Videographer Needed for Scrappy, Social-First Brand Content in Los Angeles

Videographer Needed for Scrappy, Social-First Brand Content in Los Angeles About the Project Hey there!

I’m looking for a creative, energetic videographer based in Los Angeles who can get scrappy to help capture a large amount of authentic, social-first content for a start-up with a limited budget. This is not intended to be a highly polished commercial production.

I will be in LA at the end of the month, which is when filming would need to take place. Content I’d Like to Capture During the time, I want to capture a mix of: • Live reactions from people trying our products for the first time • Street-style interviews with people around Los Angeles • Founder-story clips and direct-to-camera videos • Lifestyle content featuring the product in different LA settings • Candid BTS moments that highlight the hustle, challenges, and excitement of growing a brand I can provide overall content ideas, but would love to work with someone who acts as a partner on this project. I would love to lean on your expertise to help ideate, and direct. Bonus if you can help identify great locations, suggest shots, and keep the filming process moving efficiently.
