On-Set Content Director

Responsibilities

• The shoot day: You run 4-hour client shoots, and keep the day on schedule so every piece gets captured before the shoot wraps.
• On-camera coaching: You hype the client up so they feel comfortable, loose, and seen. You set the emotional tone for each piece, call out a “presenter” voice, and coach the client to match the tone of the content if off.
• The frame: You ensure every shot is captured with clean, layered backgrounds, good light on the face, room for captions and titles, and flattering angles. You grab single photos and evergreen b-roll whenever you see the moment.
• Shoot prep: You know each client's voice and strategy before you walk in. You run the prompt that builds the shot list from the content calendar, flag anything unrealistic, off-brand, or missing, and message the client 2 days before about props, products, and outfits to have on-hand.
• Footage handoff: All footage is uploaded to Dropbox and organized into the content folders the same day.

Requirements

• A natural at making people comfortable. You can make a nervous CEO laugh and forget the camera is there.
• You hear it when a line sounds read like a script instead of said, and you can fix it in one sentence without making anyone self-conscious.
• You notice the cluttered shelf and the harsh window light before you hit record.
• Calm on the clock. You keep a 4-hour day moving without anyone feeling rushed.
• Confident giving direct feedback to impressive people. They want it, and they&aposre open to it.
• Based in San Diego, available for daytime shoots, with reliable transportation around the county.

Preferred

• Bonus: acting, improv, theater, hosting, event production, media training, or content creation of your own.
