- Job Requirements: On-location production (all travel costs covered).
Overtime (sports) is currently reviewing candidates with reality experience for CAMERA OPERATOR POSITIONS. Overtime is one of the premiere brands in the space of top prep athletes/pro prospects, and produce and distribute content across 6+ digital platforms. Primary competitors are companies such as ESPN, Bleacher Report, etc. We are a successful advanced start up, and our most well-known hit series is HELLO NEWMANS.
Currently hiring a freelance camera person to begin filming Tuesday, November 19 in Napa, CA. Production to cover travel, lodging and daily per diem of $40. Although always subject to change, the job is tentatively scheduled to run through Saturday, January 25th.
The position involves filming minors, on a district-regulated school campus. As such, ALL candidates MUST commit to a background check, fingerprinting, FIRM NO SMOKING/NO VAPING, and any other district or production requirements. This A cam position would also require you to run audio (both a wireless LAV and shotgun mic) direct to camera, using a Sony FS7 or FS5. Small crew (lead field producer, plus you supporting that lead producer’s needs as A Cam). We are filming through the holidays, including Thanksgiving week and Christmas, BUT there will be a 7-14 day hiatus beginning shortly after Christmas (final dates TBD). Filming 6 days/week (Mondays off), but most school nights will be shorter days (first and foremost, because they are premiere athletes and need to care for their body and get sleep). This is NOT the traditional 12.5 hour days of the reality world grind. Typical filming day on school day is to begin filming 1-2 hours before class lets out (ranges for class ending from 12:30 on shortened days until 3:30 on longer days), until bedtime. Weekends = who knows (we are filming teenagers)??!! MUST have experience as a camera operator on reality shows. Sports experience not required, but knowledge of sports is a bonus. Candidates of all backgrounds encouraged to apply. Excellent work environment.
For candidates selected for round 1, initial interview to be conducted via video (Skype, Facetime, WhatsApp).
