Videographer / Gaffer & Grip / Photographer

Job Position(s): Videographer / Gaffer & Grip / Photographer

 

About the Role

We are seeking a creative, reliable, and highly skilled Videographer to join our growing production team, primarily serving the corporate video market. This is a hands-on, on-set role suited for a visual storyteller who has trained in a film school environment and understands what it takes to work professionally on a crew.

You will be part of a collaborative team producing high-quality branded and corporate video content — from talking-head interviews and internal communications to full-scale commercial productions. Whether you are behind the camera, rigging lights, or gripping on set, you bring a crew-first mentality and a strong foundation in filmmaking practice.

Fresh graduates from film school or polytechnic film/media programmes are welcome to apply, provided you have real on-set experience.

• Operate video cameras to capture main footage, B-roll, and interviews across corporate and branded productions.

• Pull focus or manage the slate/clapperboard when supporting another DOP or camera operator.

• Set up, adjust, and operate lighting fixtures to achieve the desired mood and exposure.

• Handle grip equipment securely, including light stands, C-stands, flags, nets, diffusers, and rigging systems.

• Ensure lighting continuity across scenes and collaborate with the camera team to shape light and control shadows.

• Safely load, unload, and transport lighting and grip gear; identify and mitigate on-set hazards related to cables, tripods, and rigging.

4. Photography

• Capture high-quality still images for commercial, social media, and community-based campaigns when required.

• Adapt to different photography styles — portraits, lifestyle, event coverage, and product shoots.

• Ensure optimal framing, composition, and exposure that align with the creative brief.

5. Equipment & Wrap

• Support pre-shoot prep, equipment checks, and the full strike and wrap-down of all production setups.
