Freelance Videographer — Gym / Movement Training (San Diego)

Freelance Videographer — Gym / Movement Training (San Diego) Location: San Diego, CA Type: Freelance / Contract Setting: Indoor gym Gear: Camera available if needed (you bring tripod / basic accessories) About the Project I’m looking for a reliable freelance videographer to set up and capture well-framed, aesthetically clean video of joint- and tissue-specific training in a gym setting. The work includes mobility training, isometrics, controlled strength work, and some strongman movements. Much of the training (including FRC-style work) is intentionally slow, subtle, or static, so the priority is composition and framing, not action tracking. I have a camera if necessary. The primary goal of this role is to offload setup, framing, and clip handling so I can remain focused on training. What Matters Most in This Role This is not high-energy sports videography. What matters is: A strong eye for composition and aesthetics Comfort making static or minimally moving shots feel intentional Clean framing, background awareness, and visual consistency Working quietly and respectfully in a gym environment If you enjoy making subtle movement look thoughtful and visually compelling, this will be a good fit. Responsibilities Set up camera and tripod before sessions Frame shots thoughtfully (angles, spacing, background, symmetry) Adjust framing between sets as needed (minimal disruption) Manage basic setup and breakdown Capture footage during training without interrupting flow Organize and deliver clips after each session Optional: light edits (trims, slow motion, basic color correction) Note: Camera movement is optional and minimal. Most shots will be locked-off or adjusted between sets. Deliverables Depending on preference: Raw footage, clearly organized Lightly edited clips (trimmed, slow-mo where appropriate) MP4 exports in 1080p or 4K We’ll align on this upfront. Ideal Background (Flexible) Videography, photography, or content creation experience Fitness, movement, yoga, or strength training exposure is a plus Comfortable shooting in gyms Editing experience (Premiere, Final Cut, DaVinci) is helpful but optional You do not need to be a high-end cinematographer. Why This Role Exists I’m working to share a simple idea: you don’t have to choose between moving well, looking good, and being strong — even after injury. To communicate that well, the visuals need to feel intentional and clean. Handling camera setup myself pulls me out of the meditative flow of training. This role exists to manage setup and framing so I can stay fully present, while the work is captured clearly and aesthetically. Compensation Negotiable based on experience and scope: Shooting only: $30–$60/hr Shooting + light edits: $40–$75/hr Per-session flat rates available Please include your preferred rate.
