Job Description

Responsibilities

  • What You'll Own On Set Operate camera on shoots — from studio interviews to live clinical/OR environments — under the direction of the director/DP. Execute the shot list and adapt in real time: reframe, relight, and problem-solve to get the coverage a scene needs. Handle on-set data management: offloads, checksummed transfers, and a clean, labeled media pipeline before any card gets wiped. Work smoothly alongside crew — director, DP, gaffers, grips, sound — and on leaner shoots, be ready to cover more than one of those roles yourself.
  • What You'll Own In Post Cut selects, assemblies, and fine cuts from a script or director's notes. Build out motion graphics, titles, and light animation as a project calls for it. Color and finish footage to a clean, consistent standard. Handle basic sound design/mix and prep for a final audio pass where needed. Deliver correctly formatted files across specs — social cutdowns, trade-show loops, broadcast masters — with the right codecs and color spaces. Take revision notes and turn cuts around fast.
  • Technical Environment You should be fluent across a professional filmmaking stack: Cameras:   RED Digital Cinema — V-RAPTOR / V-RAPTOR XL, KOMODO / KOMODO-X, DSMC2 (Monstro / Helium / Gemini); Canon R5 C, Canon C80. Comfortable with the REDCODE (R3D) RAW workflow — recording formats, IPP2 color pipeline, RED media (RED PRO CFexpress, MINI-MAG). Experience with ARRI, Sony Venice/FX, or Blackmagic URSA is a plus. Editorial & finishing: Adobe Creative Cloud — Premiere Pro (editorial), After Effects (motion/comp), Photoshop / Illustrator (design assets), Media Encoder (delivery). DaVinci Resolve — editorial and color. Media handling: comfortable with verified transfer/checksum tools (Hedge, Shotput Pro, Silverstack) and following an established storage/backup workflow. You need real, hands-on reps with this kind of gear and software.

Requirements

  • 3+ years shooting and/or editing professional video, ideally including agency, brand, or commercial work.
  • Run-and-gun documentary experience — comfortable shooting handheld, fast, and adaptive when there’s no time for a full setup.
  • Comfortable operating camera on set and cutting in the edit bay — you need to be equally strong at both.
  • Calm and capable on set; easy to work with; takes direction well and executes it precisely.
  • Detail-oriented about media management — you don’t lose footage, ever.

Preferred

  • Bonus: experience in healthcare, medical device, pharma, or another regulated/technical category, and comfort in clinical environments (OR, lab, hospital).
  • Experience with ARRI, Sony Venice/FX, or Blackmagic URSA is a plus.
