• Shoot & record content on-location (including with lights, diffusers, sliders, and stabilizers)
• Shoot & record content in-studio at the JoshuaOneNine Office (with a full Aputure lighting truss, green/blue screens, and a separate Vocal Booth)
• Create basic Animations and Edit your files & footage using the Adobe Creative Suite (Log/Raw/Wav files) into a compelling final audio/photo/video advertising product (including text caption overlays and end slates) for a variety of 15-sec, 30-sec, square, vertical & landscape social media and broadcast platforms.

• JoshuaOneNine uses Sony FX30 Cinema cameras. You will be responsible for using this body to its fullest, including getting the most out of its dual base ISO, 10-bit 4:2:2, and S-Log.
• We use a range of glass from Rokinon, Sigma, Sony, and Tamron, and are always looking to add lenses to our collection. You need to be an expert at keeping shots in focus.
• Current stabilization accessories including Edelkrone sliders, a FeiyuTech gimbal, and a Kessler pocket jib. You need to be an expert in stabilization. It's supposed to be fluid and smooth, not unintentionally jittery or shaky.
• The JoshuaOneNine Studio is outfitted with a suspended steel ceiling truss featuring multiple Aputure Nova P300c lights, and additional Aputure 300d II lights on Manfrotto pantographs. Depending on the needs of the shoot, you will be expected to safely and optimally position these around the rig as needed (occasionally being on a ladder 12-ft in the air, and attaching/removing light domes and diffusers), and operate them using a bluetooth app.
• Additionally, for on-location shoots, we use continuous LED panel lighting from Fovitec, Godox, Boling, and others. You will be responsible for managing their batteries, tripods, diffusers, soft boxes and barn doors when needed.
• The JoshuaOneNine Studio is also outfitted with a wall-mounted roller system containing vinyl green screen, white screen, and gray screen backdrops (as well as a separate blue screen). We regularly shoot on a green screen for ongoing client work, so your ability to use a green screen (lighting and positioning to avoid spill) and precisely key-out backgrounds in post will be critical.
• JoshuaOneNine uses the Adobe Creative Suite, and you will be expected to have a solid proficiency in video editing with Adobe software, primarily Premiere and After Effects, not simply to edit timelines and remove green screen, but also to accurately color-grade footage, use LUTs and filters, and export files properly.
• Text, captions, and graphic overlays are a critical component of video editing & production. Technical ability to add these text and graphic elements to videos is expected, as is the skill to add them with creativity, spell them correctly and with proper punctuation, and make choices according to client brand guidelines.

• Familiarity with After Effects is critical, as video ads often contain elements and end slates with motion graphics. This means moderate-level effects like parallax, animating text, smooth line and shape movements, and other simple visual effects that add motion and interest to Client ads. In short, you need to be familiar, capable, and competent. You don't need to be an expert, but if you've only opened After Effects once or twice, that would be a concern.

• JoshuaOneNine has a dedicated Vocal Booth in-studio which uses Electro-Voice RE20 microphones. You will be responsible for recording voice talent for use in radio, streaming audio, and video ads.
• During studio video shoots, audio is captured separately, often using a Deity S-Mic2 into a MixPre-3 as the primary shotgun boom, along with various on-camera mics for sync tracks, and occasional lavalier mics.
• You will be expected to have a solid grasp of Audition. We prefer audio not be done exclusively in Premiere.
• You may also be responsible for choosing licensed music for client projects through subscription services we use.

• JoshuaOneNine currently uses Sony A7 III cameras for photography. You will be responsible for using this body to its fullest, including getting the most out of its 24MP's and full-frame sensor.
• Same as video, we use a range of glass from Rokinon, Sigma, Sony, and Tamron, and are always looking to add lenses to our collection. You need to be an expert at keeping shots in focus.
• On-location, you will be responsible for capturing abundant food, cocktail, and product photography, portrait photography of people and animals, and interior and exterior photography at houses, stores, and even aircraft. Prior experience with food and product photography is highly desired.
• We regularly use continuous lighting during photoshoots, and you will be expected to know how to light a scene on location during a shoot. If you prefer flash over continuous LED lighting, that's fine. The final product is what matters.
• In-studio, you'll be expected to use studio lighting and backdrops to capture headshots, team shots, and portrait photography for corporate clients. This will include directing subjects into poses, angles & facial expressions, so being clear & personable is highly desired.
• Additionally in-studio, you will do regular macro jewelry photography (and video) of rings, diamonds, and other pieces. Lighting sparkly gemstones and shiny metals is no easy task, and you'll be expected to learn & improve.
• You will be expected to be highly skilled in photo editing, filters, and color tones using Lightroom and Photoshop. Much of the product, food, and cocktail photography you'll shoot will require layer stacking of multiple images that were lit differently, and your ability to generate great-looking composites will be critical.

• You will participate in brainstorming sessions with the team, expected to contribute creative ad ideas.
• You will be in charge of the Studios and the Gear Closet. This will include arranging and storing equipment as you see fit, keeping the areas clean, setting-up and tearing-down shoots, putting things away, sweeping the floor, and locking it all up at the end of every day. There will be a full inventory list, which you will be responsible for keeping updated.
