Production Tech/camera Operator

Raindrop is a fast-growing creative and production agency headquartered in San Diego. We are a people-first agency committed to our team and to creating marketing people love. We make people laugh, we make them cry, …but mostly we make them laugh. We entertain them to their core… And then do it all over again. 

As a Raindrop Production Tech/Camera Operator, you’ll have two areas of responsibility. You will shoot fresh, on-brand visual assets covering a range of subject matter and platforms. You will have begun to hone your cinematography chops in diverse contexts and adapt your style to the personalities of the brands we partner with. Also, you will roll up your sleeves to assist our in-house video teams in pre-production through camera equipment preparation, organizing grip and electric equipment, pre-lighting studio sets, and picking up and returning rental equipment.  When you are not the camera operator on a project you will assist our other cinematographers by capturing on-location sound, helping the grip and electric department, facilitating DIT, and organizing tear-down after the shoot wraps. You will be a true team player, ready to grow, and be someone the team can count on.
