Intern - Production Assistant
Rollers Royale
Redondo Beach, CAThis is a Freelance Unpaid Internship
Internship Start Date/Season: TBD (By the end of April)
Internship Duration: TBD (Could be just one gig, or several months, if you're good at setting up and breaking down production equipment quickly and efficiently.)
Time/Days Required: TBD (This is a film set, so the dates & times are random. Generally, we film late, after the closing hours of the location, but not always. The full beginning-to-end production lasts 3 - 5 hours. This is why I need PAs, we need to shorten that time. Ideally, we'd have a 45-minute setup, a 45-minute show, and a 30-minute breakdown. A 2-hour in-and-out is the goal.)
Workplace Requirements:
• 1st and foremost, you must be okay with cannabis and tobacco smoke, and it is preferred if you are a frequent cannabis user, because the nature of the production will fill the set with smoke, and I need you to be functional for the breakdown. Smoking is optional, but also preferred because it will accelerate the show, as we always need help smoking the blunts at the end.
• 2nd, you must be eager to learn all the basics of production: setting up tripods, lights, cameras, framing, focus, audio, etc. Bringing your own equipment is optional, but always preferred and greatly appreciated. And we will work fast, so be ready. The breakdown doesn't need to be clean, as long as all the equipment is off location and in my car by our deadline, I can organize all the gear after at home.
• 3rd, not necessarily required, but it would be great if you're also willing to learn basic Final Cut Pro editing skills. I will do the actual final cuts, but I need someone who's willing to sync all the video and sound media, trim away the fat, slap on the assets at the appropriate spots, make a basic credits sequence, and I'll do the rest. You don't need to do any transitions or color correction, just the basics - putting everything where it needs to be. I hate that part of editing. I have the footage for one future episode ready to give right now, so if someone wants to assist, it would greatly expedite the workflow of these episodes, which can then get everyone paid faster, and will give you legitimate experience for your resume right away.
Salary/Benefits
Exposure, for now. If you're good, and this gameshow takes off in a few months, you'll have a full-time paid position on a major platform.
Additional Information
Rollers Royale is the official blunt-rolling gameshow. I already have sponsors and partners, with 3 episodes currently on YouTube and 2 being edited now, so I expect big things coming very soon. The problem is that it takes way too long for me to set up and break down on production days, as up until now I've been a one-man-army setting the lights, cameras, props, literally everything, then still going to host the show as all the equipment runs on autopilot. Not only is this exhausting, affecting my personal performance, but this reliance on automated systems has caused me many issues, and I am at the point that I need a quality production for at least a few episodes before I can carry the gameshow to a legitimate streaming service. If you can help me produce episodes at a rapid pace, you will be locked into my crew going forward. Here's the deal I'm making right now for anyone who gets hired: once I get paid for making this show, you'll get paid.
Anyone capable of providing a personal small camera (GoPro, etc.) will have a much greater chance of getting the gig.
Also, whoever demonstrates eagerness to edit using Final Cut Pro will be even more likely to be chosen. Please note that EntertainmentCareers.Net uses 'disposable' email addresses in our postings.
