Videographer (Content & Production)

Hatchery Design Studio - Shooter (Videographer)

Role Overview

We're looking for a Shooter who can do more than just press record.

At Hatchery, a videographer is expected to:
Capture with intention
Think ahead of the edit
Deliver footage that is clean, usable, and purposeful

You are not here to just shoot -
you are here to solve problems on the ground.

What You'll Be Doing

• Handle on-site video production (corporate shoots, events, social content)

• Set up camera, audio, and basic lighting independently

• Ensure proper framing, exposure, and audio clarity

• Capture footage with editing in mind (coverage, angles, continuity)

• Manage equipment responsibly (setup, teardown, checks)

• Work closely with editor / director to ensure smooth post-production

What We're Looking For

• Experience with mirrorless cameras (Canon preferred)

• Solid understanding of:

  • Composition

  • Lighting basics

  • Audio capture (wireless mic, onboard backup)

• Able to adapt quickly on-site (things will change)

• Knows how to prioritize shots under time pressure

• Physically comfortable with long shoot hours when required

What Will Not Work Here

• Waiting for instructions for every shot

• Missing key moments during live events

• Poor handling of audio (this is a dealbreaker)

• Fix in post mindset

What Makes You Stand Out

• You think like an editor while shooting

• You anticipate moments instead of reacting

• You communicate clearly with team & clients

• You take ownership of your footage quality

Growth Path

You can grow into:

• Lead Videographer

• Director of Photography (DOP)

• Hybrid Shooter-Editor / Project Lead

Structure

• Based on experience (Full-time / Freelance options available)

• Project-based incentives possible

How to Apply

Send us:

• Portfolio (must include real shoot work, not just montage)

• Gear familiarity (bonus if you have your own gears)

• Availability

Final Note

If you're someone who:
Needs constant direction
Just wants to cover and go

This role won't fit.

But if you:
Take pride in your footage
Want to level up your craft
Can move fast with a team

We'll work well together.

Shortlisted applicants will be required to complete a paid trial shoot (2-4 hours).
