Employment - Editorial

Videomaker Inc., publisher of Videomaker Magazine, is looking for Northern California area Video Producers who can instruct on the concepts of video production and teach at our occasional workshops held on Friday, Saturday and Sunday at Videomaker headquarters in Chico. We are also seeking local free-lance candidates who can evaluate and review products for our magazine/website.

Video Workshop Instructors:

Do you know how to produce video using consumer gear well enough to teach techniques to others? Do you understand the technology well enough to explain it? Do you have a command of the business or legal aspects of video production? Do you have tips to share with aspiring videographers? Do you speak well before groups?

Instructors MUST have a good understanding of the basics of video production, including but not limited to: Lighting techniques, studio setup, location sound gathering, shooting techniques, and video editing. The video editing segment of the workshops require the instructors to understand Adobe Premiere Pro and the ability to teach and perform the following editing techniques: insert editing using multiple video tracks, audio insert editing including dialog, music and sound effects, basic titles and uploading a finished project to our YouTube channel.

Instructors will begin working with a class that has been in lectures in the morning on Fridays, taking the theory learned from those classes to practical use with production planning using shot sheets and story boards, followed by shooting the planned project in both studio and on location on Saturday, and finally editing the finished product for a final showing and uploading to YouTube Sunday afternoon.

There will be two or more tracks run simultaneously, and the work hours are Friday from 1:00 to 5:00, Saturday form 8:00 to 5:00 and Sunday from 8:00 to 1:00. You must be available at all of the workshop times. No split schedules. This link takes you to the Workshop events page on our website: http://events.videomaker.com/

Only local video producers with the skill level to teach a class on video production techniques should apply.

Video Product Reviewers:

We also need skilled local Northern California video producers with writing abilities to test product for review. Reviewers must have a good command of writing skills, and the ability to objectively test video production equipment. Equipment includes consumer to prosumer camcorders, mics, lights, hardware and editing software. Product reviews must reflect expertise as well as good grammar and composition for publishing in Videomaker magazine and our website.

Applicants please submit cover letter and resume' to editor@videomaker.com and put "Chico Workshops" or "Review Writers" in the subject line.
