Videographer in Dubai for monthly food content, real footage only, no AI

Posted 5 days ago

Worldwide

Summary

We are a marketing agency in Dubai. We run the social media for a restaurant brand and we are looking for one videographer to shoot for us every month, ongoing. WHAT YOU SHOOT Two shoot days a month, on location in Dubai, at the restaurant. Each month you deliver the footage for five short films and the stills for about twelve posts. It is food, people and place. The five films are five different pieces, not one piece shot five ways. WHAT YOU DELIVER, AND THIS IS THE IMPORTANT PART You deliver selects, not an edit. That means the good takes and only the good takes, trimmed at the top and tail, named and organised in folders. Nothing shaky. Nothing out of focus. Nothing badly framed. No knocked camera, no false starts, no half takes. You throw the rubbish away before you send it. If we open the folder and find a card dump, that is not the job. You do not colour it. You do not cut it together. You do not add music, captions, titles or sound mixing. You do not export for any platform. We do all of that in house. Capture clean audio on every take even when you think nobody will use it. It costs you nothing and it cannot be recovered later. A HARD RULE, AND IT IS A TERM OF THE CONTRACT Everything you deliver must be 100% real photography and 100% real video, filmed by you, on a real camera, of the real food, on the day. No AI generated images or video. No AI stock or AI b roll. No AI upscaling, no AI frame interpolation, no AI background or sky replacement. No footage shot by anybody else passed off as yours. Anything delivered that contains AI generated or AI altered material is a breach of this contract and is not paid for. We check. WHAT WE GIVE YOU Before every shoot day you get a written brief, a shot list, and the brand files. You are not asked to invent the concept. You are asked to execute a brief and to make it better inside the frame, which is where a good shooter earns the money. WHAT YOU NEED You are based in Dubai and can get to a shoot in person. You own your camera, lenses and lighting. Videography is your main craft and you also shoot stills to a commercial standard, because this job needs both every month. You have shot food or product before, and you have shot other things too. You can read a brief and follow it. BUDGET AED 1,000 or USD 300 per month, paid monthly, for an initial three months. HOW TO APPLY Send a link to your reel or portfolio. Applications with no reel are not read. Then answer these five questions in your proposal: 1. Link your reel or portfolio, and name the two pieces in it you shot entirely yourself. 2. Confirm in one line that every frame you deliver will be filmed by you on a real camera, with no AI generation, no AI upscaling and no AI replacement of any kind. 3. What camera, lenses and lighting do you own and would bring to a food shoot? 4. We ask for selects, not an edit. In your own words, what will be in the folder you send us after a shoot day, and what will not be? 5. You have two shoot days a month for five separate short films plus stills. How would you plan those two days, and what would you need from us before day one?
