Who We're Looking For We're much more interested in what you can create than what's written on your résumé. A strong candidate should have: * A portfolio or reel demonstrating strong video work * Experience filming and editing * Strong understanding of composition, movement, lighting, and visual storytelling * Proficiency with Premiere Pro, DaVinci Resolve, Final Cut Pro, or comparable professional editing software * Understanding of short\-form social media content * Ability to edit longer YouTube\-style videos * Photography experience * Strong file\-management and organizational habits * Reliable transportation and the ability to travel to shoots throughout the Los Angeles area * Ability to work independently while executing established creative objectives * Genuine interest in automotive culture Automotive production experience is strongly preferred, but not required if your portfolio demonstrates strong technical ability and visual taste. Students nearing graduation, recent graduates, self\-taught creators, and established freelancers are all welcome to apply. Contractor Structure This is an **independent contractor (1099\) relationship, not an employee position**. Compensation is based on an agreed upon recurring production scope. The contractor: * Is free to maintain and work with other clients * Controls their own post\-production workflow and working schedule, subject to agreed shoot times and project deadlines * May complete editing and post\-production from their own workspace * May optionally use available workspace at participating automotive locations when convenient * Is responsible for their own taxes, insurance, and other obligations associated with independent work * Does not receive employee benefits from NOCTIS, including health insurance, paid vacation, retirement benefits, or other employee benefit programs Some shoots must naturally occur at specific locations and times based on vehicle, client, or event availability. Equipment We prefer candidates who have access to their own professional production setup, including a camera, lenses, editing computer, and editing software. Experience with gimbals, wireless audio, lighting, action cameras, and automotive rigging is a plus. Please tell us what equipment you currently own and regularly use. Additional production equipment may be available depending on the project. Why This Role Is Different This isn't a position where you'll spend every week filming the same product against the same wall. You'll have regular access to a wide range of vehicles and automotive environments, with opportunities to build a substantial professional automotive portfolio while helping develop several growing automotive brands. You'll also have meaningful creative freedom at the production level. Overall concepts and brand direction will be established collaboratively, while we're looking for someone who can bring their own technical skill, visual instincts, and ideas to execution.
