Looking for a budding videographer or video journalism (under)graduate for paid work experience

I head up the online work for the Chartered Institute of Management Accountants – we’re a global body which educates financially qualified, ethical, business leaders.

We produce a fair amount of video in house, and I am looking for someone to provide us with pockets of support over the next couple of months while a key member of my team is on sabbatical.

I think this will be particularly suited to a videographer or videojournalist seeking work experience, or perhaps in these difficult times you are an established talent who has found yourself suddenly and unexpectedly available for hire.

There will be fifteen to twenty days of shooting and editing over a two month period, using CIMA’s equipment. A successful period spent working with us could lead to more ad hoc work in the future.

You will spend your time producing a few interview-led interviews and/or promotional videos for us, based in our office in Westminster. The job involves the full range of skills – interviewing, camera operation, and editing. A small amount of domestic travel may be involved (at our expense).

 Here are a couple of examples of the sort of videos you will be producing:

If you watched those videos and thought “I can do that” or “I can do better than that” then I am keen to hear from you.

We use a Sony HVR-A1E camera, and Final Cut Express on a MacBook Pro to produce our videos. Experience with that kit is a definite advantage, though I will be on hand to work with you and supplement your knowledge with my own home-grown video experience.

We will be looking for someone to start in the next couple of weeks, and the right person can expect to earn about £3.5k (pre tax, obviously!) over the period.

If you think you might be the person I’m looking for, please drop me an email at robin.fenwick@cimaglobal.com telling me a little bit about yourself, and including a link to a video showreel or other examples of your work. We’ll take it from there. I look forward to hearing from you!
