Director of Photography

JOB:
Looking for a DP for a very exciting low budget punk music video shooting around December 16th for 1 full day, including filming for an hour on Manhattan Bridge and shooting the rest of the video at a studio in Journal Square in Jersey City.
The pay is $300.
 
They are preferably looking for someone who either owns or has access to their own camera (DSLR is okay) and a few lights. The director is the music artist herself. She’ll be on camera most of the time, so she prefers somebody who is patient, who can direct her when she can’t see herself when she’s in front of the camera, which is most of the time, and understands the badassery, humour and vision of punk, or at least somebody who can adapt to this kind of style. She will still be directing, she just needs somebody with a strong good eye when framing shots. Even better, if he/she finds him/herself a good director, although it’s a DP position.
 
It’s an attention-grabbing, sexy, energetic, non PC song that’s for the adventurous, so it’s not for the faint-hearted.
