Videographer Jobs

Are you the next Michael Bay, Ridley Scott, David Lynch?

What’s the connection? All of these top drawer directors got their start making ads, and they still did after they made it in Hollywood.

Do you know who Joe Pytka is? Do you know the story of “Space Jam”?

While we won’t have you working with big budgets, huge crews, (hence the Mike and Spike reference) or shooting 70mm film, we believe it’s OK to dream. In the meantime, we’re looking for someone to join our small team to handle video production. You’ll be shooting stills and video, editing, post-, color correction, doing awesome info graphics and sound mixing. While you’ll have creative coworkers to bounce ideas from, production from beginning to end will be up to you. This requires a self-starter attitude. You should be able to tell a story effectively using video.

About half of your work will be socially aware activism (we’re progressives). We do political ads for folks we like, and we’re also trying to make Dayton a better place by exposing corruption and offering alternatives to the status quo.

Note: you must like dogs, since we usually have 2 or 3 in the office.

Tools you should be familiar with: DaVinci Resolve (full version), Adobe CC (Premier & AE) . We have FCPX and Motion, but no one has used them in years. You’ll primarily shoot with Cinema cameras (C70, Blackmagic Pocket Cinema 6k G2 & 4K) & DSLRs (we have a Canon R6) but occasionally also with Sony video cameras. We have lights, dollies, sliders, drones, gimbals, and access to other stuff. We have a Blackmagic Design ATEM Mini Extreme ISO for doing live streaming too.

Your editing machine is a MacStudio- There’s a 60 TB RAID attached.

It’s not all glamor, either. You’ll also be expected to put together boring stuff, like house videos for Realtors.

IMPORTANT: Follow the following directions carefully, or you won’t be considered.

• Also include names of your top three movies of all time and links to your three favorite commercials of all time.
• Attach a PDF resume (no Word docs).
• Have a link to a reel or a set of links to video you’ve produced.
• Send a cover letter/introduction email telling us your favorite three independent local restaurants in Dayton and why we should hire you. If it’s an attachment- PDF.

This is a position that will grow with you. It’s up to you to do amazing work that we can showcase and build demand for. If you have existing clients, and want a steady paycheck, we may be your Shangri-la.

We know we have a lot of requirements, but we’ve found that hiring the right person is the most important thing we do. Attitude can beat demonstrated aptitude in our book. We’re willing to talk to entry-level people as long as they are willing to work for entry level pay until they prove profitable.

Thanks for reading and we look forward to hearing from you.Must want to change the world- at least a little bit. Please apply ASAP. [email protected]
