About Blue Skye Media Blue Skye Media is a premier real estate media and marketing company servicing the DMV area.

Key Responsibilities
Create Scroll-Stopping Content: Edit high-energy, vertical Reels (Instagram/TikTok) and cinematic horizontal property tours.
Creative Autonomy: Take unedited footage and independently craft a compelling story using trend-appropriate music, flawless beat-syncing, speed ramping, and seamless transitions.
Trend Spotting & Ideation: Live and breathe Instagram and TikTok trends. Bring fresh, innovative ideas to the table and provide our on-site shooters with specific direction or shot requests.
Real-Time Collaboration: Be highly responsive. We move incredibly fast in the real estate world. You must be available during standard Eastern Standard Time (EST) business hours and be comfortable communicating via text/messaging for quick updates, revisions, and brainstorming.
Attention to Detail: Ensure color grading, audio leveling, and pacing are perfect before the final export.
