Job Title: Junior Video Production Assistant
Company: Silver Blue Studio
Employment Type: Full-Time
Location: Chennai, Tamil Nadu (On-site)
About the Role
Silver Blue Studio is looking for a Junior Video Production Assistant to join our full-time video production team in Chennai. This is an entry-level opportunity for freshers who are genuinely interested in filmmaking, photography, camera work, and video editing, and want to gain hands-on experience across different types of professional video productions.
You don't need to be an experienced cinematographer or professional editor. However, you should have a basic understanding of shooting and editing videos, along with the willingness to learn and grow. You will be involved in different stages of our video production workflow, from equipment preparation and shooting to data management, editing, and final delivery, gaining exposure to the complete production process rather than working on just one part of it.
Key Responsibilities
Assist with camera and production equipment. Prepare and set up equipment for shoots. Assist the cinematographer during productions. Operate a second camera when required. Handle basic camera operation and shooting. Manage and back up footage after shoots. Organise and maintain production equipment. Manage project files and data. Assist with shoot preparation and production coordination. Edit videos for different types of projects, including basic cuts, sequences, subtitles, music edits, and exports. Assist with post-production and final delivery. Gradually take on more responsibility in shooting and editing.
Projects You'll Work On
Corporate films and brand stories, commercial and promotional videos, wedding films, documentary films, industrial and manufacturing videos, corporate events and conferences, founder and leadership films, product and service videos, social media content, and other creative video production projects. Depending on the project, you may work across different styles, subjects, locations, and production environments, primarily in Chennai but also across Tamil Nadu and other locations in South India.
Basic Technical Requirements
You should have a basic understanding of shooting a video using a mobile phone or camera, framing and composition, basic lighting, recording usable video footage, and basic video editing, including cutting and arranging clips, adding music and text, and exporting a finished video. Professional camera or editing experience is not required, but you should be able to shoot and edit a simple video on your own and demonstrate a basic visual sense.
Portfolio
Professional project experience is not required. If you're a fresher, you can share any work that demonstrates your creative and visual skills, such as personal video projects, Instagram Reels, YouTube videos, short films, college projects, travel videos, street photography, photography projects, mobile-shot videos, or other personal edits. We're interested in your visual sense, framing, composition, understanding of light, storytelling, and editing approach, not whether the work is professional client work.
Responsibility, Ownership & Reliability
This role requires strong ownership and discipline. We're looking for someone who takes responsibility for assigned work, follows through on commitments, completes tasks within agreed timelines, can work without constant reminders, communicates proactively about problems or delays, takes care of equipment and project data, owns up to mistakes and works to resolve them, and can be trusted with important production tasks. You should also be punctual, dependable, receptive to feedback, and consistent, since video production often involves fixed shoot schedules and deadlines.
Education & Experience
Freshers are encouraged to apply. Professional work experience is not required, and a specific college degree is not mandatory. Basic camera and video editing knowledge is required, along with a genuine interest in filmmaking and video production. We value interest, practical ability, attitude, responsibility, and willingness to learn more than formal qualifications.
Work Schedule
Regular working days are Monday to Saturday. Shoots and events may occasionally take place on Sundays or outside regular working hours depending on production requirements. Most projects are based in Chennai, but candidates should be willing to travel across Tamil Nadu and South India for shoots when required. Candidates should either currently be based in Chennai or be willing to relocate.
Compensation
₹15,000 per month during the initial 3-month probation period. During this period, we'll evaluate work quality, learning ability, reliability, discipline, responsibility, ownership, and technical development. Subject to satisfactory performance, the position will be confirmed as a full-time role at ₹18,000 per month after probation.
Who Should Apply
This role suits someone who is a fresher or starting their career, is genuinely interested in video production, enjoys both shooting and editing, likes photography, filmmaking, or visual storytelling, wants hands-on experience across different types of productions, is willing to learn new skills, takes responsibility seriously, is punctual and dependable, can take ownership of assigned work, is comfortable travelling for shoots, and wants to build a career in video production. We are not looking for someone who only wants to edit videos. We are looking for someone who wants to learn and participate in the complete video production process.
How to Apply
Please apply through this job listing with your updated resume, portfolio/showreel/previous work (if available), current location, editing software you know, any camera experience, and your availability to join. Previous work does not need to be professional client work. Personal projects, Instagram Reels, photography, college projects, short films, or mobile-shot videos are all welcome. Freshers are encouraged to apply. Shortlisted candidates will be contacted for the next stage of the selection process.
