Children's Content Creator (m/f/d) for an online learning platform campaign

We are an established company in the ed-tech (educational technology) sector and operate one of the leading online learning platforms for students. For a campaign during the promotional period in late November, we are looking for a child (approximately 10–12 years old) and a parent to participate in a UGC/self-shoot production.

Important: The child’s face must be clearly visible in all shots. Please apply only if this is acceptable to you.

Content: A child bursts into the frame without warning and shouts a short sentence as loudly as possible directly into the camera. The tone is loud, silly, and exuberant. It should feel like a spontaneous moment at home, not like a staged commercial.

Two versions will be created from one shoot:

• V1: Cell phone on a tripod, starting with an empty hallway or empty room. The child jumps into the frame from the side with gusto, shouts the sentence right in front of the lens, and then grins briefly at the camera, out of breath.

• V2: Selfie perspective. The child holds the phone themselves with an outstretched arm, calls out to the front-facing camera, and hops or runs around while doing so. Shaky footage is expressly encouraged.

In addition, there are several short “hook” variations (running in, jumping in, with and without a backpack) and a brief closing line in which the child points at the camera or gives a thumbs-up.

Filming is done independently using a smartphone. The process is based on a detailed briefing that outlines all the shots. The child has only two short lines in total, so there’s nothing to memorize. Energy is more important than perfection. We’ll handle the editing and post-production.

Who we're looking for:

• A child of playing age, approx. 10–12 years old (boy or girl)

• The child is lively and loud, can be silly, and isn't camera-shy

• The child’s face must be visible in the video

• The child must be able to hold the phone themselves while staying active (V2)

• A parent must be present during filming: Set up a tripod, retake shots, and upload the footage

Technical requirements:

• Smartphone with at least 2K resolution /

• Record in portrait orientation 9:16

• HDR must be able to be disabled in the camera settings

• Tripod or mount for V1

• School backpack must be present

• Hallway or children’s room with some space to run around; everyday surroundings may remain visible

• Sufficient natural light or even indoor lighting

Nice to have:

• Experience with UGC videos, social media content, or children’s theater/amateur acting

• Experience guiding a child through a shoot in a relaxed and fun way

• Reliable, on-time delivery of raw footage in specified individual clips
