Automotive Videographer & Content Creator

Company: Park Lane Motors Location: Dubai, UAE

Employment Type: Full-time

About Us: Park Lane Motors is a premier destination for luxury and performance vehicles in Dubai. From rare hypercars to the latest SUVs, our showroom is home to automotive excellence. We don't just sell cars; we sell a lifestyle. We are looking for a visionary Automotive Videographer to capture the speed, beauty, and craftsmanship of our inventory.

The Role: You will be the lens of Park Lane Motors. We need someone who can turn a static car into a cinematic masterpiece. You will be responsible for conceptualizing, shooting, and editing high-quality video content for our social media channels (Instagram, TikTok, YouTube) and website.

Key Responsibilities:

• Cinematic Production: Shoot high-quality walkarounds, interior detail shots, and high-energy "rolling shots" of luxury vehicles.
• Social Media Mastery: Produce fast-paced, trend-driven short-form content (Reels/TikToks) that grabs attention within the first 3 seconds.
• Post-Production: Handle all aspects of editing, including color grading, sound design, and motion graphics to ensure a premium look.
• Storytelling: Work with our sales and marketing team to script and storyboard creative content that highlights the unique selling points of our vehicles.
• Equipment Management: Maintain and organize camera gear, lighting, audio equipment, and gimbals.

To be considered, candidates must meet the following criteria:

1. Technical Expertise:

• Proficiency in Editing Software: Expert-level command of Adobe Premiere Pro, DaVinci Resolve, or Final Cut Pro X.
• Camera Gear Mastery: Extensive experience with mirrorless cameras (Sony A7SIII/FX3 or similar), gimbals (DJI Ronin), and drone operation.
• Lighting Knowledge: Understanding of how to light reflective surfaces (cars) to highlight lines and curves without unwanted glare.

2. Automotive Passion:

• Car Knowledge: You must know the difference between a Turbo S and a GT3. A genuine passion for car culture allows you to capture the details that enthusiasts care about.
• Driving License: A valid UAE Driving License is mandatory (you will often need to reposition cars or drive the "chase car" for filming).

3. Portfolio:

• Showreel Required: Applications without a portfolio or showreel specifically featuring automotive cinematography will not be considered. We want to see how you shoot motion and static metal.

4. Soft Skills:

• Time Management: Ability to turn around high-quality edits quickly to keep up with our fast-moving inventory.
• Adaptability: Comfortable shooting in various environments, from our air-conditioned showroom to outdoor desert locations.

What We Offer:

• Access to film some of the world's most exclusive cars daily.
• Creative freedom to experiment with new styles and trends.
• Competitive salary and performance bonuses.
• A dynamic, high-energy work environment.
