We need someone who can navigate the inevitable madness with steady shots and not be afraid to ask a few questions to 3-4 protestors. We produce everything in house (including all interview questions) as well taking care of all post-production. We would just buy your raw footage.

Please allow for up to 14 days to have your invoice approved and paid. We do require that a videographer have an HD camera as well as a mic appropriate for quick interviews.

Thank you,
