Job Description

ApertureAlley, based in New Jersey, is seeking experienced, detail-oriented freelance videographers to capture legal depositions, with an emphasis on remote coverage across all U.S. time zones. This position is a flexible 1099 contract opportunity for dependable professionals who value accuracy, quality, and consistency in a legal environment. While primarily remote, hybrid roles may be performed from any U.S. state. Strong weekday availability (Monday–Friday) is required, as weekend work is extremely rare.

Requirements

The following equipment is required for remote coverage:

• Two (2) laptops or desktop computers (one dedicated to Zoom, one dedicated to OBS recording) with 2 screens
• High-speed, reliable internet (wired Ethernet strongly preferred)
• External webcam (1080p or higher)
• USB/XLR microphone with clear audio pickup (lav or headset acceptable)
• Headphones (to monitor without feedback)
• UPS/power backup recommended

For potential in-person coverage (if local to NJ, NY, and PA), additional required gear includes:

• Professional camcorder with XLR input and date/time stamp (720p or higher; no 4K required)
• Sturdy tripod
• 4-channel audio mixer + 4–5 XLR lavalier microphones
• XLR cables
• Neutral backdrop (gray, blue, white, or black)
• Reliable transportation (vehicle required for travel)

Qualifications

• Strong understanding of video production workflow
• Excellent communication and customer service skills (phone, text, email, Slack)
• Proficiency with OBS & Zoom (non-negotiable for remote coverage)
• Ability to lift 50 lbs (for future onsite assignments)

Compensation

• Remote Coverage: $25/hr (2-hour minimum per job)
• In-Person Coverage: $30/hr (3-hour minimum per job) + mileage ($0.50/mi), tolls, and parking reimbursed
• Payment Terms: NET 90, though payment may often occur earlier (NET 30–60 depending on the client)

Additional Information

• This is a freelance contractor role – you must own your gear and manage your own taxes.
• This work should not be your sole source of income, though consistent contractors may see steady weekly hours.
• Opportunities for onsite coverage are available for those who want to expand into hybrid work.
• Application questions include inquiries about understanding compensation and availability of equipment.
