TypeFreelance project

Posted1 hour ago
I am heading to Venezuela for a fast-moving breaking-news assignment and need a versatile local partner who can operate as both cameraman and fixer from day one. The story will unfold live, so you must be comfortable running full-broadcast workflows on the fly—think ENG shoulder camera, wireless audio, LiveU pack or equivalent, and a solid grasp of satellite or bonded-cellular uplinks.
Your role goes beyond shooting. I will rely on you to:
• Supply and transport all production gear—HD camera, tripod, lights, mics, IFB, backups, everything needed for live hits.
• Secure locations, permits, and safe access in real time while maintaining situational awareness.
• Line up on-the-ground interviews and coordinate local transport, crews, and last-minute logistics.
• Deliver a clean, stable live signal plus a recorded safety copy for post.
Acceptance criteria
• Reliable HD 1080i/50 or 60 live feed with synced audio.
• At least two redundant connectivity options tested on site.
• Raw ISO files transferred to our cloud within six hours of wrap.
• Basic English communication on comms during live segments.
If you know the terrain, have your own fully kitted broadcast setup, and thrive under the pressure of breaking news, let’s talk today—the first live cross could happen within 72 hours.
