- Job Requirements: Must be local to location (or willing to work as a local).
We are a growing marketing company with clients nationwide and we are expanding to the point where it doesn't always make sense to send our home crew. We are looking for regular freelancers in all of our cities where we have multiple clients. This is a great opportunity for on going freelance work or for younger crew members wanting to jump out of AC and do more Camera Op gigs.
The Lead should have knowledge of what makes a good interview set up and be able direct the assistant in where to set up lights. All interviews are done with 2 cameras. A lock off wide that is monitored to make sure its still recording and a closeup on a slider. Should be at least be familiar with how a good producer conducts an interview but it would be ideal if they have that experience. You'll be interviewing everyday employees and high up officers of the company so a professional look
Typically the first half of the shoot our interviews in 1 or 2 set ups and the second half is gathering B-Roll of the facility, office, warehouse, factory, city, etc. We do want both positions to be strong shooters who commit to shots, can visualize how each shot might be used in an edit, and be able to get as much as possible. Nothing is worse than when our editors don't have all the footage they need and have to purchase stock footage or hang on an interview for too long.
