Videographer - Cinematic Content & Social Media Content

ABOUT VOURLY

Vourly is a video production company based in the Seattle area that delivers cinematic-quality video content for businesses in construction, real estate, and commercial industries. Our work drives real revenue for real companies, and the quality of every shot we deliver directly impacts our clients' results. We're growing and looking for a skilled videographer to join our local team and help us produce standout content on location.

THE ROLE

This is an on-site shooting position. You'll be on location capturing footage for commercial projects, property walkthroughs, business profiles, and promotional content. You're not pointing a camera and pressing record. You're crafting visual stories that make businesses look cinematic.

If you've ever watched a 30-second commercial and thought "I could shoot that better," we want to talk to you.

WHAT YOU'LL BE DOING

- Shooting cinematic-quality video on location throughout the greater Seattle area

- Capturing commercial content for businesses in construction, real estate, and related industries

- Operating camera, lighting, and audio equipment to produce broadcast-ready footage

- Planning shots, setting up scenes, and managing on-site logistics independently

- Collaborating with our team on creative direction, shot lists, and project goals

- Delivering organized, properly labeled footage ready for post-production

- Maintaining and transporting your own gear to shoot locations (mileage and equipment use are compensated)

WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR

We need someone who lives and breathes video. This isn't a beginner position, but it's also not a "set it and forget it" role. Even experienced shooters will go through our onboarding process so your work matches the quality and style our clients expect.

Must-Haves:

- 2+ years of professional videography experience with a portfolio that proves it

- Proficiency with cinema cameras (Sony, Canon, Blackmagic, RED, or equivalent)

- Strong understanding of composition, lighting (natural and artificial), and camera movement

- Own reliable camera gear suitable for commercial shoots (body, lenses, stabilizer, audio)

- Valid driver's license and reliable transportation to reach shoot locations across the Seattle metro area

- Based in the greater Seattle area or willing to commute to shoots locally

- Clear, professional communication. You'll be representing Vourly on-site with clients

- Comfortable working independently on location while following creative briefs

Nice-to-Haves:

- Experience shooting real estate, construction, or commercial/industrial environments

- Drone operation experience (FAA Part 107 certified is a major plus)

- Video editing skills (Premiere Pro, DaVinci Resolve, or similar). If you can shoot AND edit, you'll stand out

- Experience with color science, LUTs, and shooting in LOG profiles

- Motion graphics or After Effects knowledge

- Experience working with direct-response advertising or content that needs to convert

ABOUT THE ROLE

- Pay: $30 - $35/hour based on experience

- Type: Part-time to start (15-25 hours/week), with ability to scale to full-time as projects grow

- Location: On-site throughout the greater Seattle area. Shoots are scheduled in advance

- Training: Even experienced videographers go through our onboarding. We'll train you on our workflow, client communication standards, and the specific style our clients expect. You bring the skill. We bring the system

- Growth: This isn't a dead-end gig. We're building a team, and the right person will grow with us into lead shooter, creative director, or team lead roles

HOW WE WORK

We value quality over speed, but we also respect deadlines. If a shoot needs to look a certain way, we'll give you the creative direction and trust you to execute. If something isn't working on location, we expect you to problem-solve, not wait for instructions. We want someone who takes ownership of every frame.

Communication matters. If you're running late to a shoot, tell us. If you think the shot list is missing something, speak up. If a location isn't working, offer a solution. We want a collaborator who cares about the final product as much as we do.

THE INTERVIEW PROCESS

If your application stands out, here's what happens next:

1. Portfolio Review - We'll watch your 3 submitted pieces and evaluate your visual style, technical quality, and storytelling

2. Video Interview - A short video call to discuss your experience, workflow, availability, and fit

3. Test Shoot - If you pass the interview, we'll set up a test shoot so we can see how you perform on location. We're evaluating your eye, your professionalism, and how you work under real conditions

We're not looking for a copy of our current style. We want to see what YOU bring to the table.

Pay: $28.45 - $34.26 per hour

• Flexible schedule
