No two days are the same. In the morning you might shoot a UGC concept on a phone, and in the afternoon a high-production advert on an FX3. You'll work closely with our Directors and Producers across studio and location shoots, covering UGC, VSLs, podcasts, testimonials, branded content, B-roll and product. What you'll be doing

Operating Sony FX3 (or similar) cameras and professional lighting across studio and location shoots
Owning audio on set: mic placement, monitoring levels and flagging issues as they happen
Bringing the Director's vision to life, and adding your own eye for framing, composition and lighting
Planning a shot list before every shoot so you're ready from the first scene
Leaving every shoot with clean, well-organised, properly named footage ready for post
Supporting pre-production conversations on lighting, kit and location setup
Keeping up with Meta and TikTok trends and bringing fresh references to set, Within your first 90 days, you'll have shot across a range of formats, built strong relationships with the team, and have your footage running live in client ad accounts.
