Grip for Chicago Corporate Video (Entry Level)

Seeking an entry-level Grip for a 1-2 day corporate video shoot in Chicago, aiming for the first half of November 2026. Rate is $200-400 per day, dependent on experience and gear. We're creating a short, professional piece for a tech startup, showcasing their new product with a clean, modern aesthetic. Your main responsibility will be assisting our Gaffer and DP with setting up and positioning lighting equipment, stands, flags, and reflectors. Experience with C-stands, sandbags, and basic grip equipment is a must, but we're happy to train the right candidate on set. Please include any relevant experience, even if it's from student projects or personal work. A brief reel or examples of past projects where you contributed to lighting setups would be a plus, but not strictly required. We'll provide all primary lighting fixtures and consumables. Expect 10-12 hour shoot days. We're looking to fill this role fairly soon, so please send your info by October 11, 2026.
