Cinema Team Lead / Videographer / Video Editor

Making the Moment is an established, high quality creative cinematography + photography company based on the West Side of Cleveland, Ohio.

We’re looking for a Passionate Visionary, someone excited about creative intent and style. Our full time staff of 8 creative professionals desires to have a fun and friendly creative sojourner who will pair well with us.

The ideal candidate will possess experience in video editing [ NLE experience is a must; be it FCPX / Premier / ETC ] as well as experience behind the camera. Largely, this person will work directly alongside our Cinema Team as a principal editor, as well as a first camera operator on our wedding and commercial shoots.

NLE / EDIT EXPERIENCE

That means Final Cut Pro X, Adobe Premiere, or something similar. Know some After Effects or Resolve? Bonus points, but not necessary.

EVENT EXPERIENCE

You don’t need Event or Wedding experience, but we are looking for someone with Creativevideo capture and basic editing experience; someone who wants to grow and learn

ORGANIZATIONAL LEADERSHIP

We’re not a fly by night organization; the ideal candidate can balance production schedules, client communications and working with external partners to keep our creative productions fun, organized and snazzy.

COMPENSATION

WORK IN OFFICE + AT HOME

Our space is pretty awesome; located by Crocker Park in Westlake. Our clients love it. You will too.

While our in office team dynamics are central to our work and brand, we also embrace flexibility and trust. If you’d find some freedom and enjoy working remotely, this position does allow for a mix of in office and remote work options after a seasonal break-in period on the team.

ONLY THE BEST WILL BE CONSIDERED

We’re choosy and picky over anyone working as part of our team; we have a high pedigree and reputation as the best wedding photographers and filmmakers in the world, and to be a part of this small team we’re looking for only the best.

As a small creative office we boast an in-house staff team of 8 committed individuals. We are only accepting one more person into the fold of our full time staff team, so please know that to be considered for the position requires you to be of the very best artists and professionals in our field.

Please do not apply if you are not serious about being a leader and a visionary in the world of wedding filmmaking. Much to the same; please only apply if you feel your work excels beyond the typical wedding videographer’s work.

WE HAVE REAL LIFE DINOSAURS

Yup. We have dinosaurs and you can ride them. They’re amazing and dangerous. One of them is a brontosaurus and we tried to feed him peanut butter and het got hella-mad.
