Summer Football Student Filmer (WS-ST1)
About The Position
The Football Filmer plays a vital role in the success of the St. Olaf Football program. This position is responsible for capturing high-quality video of all practices and games using multiple filming systems, including elevated camera platforms, press-box setups, remote filming stations (such as Skifter Hall), end-zone EVS telescoping systems, and drone technology. You will receive full training on how to operate every piece of equipment and how to film from each location. High-quality video is essential to our program—without it we cannot effectively teach, evaluate, or develop our players. This position requires a detail-oriented individual who is coachable, takes instruction well, and takes pride in consistently producing high-quality work. The Football Filmer must understand how to capture proper angles, maintain steady shots, zoom appropriately, and follow specific filming standards so our coaching staff can fully utilize the footage.
