Address:
Walsh University
2020 E Maple Street
North Canton, OH
Position: Camera Operator (Will hire lead and assistant camera operator)
About the Tournament:
Inviting an experienced camera operator for live rugby matches. The role involves filming rugby action using a zoom lens on sticks, gimbal, or monopod, according to your expertise.
Matches are 14 minutes long, with 7-minute halves. Expect to film up to 3 matches per day (Friday and Saturday) for a total of 42 minutes of game time. The schedule is dynamic, with games spread throughout the day - typically one in the morning, early afternoon, and later afternoon.
About Us: Video production company who specializes in corporate video production and content creation for social media.
Job Description & Responsibilities:
As a camera operator, you will be responsible for capturing high-quality footage of rugby matches, ensuring dynamic and engaging content for our viewers. The role demands a keen eye for detail, the ability to follow fast-paced sports action, and a solid understanding of sports filming techniques.
Filming with a zoom lens on sticks, preferably up to 200 or 300mm to follow the player with the ball at 60 frames per second so that we can move into slow motion when needed.
We don’t need the game filmed, just the highlights of one player, so the camera will not be filming the whole time. We just need short clips.
Requirements:
Proven experience as a camera operator, preferably with sports events.
Strong understanding of sports filming techniques and ability to capture fast-moving action.
Excellent communication and teamwork skills.
Ability to move quickly and adapt to schedule changes.
