• Comfort working independently, managing several projects at once, and making technical calls on the fly
• Clear communication with creative, marketing, and technical partners
Nice to have
• Lighting design for studio and on-location shoots
• Teleprompter, green screen, or virtual set experience
• Motion graphics in After Effects or DaVinci Fusion
