    Social Media Campaign Video Content Capture Volunteer

    “We Are Momentum” Video Capture Volunteer

    Purpose

    Support our “We Are Momentum” social media campaign by capturing meaningful, story-driven video content that highlights the voices and creativity of Momentum artists. In this role, you’ll help document artist identities, personal stories, and creative processes through short-form video, contributing to a campaign that introduces a new artist each week and culminates in a collective “We Are Momentum” feature.

    General Expectations

    As a volunteer, you are expected to:

    • Capture short video clips of participating artists, including:
      • “I am _______ (name), and this is my art.”
      • Group and individual clips of “We are Momentum.”
    • Prompt artists with a provided list of questions to capture short, authentic artist bios.
    • Film “b-roll” footage of artists working on their art to support storytelling/visual variety.
    • Create a welcoming environment that helps artists feel at ease on camera.
    • Engage with artists in a friendly, respectful, and encouraging manner.
    • Follow provided guidance for framing, audio, and general content capture
    • Communicate with staff regarding scheduling, participation, and any questions that arise.
    • Represent Momentum’s mission and values in a positive and professional manner.

    Optional (not required):

    • Assist with basic video editing or compilation if you have experience and interest.
    • Use personal video equipment if preferred. Smartphone capture is sufficient.

    Time Commitment

    This is a short-term, project-based role. Filming sessions will be scheduled in coordination with staff and may take place over multiple visits to capture a range of artists. Each session may last 1–3 hours depending on participation.

    Health and Safety

    • Follow all studio health and safety protocols.
    • Be mindful of artists’ comfort levels and obtain clear consent before recording.
    • Respect boundaries and ensure a supportive, low-pressure environment during filming.
    • Maintain confidentiality regarding any personal information shared during interviews.
