Video Production Intern
We are shaped by the stories we engage with. The narratives we consume influence our desires, imaginations, and beliefs. In a culture overwhelmed by spectacle and diluted, false stories, we believe well-crafted, intentional narratives can inspire lives rooted in God’s truth.
At Summit, our goal is to deepen understanding of God through visual mediums. In each project, we focus on telling stories in meaningful, relational ways, using tools like lighting, lenses, movement, and sound to enhance our message.
Video production interns at Summit become part of a creative culture, collaborating with a team committed to excellence and growth in every artistic endeavor. Interns will engage in a blend of education, spiritual development, hands-on practice, feedback, and mentoring throughout the summer. As part of the media team, they will have the opportunity to develop their skills as cinematographers, producers, editors, and directors. Each intern will take ownership of at least one project, guiding it through the full filmmaking process - pre-production, production, and post-production - while also supporting a variety of other projects.
Intern responsibilities:
- Assist in accomplishing Summit’s video production goals.
- Take responsibility for producing video projects and leading them to completion by walking through the steps of pre-production, creating schedules and shot lists, assigning shoots, conducting interviews, keeping up with media management and editing, and regularly checking in with Summit’s Video Team.
- Operate cameras for recording lectures and live-streaming events. Learn the role of technical directing in a live production multi-camera environment.
- Be present and always looking to document Summit experiences from new ways and unique perspectives. A camera should never be far from your reach.
- Handle media in a responsible, organized way that ensures not losing footage and maintaining the established organizational systems.
Requirements:
- Must be at least 18 years old by the internship start date
- Eagerness to learn, both in a group teaching setting and through specific feedback
- Familiarity with operating cinema, DSLR, or mirrorless cameras
- Experience editing in Davinci Resolve
- Adept at creative problem-solving, acting as a team player, willingness to be flexible, and ability to manage projects and meet deadlines
