Responsibilities

• Pre-Production
• You will lead creative direction, concepting, shot lists, run of show, gear prep, location logistics, talent coordination, and written alignment with the client on look, tone, goals, and deliverables before cameras roll.
• Production
• You will lead solo and small-crew shoots locally and nationally, including multi-day events, trade shows, corporate interviews, brand films, product/lifestyle shoots, headshots, and short-form social capture. You will pack, travel with, operate, and maintain production gear.
• Post-Production
• You will edit, color, mix audio, build captions, create motion graphics and lower thirds, version content for broadcast, web, YouTube, paid social, and vertical platforms, and manage final delivery.
• Motion Graphics
• You should be comfortable building and customizing animated assets in After Effects, including working inside purchased or existing project files. This role requires more than basic Premiere timeline editing.
• Photography
• You will own event coverage, brand and product stills, headshots, and lifestyle imagery. You will light it, shoot it, cull it, and retouch it, with consistent framing, exposure, color, and polish across a delivered gallery. Photography is roughly one-third of the output, not an add-on.

Requirements

• 3+ years producing commercial or branded video and photography
• A video reel and photo portfolio that show work you personally planned, shot, and finished
• Expert-level experience in Adobe Premiere Pro, Divinci, and After Effects
• Strong Lightroom and Photoshop skills, including batch culling, gallery color consistency, and retouching
• Audition, Illustrator, and DaVinci Resolve experience preferred
• Proven ability to operate as a solo producer, shooter, editor, and photographer
• Experience with cinema and mirrorless cameras, prime and zoom lenses, continuous and strobe lighting, wireless and boom audio, gimbals, and multi-cam interview setups
• Comfort switching between video and stills during the same shoot day
• Part 107 drone certification or willingness to obtain it within 90 days
• Ability to manage multiple client accounts, several shoots per month, and occasional back-to-back travel weeks

Preferred

• Event and trade show production experience
• Agency experience managing multiple accounts at once
• Podcast, studio setup, or livestream experience
• Strong instincts for paid social creative, hook-first editing, Meta, YouTube, and short-form video strategy
