About the Role
We are seeking a technically sharp cinematographer to join our team in the Bay Area. This role is for someone who deeply cares about the craft of cinematography, understanding why visuals work, and is comfortable owning camera, lighting, and grip setups across various productions. You will collaborate with directors and producers to shape the visual approach, execute on set, and manage footage through post-production.
Responsibilities
- Collaborate with directors and producers to develop the visual approach for each project and execute it on set
- Own/capable of owning camera, lighting, and grip setup across a range of productions: commercials, brand films, talking heads, interviews, and more
- Work within real-world budget constraints, get creative with what’s available, know where to spend and where to save, and deliver results that punch above their weight
- Offload footage, build DaVinci Resolve projects with correct settings, and keep projects organized from shoot through post
- Color grade projects and handle final exports from raw footage as needed
- Adapt to our workflow and pipeline, while helping improve it over time
- Wear different hats from project to project, depending on the needs of the production
Requirements
- Willing to relocate to the Bay Area and work on set in the SF area 3–4 days per week
- Strong technical foundation in camera systems, lighting, and grip
- Genuine passion for the craft of cinematography. You care about the things most people don’t notice: how exposure index shifts dynamic range latitude, why one lens renders bokeh differently than another, how different coatings change the character of an image, and what gives a particular set of glass its falloff
- Relentless attention to detail and high standards on every setup
- A make-it-work mentality within real-world budgets and constraints
- Equal care for talking heads, interviews, commercials, and brand films
- Willingness to adapt to our creative taste, quality standard, and production workflow
- Color grading and editing experience in DaVinci Resolve
- Prior cinematography experience required
- Comfortable with agency timelines, shifting production needs, occasional travel, and occasional weekend or after-hours production work
- Must have a car
