  • On-Set Leadership: Manage the on-set camera and lighting team, ensuring a smooth

and efficient shooting flow, and oversee the maintenance and care of all camera

equipment.

  • Multi-Environment Shooting: Expertly handle both indoor (classrooms, labs, studios)

and outdoor (campus, events) shoots with a strong aesthetic sense and exceptional

composition skills.

  • Post-Production Collaboration: Collaborate closely with the post-production (editing)

team to ensure visual consistency, proper color grading handoffs, and that the final

product matches the intended storytelling quality.

  • Hands-on Expertise: Demonstrable experience in shooting promotional/brand films,

documentary-style content, and dynamic events.

  • Core Skills: Excellent, instinctual understanding of framing, composition, exposure, lens

selection, and color theory.

  • Leadership: Ability to independently lead and manage all camera and lighting setups

from concept to execution.

  • Professionalism: Strong time management, adaptability, and creative problem-solving

skills, especially under the pressure of on-set schedules.

  • Flexibility: Must be willing and able to travel for shoots as required.

Preferred Skills (Highly Valued):
