About DROPZ
DROPZ is India's first true limited-edition platform, a culture-forward destination where every product drop is rare, intentional, and never restocked. We aren't just building a brand; we're building a platform that curates stories through exclusive in-house drops, creator collaborations, and collectible releases across fashion, lifestyle, and beyond. Every drop is a moment, but the platform is the big picture and our brand must ignite cultural hype.
As a Short-form Videographer, you will own capture for mobile-first storytelling that makes every DROPZ moment feel premium, fast, and culturally sharp. This is a 0 to 100 environment where taste, speed, and consistency matter daily, you will take accountability for output quality, build repeatable on-set systems, and help shape a visual language that compounds with every drop.
What You'll Do
- Capture high-volume, premium short-form footage for drops, products, creator collaborations, BTS, and events, delivering platform-native clips that feel cinematic while still optimized for rapid turnaround and retention on mobile.
- Translate briefs into clear shot lists and coverage plans, aligning with the creative and marketing teams so every shoot has intent, strong hooks, and the exact assets editors need to ship fast.
- Own lighting fundamentals across indoor and outdoor setups, using available light, practicals, and compact lighting to maintain consistent skin tones, true-to-life product color, and a recognizable DROPZ mood.
- Execute stable handheld and controlled gimbal movement with strong framing, capturing sequences that cut cleanly into punchy reels, TikToks, and stories without feeling noisy or over-stabilized.
- Capture clean scratch audio when needed for moments, reactions, and dialogue, monitoring levels and environment noise so footage is usable in edits without heavy fixes or reshoots.
- Run reliable camera workflows, including media management, file naming, backups, and basic logging, ensuring footage is organized so editors can pull selects quickly and nothing goes missing.
- Shoot product feature footage with a quality bar for detail, texture, and fit, delivering multiple angles, motions, and focal variations that make items feel collectible and worth the hype.
- Cover street and culture moments with good judgment, capturing authentic reactions and atmosphere while staying respectful, permission-aware, and aligned to brand safety and creator comfort.
- Collaborate closely with editors and the creative team, reviewing selects, understanding performance signals, and adjusting composition, pacing, and hook coverage based on what consistently performs.
- Maintain and prep gear for consistent execution, tracking batteries, storage, lenses, stabilization, and quick fixes so production never slows down due to preventable technical gaps.
