Experienced Videographer / Editor — Personal Brand Content (South Austin)
compensation:Paid; please quote your filming rate for a 3–6 hour session and separate editing rates or a scoped monthly package. Rates agreed before work begins.
Looking for an experienced Austin-based videographer/editor to help create engaging content for a founder's personal brand.
SCHEDULE & LOCATION
1–2 filming sessions per week in South Austin, approximately 3–6 hours per session. Ongoing, paid opportunity. Editing is additional to filming time and can be completed remotely.
THE ROLE
You'll help develop concepts, plan and set up scenes, handle lighting and audio, provide direction during filming, and capture polished footage built for social audiences. We want someone who brings ideas and can turn a rough concept into a compelling video.
A deep understanding of hooks, lighting, and what content engages social audiences is required. You should know how to capture attention in the opening seconds and sustain it through storytelling, pacing, framing, and visual choices. You should be able to explain why a video works and apply that judgment to each shoot.
CONTENT & CREATIVE DIRECTION
Content will include entrepreneurship, behind-the-scenes business projects, building products with AI, personal stories, lessons from books, and conversations. Formats include cinematic talking-head scenes, documentary-style footage, screen recordings with voiceovers, and short videos for Instagram Reels, TikTok, and YouTube Shorts.
Creative references include Alex Hormozi's dark-background, side-profile talking-head setups and direct business content; Chris Williamson's thoughtful conversations; Steven Bartlett's emotional storytelling; and Greg Isenberg's AI and business-building content. These are references for developing an original style together.
REQUIRED EXPERIENCE
• Proven videography experience, ideally with personal brands, creators, interviews, or social content.
• Strong lighting, composition, and clean-audio skills.
• A deep understanding of hooks, audience engagement, and social storytelling.
• Ability to suggest scenes, locations, camera angles, questions, and stronger openings.
• Reliability and availability for recurring South Austin shoots.
Editing experience is strongly preferred. Please say whether you can also turn the footage into finished short-form videos. Deliverables, editing hours, turnaround times, and revision rounds will be agreed separately.

1. Three relevant video examples and your specific role in each.
2. A brief explanation of why one example worked, with performance results if available.
3. Your availability and equipment.
4. Your rate for a 3–6 hour filming session.
5. Separate editing rates, or a monthly package specifying sessions, finished videos, turnaround time, and revisions.
Please include actual work samples. Looking for a creative collaborator who can help make each shoot and each video better over time. Rates to be agreed before work begins.
