Production Executive

Looking for a filmmaking role that gets you out into the world as well as into the edit? Pearldrop is looking for an ambitious all-round filmmaker to join our growing production team.

This is a genuine 50/50 production and post-production role, with the chance to travel all over the UK and occasionally into Europe for shoots. One day you could be filming interviews in London; the next, editing a live event film at our Stevenage studio; then travelling across the country for another production.

Established in 2003, Pearldrop is a full-service creative film agency based in Stevenage, covering the whole of the UK and beyond. Our services include production, editing, animation, aerial photography and videography and stills. We work with a wide range of businesses, large corporations, schools and universities, national and local charities and government agencies.

• Setting up and operating cameras, lighting and location sound
• Filming interviews, B-roll, events and great-looking shots
• Setting up, balancing and confidently operating gimbals
• Editing complete client films in Adobe Premiere Pro
• Creating graphics, titles and animation in Adobe After Effects
• Shaping stories from rushes, then taking projects through revisions to final delivery
• Working as part of a close-knit professional production team

We need someone who is already strong in both filming and editing — not just one or the other. You should have a solid understanding of cameras, exposure, lenses, frame rates, shutter speeds, white balance, focus, lighting and sound, and be able to make sensible technical and creative decisions independently. Experience with a Blackmagic Pocket Cinema Camera 6K Pro is ideal, although strong practical camera knowledge matters most.

You must have your own car and a full clean UK driving licence, be comfortable travelling regularly, and be able to work full-time from our Stevenage base when not on location. This is not a working-from-home role.

For the right person, there is significant opportunity for rapid progression.

Probationary Period: 6 months

• Gym membership provided at Everyone Active in Stevenage Arts & Leisure Centre
