Videographer in New York — Careers
MadBroad Media is hiring part-time videographers in New York, NY to film and direct street interview ads for brands on Meta. $40 to $100 an hour.
About MadBroad
MadBroad Media is a street interview creative agency in New York. Our crews film real people reacting to our clients' products in cities and college towns across the country. We cut that footage into ads that brands run on Meta.
The role
You run the camera on our street interview shoots, and you direct them. On each shoot you work with one of our interviewers in New York. The interviewer asks the questions. You decide whether each take is good enough to use.
We call this role director because we want you to own the footage. When you see shaky footage, a bad frame, or an interviewer hogging the mic, you stop and say, "We can't use that. Let's do it again."
What you'll do
- Set up the frame: where the interviewer and guest stand, how high the camera sits, and which products are in the shot.
- Shoot steady, well-framed footage with clean sound.
- Watch each take as you film it, and reshoot any take with a bad frame, a missed line or a muffled answer.
- Keep the interviewer on the script and handing the mic to each guest.
- Upload the footage for each concept after the shoot.
- Read our field manager's notes on your footage and use them on your next shoot.
Who should apply
- You have shot video and can send us a reel or recent footage.
- Owning your own camera is a plus.
- You can tell a usable take from a bad one, and you speak up on the spot.
- You are comfortable filming strangers on city streets.
- You live in or near New York.
How it works
You choose your hours. Each week you enter the times you're free in our app, and we book shoots inside them.
To get hired, you apply, take a short test, and film a paid trial shoot with one of our interviewers. If the trial goes well, you join the crew.
