Camp Videographer / Counselor: Capturing and Creating the Magic (20+)

Most of their day is following the campers with a camera and filming for specific marketing videos; the rest of their time is spent editing to help generate promotional videos.

- Editing to generate three one-minute promotional videos and 10 short-form (less than 30 second) videos
