Struggling to keep up with post-production demands? Discover how Filipino remote video editors, music producers, and curators can amplify your creative workflow.

The music and video production industry is driven by creativity and precision. Whether it’s editing a video, producing a track, or curating the perfect playlist, every detail matters in delivering compelling content.

But high production costs, tight deadlines, and limited in-house resources often make it challenging to meet client expectations while staying competitive.

The solution? Filipino remote professionals. With an Employer of Record (EOR) like Siegen Solutions, you can access a pool of skilled video editors, music producers, and music curators who can seamlessly integrate into your creative process—remotely and cost-effectively.

The Problem: Challenges in Music and Video Production

Behind every polished video or music track is a labor-intensive process that can overwhelm production teams. Common challenges include:

  1. Time-Intensive Post-Production
    Video editing, sound design, and color grading require specialized skills and significant time investment.

  2. High Creative Talent Costs
    Hiring local video editors or music producers inflates budgets, leaving little room for other creative endeavors.

  3. Scaling Production Capacity
    As demand for content increases, finding scalable solutions for production work becomes difficult.

  4. Curation and Catalog Management
    Building playlists or organizing music libraries for clients is time-consuming but essential for delivering high-quality content.

These challenges don’t just slow down projects—they limit your ability to deliver standout creative work.

The Solution: Filipino Remote Talent as Your Competitive Edge

Imagine a team of skilled remote professionals handling your post-production, music creation, and curation needs with efficiency and creativity.

Why are music and video production companies turning to the Philippines for remote employees?

  1. Talented Video Editors
    Filipino video editors excel at cutting, color grading, and adding special effects to create visually compelling content.

  2. Skilled Music Producers
    Remote Filipino music producers bring expertise in composition, mixing, and mastering across various genres, enhancing your production quality.

  3. Music Curators and Catalog Managers
    Filipino professionals manage playlists, organize music libraries, and curate tracks tailored to client needs, saving your team time.

  4. Cost-Effective Operations
    Reduce staffing costs by up to 50%, freeing up budget for more creative projects and equipment investments.

  5. Cultural Compatibility and Communication Skills
    With excellent English proficiency and a strong work ethic, Filipino professionals integrate seamlessly into global creative teams.

  6. Scalable Production Solutions
    Expand your team as project demands grow, without the overhead of local hiring.

The Missing Piece: An Employer of Record (EOR)

Here’s the challenge: hiring Filipino remote workers directly is illegal unless you establish a legal entity in the Philippines.

The Labor Code of the Philippines and DOLE regulations (Department Order No. 174, Series of 2017) mandate that foreign employers comply with labor laws to protect employees’ rights.

Non-compliance can lead to:

  • For Employers: Legal action, fines, and potential blacklisting.

  • For Employees: Loss of essential benefits like SSS, PhilHealth, and Pag-IBIG.

Setting up a legal entity is costly, time-intensive, and requires ongoing compliance. That’s why production companies rely on an EOR like Siegen Solutions.
