THE LA 2011/20012 APPRENTICESHIP is closed.  THANK YOU ALL FOR APPLYING.  Skip has chosen his apprentice.

Are you ready to take your shooting to the next level? Go To Team is offering a unique opportunity to Production Shooters, Chief Photographers and local TV Cameramen. This position is designed for photographers that want to gain enough experience to shoot, run audio, and light at the highest level. We have successfully run this apprenticeship for nine years and seven of our former apprentices are now full-time Directors of Photography for Go To Team.

This position will be based in Los Angeles, California and you will work regularly with our Senior Director of Photography, Go To Team Partner Skip Clark (original apprentice) for clients like  Fox Sports and Versus . You will be working as a camera assist, running audio, and lighting while learning every aspect of high-end video production.  At the end of the Apprenticeship, we hope to move you into a full-time Director of Photography position in one of our other markets.

Although during a typical week you will work 4 ten hour days, overtime is a sure thing. Experience in pa, audio and  grip work are a plus. However, a solid reel and hard working attitude are key. We often work odd hours on short notice and international travel may be required.

Requirements: Passport, Vehicle, Strong Desire to be the Best.
Yearly Salary: $28,500 ( Salary plus percentage of billables and NABET Union Pay for Network News Shoots)
Term: 3 Year Commitment

This is not an entry level position. It is designed for very talented cameramen that want to shoot at their best.

Federal Apprenticeship guidelines require at least a college degree or 2 years of work related experience.
