We are looking for a part-time in-house Videographer/Editor to shoot and edit motorsports and automotive performance content — trackside race coverage, desert off-road and overlanding builds and trips, and product launch content for performance parts brands. This is a preditor-style, run-and-gun role: you run camera on location and cut the final edit, often with little to no support crew. You'll also help plan shoots, assist with logistics, and help keep budgets on track. The right candidate has real motorsports or action-automotive video experience and is comfortable running professional camera gear in rugged, fast-changing outdoor conditions. Strong Adobe Premiere Pro and After Effects skills required.

Note:

By "automotive experience required," we mean the car, bike, motorsport, or hard parts (exhaust, wheels, tires, turbos, etc.) were the actual subject — trackside coverage, product launches, off-road/overlanding content, or aftermarket installs. Please apply only if this matches your background. This is an in-house role based on-site in Chino, CA, with regular travel to shoot locations — tracks, desert trails, and events. Schedule varies by project; race weekends, product launches, and trail days often mean early mornings, nights, or weekends.
