SPECTRUM

Attention candidates with a background in cinematography, lighting and editing: We want to hear from you!

This person will need to be flexible to work on both a larger project – helping with shooting and editing – as well as shorter projects, all while maintaining efficiency and quality. For example, the video production specialist will often accompany a producer and a director of photography to shoot a second camera and then be responsible for post-production, based on the producer’s script. Other times, this person will act as a director of photography on a smaller shoot. The perfect candidate is one with high character, a seasoned skill set and an unending desire to hone his/her craft. For this particular role, a strong background in lighting and cinema cameras is a big plus.
