Job description

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.

Key Responsibilities

1. Videography

• Operate video cameras to capture main footage, B-roll, and interviews across corporate and branded productions.
• Execute camera movements, angles, and framing that support the project's narrative in close collaboration with the Director or DOP.
• Maintain visual consistency throughout the shoot, including exposure, white balance, and framing continuity.
• Monitor audio levels when required and flag technical issues promptly.

2. Camera Assistant

• Assist with building, balancing, and breaking down camera packages (both cinema and mirrorless systems).
• Manage on‑set media safely, including timely offloading and secure storage of digital assets.
• Handle lens changes, battery management, and keep all camera equipment clean and organised.
• Pull focus or manage the slate/clapperboard when supporting another DOP or camera operator.

3. Gaffer / Grip (Lighting & Rigging)

• 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.
• Promptly report any equipment issues or damages to the lead producer or DOP.
• Physically handle, transport, and operate production equipment safely on all shoot days.

Requirements

Education

• Diploma or Degree in Film, Media Production, Cinematography, or a related discipline from a recognised institution (e.g., Ngee Ann Polytechnic, Republic Polytechnic, NAFA, LASALLE, or equivalent).
• Graduation from a film school or polytechnic film/media programme is required.

Experience & Skills

• Fresh graduates are welcome - on‑set experience during school productions, internships, or short‑term contracts counts.
• Strong working knowledge of professional camera systems (DSLR, mirrorless, cinema cameras) and accessories including gimbals and monitoring solutions.
• Solid understanding of cinematography principles: composition, colour, and exposure.
• Familiarity with the corporate video production environment - understanding client‑facing shoots, tight timelines, and professional conduct on set.
• Experience working as part of a crew, including understanding of on‑set hierarchy, communication, and role responsibilities.
• Basic proficiency in lighting setups and clean audio capture.
• Physically fit and able to handle and transport production equipment safely.

Preferred Attributes

• Prior experience on corporate video, commercial, or branded content shoots.
• Comfortable in a team‑oriented production environment serving corporate clients.
• Calm, professional, and safety‑conscious on set.
• Punctual, dependable, and detail‑oriented.
• Positive attitude and genuine willingness to learn and grow within a production team.
• Comfortable working long hours or irregular shoot schedules when required.
