About Corbin Visual ????

Corbin Visual is a full-service video production company and content lab that can help your brand figure out what it needs, polish it, then pull it off for you. We provide companies big and small with the creative tools they need to speak “social” and convey cultural relevance.

About the Job ????

Corbin Visual seeks an outgoing, organized and detailed-oriented Associate Producer to support the company’s growing roster of clients, artists and production professionals. Should your previous experience position you for success as a Production Coordinator , we are open to providing the necessary training and skills development to grow into the role of Associate Producer.

About You ????

???? You are a natural problem solver who’s solution-oriented mindset is only matched by your love for finding the perfect meme that captures the absurdity of the problem itself.

???? You love creating something out of nothing, and understand that the journey is the destination.

Production Scheduling ???? As the main point of contact on projects you will keep our clients and crews on task, on time and on budget. Oh and call sheets? Your new best friend ????

Budgeting ???? Managing production budgets can feel like herding cats sometimes because of how quickly scopes and resources change but those wily felines are no match for your keen attention to detail.

Managing Set ???? With all the obstacles in the way of projects getting to camera, when we finally get to set, it’s happy days. With the creative in the capable hands of your Producer and Director, your attention will turn to client and crew happiness…what does that mean? Well it can mean a lot of different things depending on the nature of the shoot, but in essence, you are there to help make it all happen.

Post Production Coordination ???? Once the footage is in the can, the sprint (or marathon) to the finish line begins. In addition to assisting our offline editor with briefs, you will also liaise with post production services and facilities (sound, colour et al) to make the finished work sparkle.

What is an entertainment career?

An entertainment career encompasses a broad spectrum of roles and activities within the creative industries, including film, television, music, theater, and digital media. These careers involve the creation, production, and distribution of content designed to entertain, inform, and engage audiences. Here’s a closer look at the various aspects of an entertainment career, what it involves, and the opportunities it presents.

Key Sectors in Entertainment

1. Film and Television: This sector includes jobs ranging from acting, directing, and screenwriting to more technical roles like cinematography, sound engineering, and editing. Professionals in this field work on movies, TV shows, commercials, and documentaries.

2. Music: Careers in music are diverse and can range from performing as a singer or instrumentalist to roles behind the scenes such as music production, songwriting, and managing artists.

3. Theater: Theater professionals may work as actors, directors, set designers, or playwrights. This field emphasizes live performances and often requires a strong background in performing arts.

4. Digital Media: With the rise of internet content consumption, digital media careers have become highly popular. This includes digital content creation, animation, video game design, and roles in emerging platforms like streaming services.

5. Event Management and Promotion: This involves organizing concerts, premieres, sports events, and other entertainment functions. Careers here include event planners, promoters, and logistical support roles.

Educational Paths

Most roles in entertainment require a combination of formal education and hands-on experience. Degrees in film, theater, music, digital arts, or media studies are common among professionals in this field. However, many skills in the entertainment industry are honed through apprenticeships, internships, and on-the-job training.

Skills Required

A successful career in entertainment often demands creativity, perseverance, and a strong work ethic. Technical skills specific to an industry segment—like editing software proficiency for filmmakers or digital audio workstations knowledge for music producers—are also crucial. Soft skills, such as communication, teamwork, and networking, are essential, given the collaborative nature of the industry.

Career Opportunities and Challenges

Entertainment careers can be incredibly rewarding, offering the chance to work on creative projects and sometimes gaining public recognition. However, these careers can also be highly competitive and unpredictable. Job stability can be an issue, as work is often project-based and may involve periods of unemployment between gigs. Moreover, the rise of digital technologies continues to reshape career paths in entertainment, creating new opportunities but also challenges for traditional roles.

Conclusion

An entertainment career can be dynamic and exciting, suited for those passionate about creating content that moves and entertains audiences. Whether you’re drawn to the spotlight or interested in the technical and strategic sides of the industry, there’s a wide range of opportunities to explore. As with any field, success in entertainment requires dedication, adaptability, and continual learning.

For anyone considering this path, understanding the scope of the industry, the necessary skills, and the typical career trajectories can provide a solid foundation for making informed decisions about entering and navigating this competitive field.

What is the highest paying job in the entertainment industry?

2. Producer
Producers play a crucial role in all aspects of film, television, and theater production. They manage the production’s financials, coordinate between the cast and crew, and ensure the project stays on schedule and within budget. Successful producers, especially those who work on blockbuster films or hit TV shows, can earn substantial sums, particularly if they also receive a share of the profits.

Successful music producers can earn a lot, especially if they produce hits for well-known artists or score successful films or TV shows.

6. Cinematographer
A cinematographer, or director of photography, is responsible for the visual elements of a film, television show, or commercial. They work closely with the director to create the visual atmosphere of the production. Top cinematographers are in high demand and command high salaries, especially in major film productions.

Conclusion
These roles represent just a few of the high-paying careers in the entertainment industry. The actual highest-paying job can vary year by year based on market trends, the success of particular projects, and individual negotiations.

3. Build a Portfolio or Reel
– Showcase Your Work: Create a compelling portfolio or reel that showcases your best work. For actors, this would be a highlight reel of performances; for filmmakers, a collection of their best-directed scenes; for musicians, recordings or videos of performances.
