ISO: Videographer & BTS Content Creator

Job Position(s): ISO: Videographer & BTS Content Creator

Jay is hiring a Videographer and BTS Content Creator for a shoot taking place in Hamilton, Ontario on July 12th. This is a dual-role position covering both cinematic camera work for an engagement shoot and vertical social media content capture, functioning as a one-person production unit across two distinct deliverable formats. It suits an intermediate-level shooter who is equally comfortable pulling polished narrative footage and working fast on behind-the-scenes content for short-form video production.

About the Role

This is a single-day freelance engagement covering approximately two hours of shooting time, with Jay directing the creative vision on set. The videographer will handle both the primary cinematic capture and the secondary BTS content layer, which means managing two shooting priorities within a compact commercial photography and video production workflow. It is a lean shoot that rewards someone who can shift between composed, deliberate framing and quick, reactive vertical capture without losing quality in either.

Key Responsibilities

• Capture cinematic footage of an engagement shoot, maintaining visual consistency and intentional composition throughout the session.
• Shoot behind-the-scenes vertical content formatted for social media platforms, covering the production process and candid moments on set.
• Manage your own camera and audio setup for a two-hour short-form video production shoot with no dedicated camera department support.
• Deliver footage that serves both a polished primary edit and a separate social media content pipeline from the same shoot day.
• Coordinate with Jay on set to ensure BTS coverage does not disrupt primary cinematic shooting angles or talent direction.

What You Bring

• Intermediate videography experience with a portfolio demonstrating cinematic shooting in event or lifestyle-based production contexts.
• Proven ability to shoot vertical content for social media, with an understanding of aspect ratios, pacing, and platform-specific framing.
• Self-sufficiency with your own camera kit appropriate for a small-scale commercial video production engagement.
• Familiarity with behind-the-scenes content capture as a distinct creative discipline, not just incidental phone footage.
• A current portfolio and clear rate card ready to submit at the time of application.

Why This Role

Jay is offering a focused, well-defined two-hour freelance engagement on July 12th in Hamilton, Ontario, with a clear scope and a single creative lead to work with. For videographers building a reel across both narrative and social media content formats, this Videographer and BTS Content Creator role adds credits in two distinct output categories from one shoot day. The short duration and clear deliverables make this a low-friction booking with practical portfolio value.
