Ghost Sports TV (GSTV), a production of Flying Ghost Productions, is looking for an experienced Camera Operator to join our live broadcast crew for the 2026–27 St. Helena High School football and basketball season.

As a GSTV Camera Operator, you will:
- Operate a broadcast camera during live football and basketball games
- Follow fast-moving game action while delivering steady, well-framed shots
- Work directly with the broadcast director and follow live production cues
- Assist with camera and production equipment setup before kickoff or tip-off
- Capture key plays, celebrations, crowd reactions, player entrances, and other important moments
- Maintain focus and professional camera operation throughout the live broadcast
- Assist the production crew as needed before and after games
What We're Looking For
We're looking for someone who:
- Has previous camera, videography, photography, or production experience
- Understands basic shot composition and framing
- Can smoothly follow fast-moving sports action
- Takes direction well and can respond quickly to cues from the broadcast director
- Is dependable and arrives on time
- Is comfortable working in live production environments
- Can work both outdoor football games and indoor basketball games
- Has a strong interest in sports, video production, or broadcasting
Previous live sports or broadcast experience is preferred but not required. Strong videography or camera experience can also be a great fit.
Compensation
$125–$175 per game
Final rate is based on experience and ability.
This is seasonal, game-based work covering St. Helena High School football and basketball.
Why Join GSTV?
GSTV is building a professional live sports broadcast platform focused on bringing high-quality coverage to St. Helena Parish and rural Louisiana.
You'll gain hands-on experience working as part of a real live production crew while helping us capture the stories, athletes, fans, and moments that make local sports special.
No two broadcasts are exactly the same.
If you love sports and production and want to be part of a growing live broadcast operation, we'd like to hear from you.
