent, manage shoot logistics and equipment, and run multi-day location shoots independently when needed.

• You'll lead product photography sessions alongside video work, and produce video ad creative and social video assets for major commercial campaigns.

• Working closely with our in-house editor, you'll give him the footage and directorial brief he needs to cut and deliver content on schedule.

• You'll also take over day-to-day management of our freelance editing capacity.

What we're looking for

• A seasoned videographer with a strong narrative eye and genuine comfort running shoots independently, from a single studio session to a multi-day location shoot.

• Equally confident directing talent and handling product photography.

• Experience producing video ad creative for digital campaigns is important, as is the ability to manage a busy production calendar without much hand-holding.

• Familiarity with the music technology space, sample libraries, virtual instruments, and the world of composers and sound designers, is a bonus.

• An interest in music and a feel for the creative community we serve goes a long way.

• You'll need to be London-based and available to start mid-July for a structured handover period before the current videographer goes on leave.

Logistics

• Duration: 7 months (approx. August 2026 – Feb 2027)

• Location: London (studio-based and location shoots as required)

• Engagement: Freelance contract
