Los Angeles, CA Production Jobs

New show for Discovery that has filmed three episodes already around Los Angeles, will film two more, and then continue on across the U.S. until approx July 3. All travel expenses covered + per diem for shoots outside of LA. Must work as a local for LA shoots. Will depart for South and East coast approx June 1 and return approx July 3.

Smaller crew show based around houses and interesting items (think American Pickers) where we will likely be working hard and fast while on the road with some prep time in between episodes. One or two weeks of LA prep, two weeks of LA shoots, and then we'll be on the road to other cities. You're jumping in midstream for someone we had who was wonderful but had to leave our lovely band of merry travelers.

This show needs a PC that is borderline spiritual in their commitment to organization and someone that can communicate efficiently and problem solve on-the-fly. Accounting excellence and spreadsheet detail oriented a must. Love it if you also have a sense of humor, but I suppose that one is optional. Your PM and LP have been doing this a long time and tend to try to make this work life something we enjoy and to hire people that work together well and are generally affable.

Energy and attitude matter - especially when on the road together. Tell me a little about your energy and leadership style when responding!

We're filming a pilot involving some scripted and lots of improv.

This is a 2-cam shoot. We're looking for a CAM OPERATOR with good comedy instincts. You'll need to bring a SONY FX-6, cards, stix, and lenses. We'll have Dana Dollies, so you'll need a 75mm fluid head.

Day rate and Kit rental = 1200/12h

In charge of posting social content, cutting clips for marketing on Premiere, and in charge or review social metrics.
$18.75 hr/ 4 weeks starting 5/13/24. Must be able to work in Burbank in the office a few days a week.

Editor needed for a digital game show series.

Although distributed through YouTube, this series is formatted similarly to the production value of a television show. In other words, the edit lift is quite heavy compared to what you would think an "average" YouTube edit would be. These edits are comprised of several camera angles, up to nine microphones, and multiple scenes.

The editor needs to be comfortable building story, editing with comedic timing, and dialogue editing. 
The best candidate for this role would be an editor who has experience in editing game shows, reality shows, or quick-paced comedy shows with lots of angles and audio tracks to manage. 



Editor may work remotely but must adhere to standard Pacific Standard Time working hours.

$1,000.00 - $1,200.00 / Weekly - Production is hiring an editor immediately at the rate range above to begin work the week of May 13, 2024.

Looking for an adventurous, daredevil producer wanting to help putting together a documentary/ docuseries with a female lead.

This real-life story is about a female daredevil who decides to travel to her home country in south america upon learning hell has broken loose and the country is in the precipice of change or destruction.

What started as a 2 week documentary about the indomitable will of the local people as a feel good story, turned in over 2 months of undercover journalism, learning about narco-terrorism, bribes, gun smuggling, hundreds of contacts with the local military, US department of state contractors, gun dealers, government agents, and a once paradise, being now used for the narcos for their operations.

All these information being told from the perspective of a female who initially just wanted to head home and see how she could make a difference.

I have shot amazing footage in locations rarely given access to, partner with strategic allies in the local government and am ready to put the story together, I just need a visionary that will help me make it a reality.

Did I also forget to mention there are also Enchanted islands and a breathtaking backdrop in one of the most beautiful (yet currently dangerous) places on Earth?

This might be a very unconventional way to put together a project, but maybe it's time to disrupt the way the industry works.

Thanks for taking the time to read!
