Choose the right role for the brief.
Camera-assistant responsibilities vary by production. A first assistant camera role may centre on focus and camera preparation, while a second assistant may support slating, lenses and camera records. Confirm the exact role; camera operating and data management may need separate crew.
What to share about your project.
- The camera and lens package, shooting format and any specialist rig.
- The role you need filled and the responsibilities of the rest of the camera team.
- Prep days, shoot dates, location, working hours and travel requirements.

Questions about finding camera assistants.
Can I search for first and second camera assistants?
Start with camera assistant, then review each member’s stated titles and experience. Confirm the specific first or second assistant responsibilities directly.
Should I list the camera package in my brief?
Yes. Naming the camera, lenses and relevant accessories helps a member assess the preparation and experience your shoot needs.
Can I post a camera-assistant job?
Signed-in members can post a job with the role, location, dates and rates so crew can apply with their profiles.
