Job Description:
Wild Lens is a non-profit dedicated to bringing biologists and filmmakers together to better communicate to the public the various risks to habitat and wildlife species, particularly in understudied populations. Wild Lens is looking for dedicated videographers and photographers willing to document their experiences at various field jobs throughout the country and internationally. Primary duties will include documenting key study components and objectives through film (preferably over photographs), interviewing primary investigators when possible, obtaining signed release forms from individuals for Wild Lens, sending footage to Wild Lens upon conclusion of the field season, working with film producers during post-production, and possibly shooting additional footage when needed after the field job is complete. Videographers must be willing to take the time necessary to obtain footage that will ultimately be used to compose and edit a short Webisode that will be posted on the Wild Lens website and on YouTube. To see an example of a previous Webisode, visit this link (URL: http://www.wildlensinc.org/webisodes/index.php?wid=4). Flip cameras capable of shooting HD video will be provided along with SD cards to those applicants not already in possession of a high quality camera. This camera will be yours to keep upon completion of the field season, in lieu of pay. Duration: Dependent on Field Job. Salary: ~$150.00 or a Kodak HD Pocket Video Camera.
