Project Summary: Cinematic & Engaging Personal Branding Video
Overview:
I’m creating a high-energy, cinematic personal branding video as part of a job application for a Strategy Consultant / Business Development role at Arcane Marketing. This is not a standard talking-head video—this is a visually dynamic, engaging storytelling piece that blends humor, authenticity, and creativity to showcase who I am, my skills, and what I bring to the table.
I’m looking for a freelance videographer to assist with shooting, framing, and potentially some light editing. The shoot involves multiple locations, a mix of cinematic and comedic shots, and drone footage. I’ll provide a detailed shot list and schedule—just need the right pro to help execute the vision.
What I Need from a Videographer:
✅ Pro-level camera work – Smooth, well-framed shots, ability to capture dynamic motion.
✅ Drone operation (preferred) – I have a DJI Neo Drone for key shots.
✅ Cinematic lighting & angles – Some scenes require dramatic or creative framing.
✅ Basic audio setup – I’ll have a wireless mic, but clean audio capture is key.
✅ Fast turnaround – Ideally, shooting across Saturday & Sunday (Feb 3-4) with a Monday morning wrap-up.
Key Scenes & Locations:
1. Opening Scene (Dad’s House, Idaho Falls) – Comedic intro breaking the fourth wall.
2. Sledding Scene (Salt Lake City mountains) – Epic “risk taker” setup leading to a funny reveal.
3. Hot Springs Scene (Sunday morning) – Business call moment showing calm under pressure.
4. Bowling Alley Scene (Sunday midday) – Community, strategy, and comedic callback.
5. Gym Scene (Friday or Saturday) – Strength & teamwork with a funny twist.
6. Final Scene (Sunday afternoon, Dad’s House) – Emotional close with family.
Shoot Details:
? Primary Location: Idaho Falls, ID
? Additional Location: Salt Lake City mountains (Saturday morning)
? Shoot Type: Multi-location, dynamic movement shots, mix of serious & comedic tones
? Filming Dates: Feb 2-4 (Friday-Sunday)
? Final Video Length: ~3-5 minutes
