  • Ability to clearly explain your creative decisions while you work

  • Excellent written and verbal communication skills

Job Details:

  • Immediate start preferred

What to know before you apply

Pay
At the published rate, 10 hours a week would be about $500–$600 and 20 hours about $1,000–$1,200 before tax. Hours depend on the project, so treat this as a ceiling, not a promise.
Location
Only applicants located in United States can be paid for this role. Platforms usually verify where you are, so apply only if you are based there.
Credentials
The listing asks for 3+ years of experience. Put it in the first line of your profile: reviewers screen for it before anything else.
Timing
This listing is new today. Projects can close once they have enough people, so it is worth applying while it is open.
Test tips for video creators
  • Follow the capture spec exactly: angle, length, lighting and resolution.
  • Plan each clip before you record; reshoots cost you unpaid time.
  • Keep faces and personal data out of frame unless the brief allows it.
