Embedded Filmmaker

Shooting, editing and motion graphics. It's all in a days work for our filmmakers.

We're looking for a highly skilled editor and camera operator with at least four years experience. You'll have an outstanding showreel demonstrating a variety of editing and shooting styles, as well as an in depth understanding of various software packages and their respective workflows. The ability to combine great storytelling with creative flair is a must. Motion graphics experience is essential.

There are two parts to this role. The first is joining our Chicago production office. It's an opportunity to make your mark on a new team as Casual expands its global footprint. A startup mentality with an entrepreneurial spirit will go a long way. Working smartly and efficiently is crucial. You will be well versed in kit and set management with the ability to oversee other crew members / post production staff to deliver videos that consistently exceed our client's expectations. 

The second part is being embedded at a large financial firm for a set number of days per week (TBC) over the course of a six month period (with the possibility of this being extended). During this time you will report directly to the client, providing shooting, editing and asset management whenever it is required. As such, excellent client service is a must, as well as a proactive and independent work ethic. 

Additional compensation will be paid in the form of a quarterly bonus for the time you spend embedded at the client's office.

Candidates must be Chicago based and willing to work at the client location (downtown Chicago) for some/all of the embed period.

To apply, please submit the form below...
