The right candidate for the Travel Show Videographer position at Plum Media is really a media “Jack-of-all- trades”. This person is comfortable shooting an assignment as an integral part of a team or on their own. Telling a story with smartly composed and framed images, while on the move, is essential. For interviews, leave the sticks in the car, put the ENG camera on your shoulder and be ready to move as the host walks and talks with guests. Listening to interviews while shooting and making mental notes of b-roll or pickup shots is important, as is becoming a silent participant in the interview rather than just capturing it as a passive observer.

Editing isn’t required, though the ability to envision how your footage could come together in post is an advantage. Likewise, knowledge of field audio is also beneficial. Following production, this person is capable of transferring the media and preparing it for post-production.

Working with the public in remote locations can be challenging. A videographer who can find a way to capture winning media in any situation and deliver an engaging visual story is a must. All that with a positive attitude and a smile on your face.

We have fun and look for people we just like to hang out with. Are you equal parts listener, speaker and listener (two ears, one mouth)? Do you see a bags game and take a toss? Are you adventurous in work and personal time?

The right candidate is all in. A perceptive person who sees when there is a need and takes care of it without being told. A self-starter committed to both clients and co-workers with unconditional enthusiasm. We are looking for someone who understands teamwork and high-end production value, who is not afraid to take charge yet delicately handle client relationships.

In addition to shooting, tasks may include: staffing production positions, functioning as a production assistant, media logging, file creation & conversion or other new media content. Interface with internal production teams on an as needed basis. Other duties as assigned.
