Videographer

About this role

Media & Creative Production makes everything the company puts out: films, photography, live streams, podcasts and the vertical video that carries most of it.

Shoot everything the company puts out: campus events, candidate and employee stories, product films and whatever the founders are doing that week. You own the shoot end to end — kit, lighting, sound and the rushes handed over clean and labelled.

Shoots are rarely in comfortable places — campuses, offices, plants, and mine sites on a plateau where the cloud comes down and takes the light with it. Crew is small, so people run their own department on the day.

Primary responsibilities

• Shoot on location — campuses, offices, plants and mine sites — often as a one or two person crew
• Light an interview properly in a room that was not built for it, which is most rooms
• Record clean audio: radio mic on the subject, a boom where you can, and a backup track you can actually use
• Manage your own kit, batteries and media on a shoot day where there may be no power for hours
• Offload and back up to two locations before the card is cleared, without exception
• Shoot to what the edit will need — coverage, cutaways and room tone — rather than only the shot you like

Skills required

Day to day this role works with Cinematography, Camera Operation, Lighting and Premiere Pro.

• Two or more years shooting professionally, with a reel we can watch
• Confident running a shoot alone: your own lighting, your own audio, no crew to fall back on
• Own or know your way around mirrorless bodies, gimbals and lav kits
• Two or more years shooting professionally, with a showreel
