• Deep, hands‑on proficiency in Adobe Creative Suite — Premiere Pro, After Effects, Photoshop, and Lightroom .
• Strong working knowledge of current AI creative solutions such as Eleven Labs audio, Runway and Adobe Firefly visual tools.
• Strong working knowledge of pre‑production, production, and post‑production processes, including lighting, audio capture, color, and finishing.
• Proficiency with professional camera systems, lenses, lighting kits, and audio equipment.
• Excellent organizational, project management, and communication skills, with the ability to manage multiple concurrent projects and deadlines.
• Client‑ready communication and presentation skills; comfortable interfacing directly with internal stakeholders and client contacts.
• A collaborative, accountable, and solutions‑oriented mindset, with the professionalism to represent Motion Media on set and in front of clients.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience producing content for automotive OEMs or other enterprise/agency clients.
• Experience with Blackmagic cameras and studio production systems.
