**Dates & Hours:**
- **Sunday, October 11 – Setup:** 8:00 AM – 8:00 PM
- **Monday, October 12 – Event Day 1:** 8:00 AM – 6:00 PM
- **Tuesday, October 13 – Event Day 2 & Teardown:** 8:00 AM – 11:00 PM
**Compensation: $1,500 total for all three days**

## CAMERA OPERATOR
You will operate a professional video camera on a tripod during live presentations, primarily following speakers on stage and maintaining a clean medium shot with proper framing, headroom, focus and exposure.
You should be comfortable manually adjusting basic camera settings such as iris, focus, gain and shutter speed.
Experience with Blackmagic Studio Cameras is a plus, but not required.
On Sunday, you will assist with general AV setup, including running cables, setting up equipment, pipe and drape, cameras and other production tasks. You will also help with teardown on Tuesday evening.
This is **not a training position**. We need someone who already has live-event production experience and can come in ready to work.
A great attitude is extremely important. You should be reliable, professional, able to take direction, willing to help wherever needed and able to check your ego at the door.
You should also be physically capable of helping with setup and teardown, including lifting equipment up to approximately 50 lbs.
You do not need to bring any equipment.
