Hello,

Zoomin.TV is looking for a qualified video journalist to shoot the expected protests in Washington D.C. during Drumpf’s inauguration on January 20, 2017 and we are also looking for someone to shoot the planned Women’s March on January 21st. This is for a short, online video so shooting won’t last long at all (3 hours MAX each day).

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. Because this piece would be a time sensitive, news piece, we would need the footage sent to us same day.

We pay via Paypal and we also cover up to $50 of your travel expenses with proof of receipt for any gas, parking or public transport. 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.

If you are available on one or both days, please note the equipment you use as well as a link to your reel.

Thank you,

Nicole
