What are the responsibilities and job description for the High School / Youth Sports Videographer/Camera Operator position at GridIron Productions, LLC?
If you enjoy capturing Live Action High School and Youth Football games on film then we should talk!
GridIron Productions is currently scheduling to film High School Football on Friday Nights with locations in the Central Florida(Metro Orlando) area now through the end of November/December (pending schedule changes and/or advancement during Playoffs).
We are hiring a few awesome people to help video these weekly games.
If you are good behind the camera and great in front of people then this is the perfect gig!
Pay is between $30 to $50 per Game depending upon experience and game level(High School or Youth).
Pay is weekly and we also offer a Paid Internship Program for those attending Colleges(UCF, Valencia, Full Sail, etc.).
High School Games - There will be one(1) game played per week, mostly Friday Nights(Friday Night Lights), though there may be an occasional game on Thursday.
Job Description: You will capture, mostly from on top of a press box, all the action happening on the GridIron performed by the various High School and/or Youth Football Teams at different locations throughout Central Florida. We do our best to schedule our operators to work the fields that are closest to their home to reduce travel though there are times that it can not be helped.
High School - Plan to work from 6-6:30pm(setup) you'll start filming at 7-7:30pm and cover all the action till the end of the game. Some games will be longer then others pending what each team does (ie passing team takes longer then a running team due to the clock stops for incomplete passes and to reset the ball when completed.).
Simple process... You will capture the action happening on the GridIron performed by the various High School and Youth Football Teams and meet up with me to deliver the footage that evening.
Optional - you may upload the film if you have FAST internet and do so immediately after the game(s). If I do NOT receive the entire game by midnight I will call and we will meet to swap SD cards.
