Job Description

We are seeking a highly skilled, visually driven Cinematographer / Video Editor who can masterfully handle a project from the view finder to the final export.

As a core creative team member, you will not just be operating gear; you will actively contribute to the creative direction, visual styling, and overall aesthetic of our original shows, branded commercial content, and digital campaigns. If you are a filmmaker who loves working across all creative aspects of production and thrives in a fast-paced studio environment, we want you on our crew.

• Ensure absolute technical quality on set, including correct exposures, color balance, framing, and sharp focus.

3. Premium Video Editing & Post-Production

• Own the post-production pipeline, cutting raw footage into engaging, well-paced stories using Premiere Pro, DaVinci Resolve, or Final Cut Pro.
• Elevate videos with music selection, basic text overlays, and seamless transitions.

4. Digital Asset Management

• Maintain an organized media workflow, ensuring safe backing up, logging, and archiving of all raw footage and project files onto studio servers.
• Assist in maintaining, troubleshooting, and managing the studio’s camera, lighting, and grip equipment.

REQUIREMENTS & QUALIFICATIONS

• Minimum of 3–5 years of hands-on experience working as a cinematographer, DOP, and video editor within a production company, creative agency, or standard media house.
• A strong ability to work across multiple formats, ranging from polished commercial work and documentaries to high-retention, fast-paced YouTube/digital content.
• High proficiency in Premiere Pro, DaVinci Resolve, or Final Cut Pro.
• Advanced knowledge of professional camera systems (Cinema cameras, Mirrorless systems), lens selection, lighting setups (shaping light, multi-point setups), and field audio recording.
• A stunning cinematography and editing showreel that demonstrates your eye for composition, lighting, camera movement, and pacing is required.
• Bachelor’s degree in a relevant field (Film, Media, TV Production) OR equivalent practical experience and a proven, hands-on track record in the filmmaking industry.

Bonus Skills (Nice To Have)

• Experience with drone piloting and aerial cinematography (licensed is a plus).
