  • Ensure technical excellence in footage, including exposure, focus, and frame composition
  • Monitor footage quality during shoots and coordinate with DITs or post teams as needed
  • Support creative problem-solving in the field under tight deadlines or shifting conditions
  • Able to keep on track and deadlines with call sheet timing for each shoot day.
  • Maintain a deep understanding of cinematic trends, equipment, and workflows


Qualifications

  • 6+ years of professional experience as a DP, cinematographer, or camera operator in the film or commercial industry

  • Strong portfolio or reel showcasing a range of visual styles and storytelling formats
  • In-depth knowledge of lighting design, camera movement, and shot composition
  • Experience working in both controlled environments and field/on-location shoots
  • Ability to lead a crew and communicate effectively with directors and producers
  • Familiarity with color grading workflows, LUTs, and working with post-production teams
