What are the responsibilities and job description for the Videographer position at MAKE?
๐๐ฏ๐ผ๐๐ ๐จ๐:
MAKE is a creative studio with a big passion for short stories. Stories that punch above their length and live rent free in your head.
Every frame gets obsessed over. Every second has a job to do.
Because short isnโt easy, itโs surgical.
Thereโs no fluff. Just tight, expressive work that knows what itโs saying and says it with style.

MAKE is seeking a Videographer with audiovisual chops to join our Minneapolis studio.
This is a hands-on role for someone who can capture footage and, more importantly, craft it into sharp, compelling edits. From branded content to behind-the-scenes reels, social shorts, polished ad campaigns, or just filming us goobers around the studio, at events, and at expos, youโll work closely with our team leads, producers, and artists to bring projects to life through camera and cut, with editing and audio as your superpowers.
You need to be a storyteller at heart, energized by shaping footage into narratives that feel energetic, resonant, and alive. It's a unique role, where you will work on commercials, as we as a wide range of internal content projects we're launching at MAKE.
At MAKE, weโre all creative generalists and we like it that way. If youโre into seeing how the sausage gets made (and making it yourself), youโll fit right in.
