Videographer (North Salem, NY)

Do you enjoy making videos of cars just as much as driving them? Do you want to avoid a media career full of bland corporate interviews? Wish your work involved a steady stream of awesome cars and visits to some of the most exciting car events? Combine your artistic and automotive passions by joining our team.

1600Veloce is known for going above and beyond to create informative technical articles and authoritative guides that help track enthusiasts get the most out of their cars and driving skills. Going forward, we want more of our content to be in video format that quickly and clearly portrays the beauty and emotions of these cars to our fans. Work will be a mix of artistic b-roll shoots that get people’s juices flowing, product footage that is clean and consistent, and educational talking head videos that are exciting.

You’ll be getting in on the ground floor of what will become a key department at 1600Veloce, contributing an ever increasing amount of video content to what we post. Your people skills will matter just as much as your video skills. Typically, while you’re filming, someone else will be taking photos at the same time. They will need your support and coordination to maximize the limited time we have with each car. When we are not shooting, you will be involved in post production, so you will need to be proficient with Premiere, Final Cut Pro, or the equivalent.

This job is local to North Salem, NY and requires some travel to local events. A background with automotive and product videography is preferred – someone who has been there, done that, and can help mentor others, but we are also open to amateurs who have serious talent. A fantastic portfolio, the right work ethic, and a positive attitude will go a lot further than just a long work history.

Please note that before we extend a formal offer to anyone for this full-time position, as a final assessment and real-world test of skills/character, we will hire the top candidates for a few video small shoots on a contract basis. We’re not looking for freebies -- these gigs will be executed at your hourly/daily rate so that everything is fair if things don’t work out.
