Your Role: The Videographer — Short-Form Content & Product Visual Production will join Faraday Future’s Visual Creative Center (VCC) as a core driver of the company’s high-volume short video capture engine and a key on-set production resource supporting high-quality product visual production. This role is responsible for designing and executing fast-turnaround, multi-format short video production workflows for U.S. and China-facing social and content commerce channels, and for supporting flagship VCC product, brand, and executive shoots as a second-camera videographer and lighting operator. This position requires the application of advanced theoretical knowledge across short video platform algorithm theory, vertical-native framing and composition, professional lighting design and color temperature science, run-and-gun production methodology, mobile and hybrid camera workflows, and AI-assisted content production systems. The role demands the ability to simultaneously function as a platform-native short video production specialist, a hands-on lighting operator, and a supporting field videographer on high-quality product shoots—bridging social content theory with professional cinematography craft. The ideal candidate combines a formal academic foundation in film and television production, digital media, or visual communications with deep, proven fluency in TikTok, Instagram Reels, YouTube Shorts, Douyin, and Xiaohongshu content production, demonstrated competence in professional lighting design, and a track record of producing short video assets that drive measurable engagement, follower growth, and content commerce conversion outcomes. Responsibilities: High-Volume Short-Form Video Capture & Platform-Native Production : Apply theoretical frameworks in short video platform algorithm theory, vertical-native framing, hook-pacing science, and run-and-gun field production methodology to design and execute high-volume short video capture across TikTok, Instagram Reels, YouTube Shorts, Douyin, and Xiaohongshu. Operate fluidly across cinema mirrorless systems, action cameras, gimbal-stabilized rigs, and professional mobile capture (iPhone Pro Max ProRes Log) to deliver multiple platform-ready short video assets per shoot day, optimized for each platform’s algorithmic distribution logic and audience behavior patterns. Lighting Design & On-Set Lighting Execution: Apply theoretical knowledge in lighting science, color temperature management, and key/fill/rim lighting architecture to design and execute lighting setups across the full range of shoot contexts—from fast-turnaround field and natural-light environments to studio-grade product lighting and high-quality executive portraiture. Maintain a portable and studio lighting toolkit (LED panels, COB lights, softboxes, modifiers, gels, reflectors) and direct lighting support resources to ensure consistent, brand-aligned image quality across both short-form output and high-quality production support. High-Quality Product Content Production Support: Apply principles of multi-camera production theory, professional lighting collaboration, and on-set production discipline to support flagship VCC productions—including product Demo films, brand films, customer-scenario shoots, automotive content, and product launch master content—operating as second-camera videographer, lighting operator, on-set lighting support, and behind-the-scenes content capturer under the direction of the Lead Cinematographer and Producer. Capture supporting short-form and BTS content during high-quality shoots for downstream social distribution and matrix-account use. Robotics IP & Product Continuous Documentation: Apply principles of subject-driven content sequencing, longitudinal social documentation, and platform-native scenario design to capture ongoing short video coverage of robotics products, vehicles, and lifestyle scenarios. Build a continuously refreshed library of platform-ready clips supporting daily account operations, matrix distribution, and AI-assisted variant production. Executive IP, Livestream, Event & KOL/KOC Content Capture: Apply principles of conversational portraiture, real-time event coverage, live commerce visual continuity, and creator-style content production to capture executive IP content, livestream supporting clips, event highlights, and KOL/KOC partner shoots—delivered as platform-native short videos optimized for immediate posting, post-live clipping, and continued matrix distribution while retaining authenticity, engagement velocity, and conversion intent. Editing-Ready Asset Engineering & AI-Augmented Output Integration: Apply knowledge of short-form editing workflows, asset metadata structures, and AIGC pipeline compatibility to deliver tagged, organized capture optimized for downstream short-form editing teams, AI-assisted variant generation, and matrix-account distribution. Coordinate with editors, AI workflow operators, and platform Account Owners to ensure capture→edit→publish cycle efficiency at scale. Basic Qualifications: Education: Bachelor’s degree in Film and Television Production, Cinematography, Digital Media, Visual Communications, Communications, or a closely related field is required. The specialized and complex nature of this position—spanning short video platform algorithm theory, vertical-native framing and composition, professional lighting design and color temperature science, run-and-gun production methodology, mobile and hybrid camera workflows, AI-assisted content workflows, and cross-regional production coordination—necessitates a body of theoretical and applied knowledge normally associated with a bachelor’s-level academic program in these disciplines. Faraday Future consistently requires this level of education for all hires in this role. Experience: 3–5+ years of professional experience in short-form video production, social content videography, branded short-form content, content commerce video production, or related roles, with a demonstrated track record of producing platform-native short videos that drive measurable engagement, follower growth, or conversion outcomes, and including hands-on experience supporting high-quality product, brand, or commercial video production as second-camera operator or lighting support—building upon theoretical foundations established through the required bachelor’s degree program.
