Local Videographer Needed to Film Street Food & Local Culture

Posted last week

Worldwide

Summary

We’re building a YouTube channel called Street Uncovered, featuring interesting places, people, food, culture, and everyday life from around the world. I’m looking for people in different countries who can film original raw footage in the area where they live. This is NOT an editing job. I only need the raw footage. What you can film I’m open to many types of interesting local content, including: * Street food * Markets and night markets * Barbers and local services * Craftsmen and artisans * Beaches and boardwalks * Interesting neighborhoods and walking routes * Village life * Festivals and events * Transportation and busy streets * Unusual businesses, jobs, traditions, or experiences * Anything interesting that gives viewers a real look at your city or country The footage should have a purpose I do not want a collection of random clips. Each video should follow one subject, experience, or simple story. For example: Street food: show the location → vendor → preparation → cooking → finished food → customers. Barber: show the shop → barber/customer → haircut or shave → finished result. Craftsman: show the person → materials → process → finished product. Market. walk through the market → show interesting vendors/products → capture what makes the market unique. Beach or walking video: follow an interesting route and show what you experience along the way. You do not need to narrate or appear on camera. First test shoot For the first assignment I need: 5–10 minutes of usable raw footage Horizontal **16:9 Minimum **1080p Smartphone footage is fine Clear and reasonably stable video Natural sound Different angles when appropriate: wide shots, medium shots, and close-ups No editing required Budget $5–$10 fixed price per test video. If your footage is good, I am looking for people I can work with regularly and send additional paid filming assignments. Important The footage must be filmed by you specifically for this project. Do not send footage downloaded from the internet or footage belonging to someone else. The footage delivered for the project must not be uploaded, resold, or reused for other clients. I will need commercial rights to use and edit the footage for the Street Uncovered YouTube channel and related social media. When applying, please answer: 1. What city and country are you located in? 2. What phone or camera would you use? 3. Give me 3 specific video ideas you could film near you. 4. Send an example of footage you have personally filmed, if available. 5. Are you comfortable approaching local people or businesses when permission to film is needed? I’m especially interested in people who know their area well and can show viewers places, people, and experiences they normally wouldn’t get to see.
