Job Summary

Own end-to-end short-form production and establish the editing style, while driving fast-paced shoots and on-call long-form work. Lead gear planning, studio setup improvements, and create hooks that boost retention and performance.

  • Own camera, lighting, and audio as a one-person crew on shoot days.
  • Build and enforce editing standards for future editors and freelancers.

Job Description

Responsibilities

  • Shoot days, 2+ per week: talking head, b-roll, on-location, and automotive content. You run camera, lighting, and audio as a one-person crew.
  • The editing standard: you’ll cut the first version of new formats and establish the style that future editors and freelancers will follow.
  • Short-form production: this is the core of the job. You’ll help turn ideas into high-performing content quickly and consistently.
  • Long-form as a secondary focus: you’ll also shoot and edit YouTube videos and larger brand pieces as they come up.
  • The kit and the studio: you’ll help choose the gear, build out shooting spaces, and improve the production setup over time.
  • The visual hook: angle, action, framing, pacing, and aesthetic. You’ll be expected to care about skip rate and retention graphs, not just how a frame looks.
  • Speed: you know when a video needs another hour and when it needs to ship. We publish constantly, so speed matters as much as taste.

Requirements

  • You shoot and edit, and you have a reel that proves both. The reel matters more than the resume.
  • You understand composition, lighting, camera movement, and visual storytelling at a high level, whether you learned it in film school, on set, or by doing the work.
  • You know how to make short-form feel intentional rather than disposable.
  • You’re comfortable carrying a story across a longer edit when the project calls for it.
  • You’re fast, resourceful, and comfortable working independently.
  • You want ownership early in your career instead of waiting years to get it.
  • You care about performance. You want to know why someone stopped scrolling, kept watching, or dropped off.
  • Car enthusiasm is a genuine plus. You’ll be filming them constantly.
  • Ability to Commute: Woodland Hills, CA 91367 (Required)
  • Work Location: In person
