Political Field Cameraman | FLAMEX
FLAMEX is looking for a fearless, high-stamina Political Field Cameraman to be the eyes of the campaign. You will be on the ground, attached to the leader’s inner circle, capturing the raw, cinematic, and high-energy footage that fuels our digital war room.
If you can hold a steady shot in a surging crowd of thousands and have an instinct for "the shot" before it happens, we want you.
What You’ll Be Doing
- Leader’s Shadow: Accompanying the leader 24/7 on the campaign trail—from open-jeep rallies and door-to-door visits to high-level strategy meetings.
- Cinematic Field Capture: Filming high-definition, "hero-style" footage. You aren't just documenting; you are creating a "powerful dynasty" aesthetic through your lens—using low angles, slow-motion pans, and intentional lighting.
- Rapid-Response Delivery: This is a War Room role. You will be responsible for offloading and transferring "hot" footage immediately via high-speed data links so our editors can have it live within minutes.
- Crowd & Atmosphere: Capturing the pulse of the people—the flower malas, the chanting supporters, and the emotional connections that humanize the leader.
- Live Streaming: Managing high-quality mobile live-streaming setups for Facebook, Instagram, and YouTube during rallies, ensuring stable signals even in low-network areas.
Who You Are
- Campaign-Hardened (Must-Have): You have documented experience in political campaign filming or high-pressure "embedded" journalism. You know how to navigate security details and surging crowds without losing the shot.
- War Room Mentality: You understand that "late footage is dead footage." You thrive on the adrenaline of a 15-hour campaign day and can deliver under extreme pressure.
- Gear Expert: You are a master of your kit (Sony Alpha series, Blackmagic, or equivalent). You must be proficient with gimbals (DJI Ronin), wireless mics, and mobile data transmitters (LiveU/Dejero).
- Culturally Attuned: You understand the visual language of South Asian and Punjabi politics. You know when to focus on the turban, the gesture of respect, or the scale of the rally.
- Physical Stamina: You can run, climb, and maneuver with 15kg of gear in 40°C heat without breaking a sweat.
Why FLAMEX?
At FLAMEX, we treat political coverage like a big-budget film. You won't just be recording speeches; you’ll be building a legend. You will have access to the best tech and the most high-profile stages in the country.
