Dbrand — Toronto, Ontario
The Role Before we start in earnest, we'd like you to watch a handful of videos . Take your time -- the job ad will still be here when you're done. Back?
Good. Now, with that out of the way, here's the pitch: do you want to work with dbrand's Creative and Marketing teams to push the envelope of compelling, immersive video content for our online following of millions? Or would you prefer to continue whittling away at corporate training videos and product b-roll?
Our brand promise is "It's not a product. ™" That's a lot more than a catchphrase -- it's core to everything that we do. Whether we're sending our customers boxes full of glitter, roasting them on social media, or filming them getting our logo tattooed on their leg, we're in the business of selling a brand experience first, and (excellent) products second.
In return, we receive constant adoration from our devoted, cult-like fanbase. That, and their money. We won't lie: it's a pretty sweet deal.
In order to augment the dbrand experience with the top-shelf video content that our audience deserves, we require a Videographer -- the kind of person who turns up at a studio with a camera, lights a scene, captures footage that holds up on a 65-inch screen, and edits it into a flawless, finished cut. This is a practical production role: hands on the camera, eyes on the monitor, final cut on the timeline. If you like what you're reading, keep scrolling.
The Environment It's 3:00 PM on a random Tuesday and the Creative Strategist has a concept for the team's next project. You've never done a video like this before. Truthfully, you're pretty sure that nobody has.
Your excitement is palpable, your mind racing with ideas to enhance the pitch. Two days later, you're already immersed in storyboards, shotlists and schedules. You're a few hours removed from crushing through a prop list that contained everything from an oxygen mask to a bag of Cheetos.
The location's booked, the gear's been rented, the talent is scheduled. You know this feeling all too well: everything's coming together. When the day finally arrives, and everybody's en route to the set… you're already there.
Load-in, lights, mics, cameras, art direction, backup, storage, strike -- you own all of it, and you know that a successful shoot is 90% prep, 10% execution. It takes a lot of work to get the actors talking about how well-run the set is, but it's worth it every single time. It's 2:42 PM on a random Tuesday and you've just passed off a rough cut for editing -- after making selects, grading the footage, and mixing the audio, of course.
A new email's in your inbox. The Creative Strategist sent you a meeting invite. Time for the team's next project.
No two days at dbrand are ever alike, except that they'll always push you to do your best work for an audience of adoring fans. Sounds like a dream, right? Don't get ahead of yourself, though.
Before your perfectly-framed shots can thrill and delight our audience of over a million cultish followers, you'll need to prove yourself. Think you've got what it takes? Agile: You’re nimble.
