Who Should Apply
This role fits tinkerers who own the right gear and enjoy executing precise recording routines. If you lack a 170°+ FOV camera or can't rig it for true third-person shots, this isn't the fit. Candidates often miss out by submitting clips under 60 seconds or with shaky, out-of-frame footage. The role also requires you to move through varied environments, so if you can't commit to outdoor and vehicle sessions, you'll struggle.
Salary Insight
$20/hour is the pay rate for this remote contractor position. No built-in benefits beyond that hourly rate. The full pay structure will be laid out during the interview process.
