StudiGo is a mobile studio-in-a-van that works (as a vendor) with news channels to facilitate live studio interviews for their guests.
Our clients send the StudiGo to the guest’s home ... so the guest doesn’t have to go anywhere. The guest sits inside our studio-on-wheels and does the live interview from the comforts of their driveway.
This is what the StudiGo looks like: https://youtu.be/UGPVzBSM45U
The Freelance Technical Broadcast Operator acts as a jack-of-all-trades in the van --- driver, cameraman, producer, etc.
We can train the right person, but you must have had some have some previous production experience, preferably with video, and:
- able to drive and comfortably operate a transit van (reverse park, sometimes night drive)
- be at least 25 years old (due to insurance), with a clean driving record (no accidents or moving violations)
- be confident, reliable, responsive and communicative
- present professionally
- have a legal right to work in US (and provide a 1099) and have a clean driving record.
While the job is technical, not editorial, having a general interest in news is beneficial. The ideal candidate must also work well under pressure. (This is the news business after all.)
Most of the work is during the evening (during the prime time shows), but we occasionally get early morning requests, as well. So it is vital that you are able to wake-up in the mornings.
We are looking to train a freelance operator who will cover one day a week (the same day each week) on regular basis. As the requests come in, the operator is deployed. This operator may also be called up on pick up other shifts during the week if the primary operator is unavailable.
The StudiGo van is parked in Winthrop, so the ideal candidate should live relatively close.
Compensation is based per-gig, and most gigs are completed in under 5 hours, start to finish. If there a multiple gigs per day, you can earn more. (Meaning, if there are 4 bookings in a day, you'll earn more than if there are one or two bookings.) They is also daily retainer rate.
Please send along a resume, and also indicate which days of the week you are interested in working. And please write the word "moon" so I know you read the whole thing.
