Find Jobs — Camera & CinematographyArtisty is a hiring platform for film and AV work, and every hire starts with a project. Create one, post the DOP role with the format, look and shoot window, and ask for a reel as proof of work. KalaAi writes the role post from your fields, and applications come back to that role for you to shortlist.
Yes. Every role sits under the same project, so you can post the DOP, 1st AC, focus puller and DIT side by side. The project's format, language and stage carry into each role, so you set them once.
Check for production-assigned credits and the Artisty Verified badge. Productions assign credits to their crew at wrap, and the badge means the DOP has cleared a skill test and an AI interview. If it matters for your shoot, make the badge a dealbreaker on the role.
Yes. Set the role's visibility to invite only, and only the people you invite see it. Share the script and look references once you've picked your DOP.
Yes. Name the camera system in the role's tools and tick tools as a dealbreaker. Applicants see the requirement before they apply, so the shortlist starts with people who know the kit.
