Deloitte cinematographer, editor job description
Everyone knows a good film when they see it, but many less know how to create one. You do. You can take a producer's creative vision - or your own - and turn it into a visual masterpiece. You can work with directors from diverse backgrounds, clients with tight timelines, crew with varying degrees of expertise, talent who loosely define what it means to be talented, and you can do it all without missing the shot. Beyond #setlife, you'll also contribute to the creative vision of our video projects through development of storyboards, shot lists, treatments books, and pre-production efforts of similar ilk. Finally, you can whip up a string out and rough cut with aplomb (extra credit for Adobe suite experience).
