Drone Squad Staff members may be hired to do aerial video & photography work for internal IC clients, as well as for external clients. This work is project-based, so there is no guarantee of a certain number of hours or projects per semester. Assignments will be made based on students' experience, portfolio, and availability as projects arise.
Drone Squad Staff members who have obtained a Part 107 certification may be hired as drone pilots. DS Staff members who do not have a valid Part 107 certification may perform support roles on paid projects, including the roles of ground camera operators, control room operators, directors, graphics creators, on-air talent, and other crew as needed.
Please provide a resumé and a cover letter that includes why you are interested in joining the Drone Squad, whether or not you have a Part 107 certification, what types of production roles you are interested in, and what experience you have in those types of roles.
Along with submitting a resume and cover letter, please sign up for the Drone Squad Team at the link below, along with any other Park Productions teams you may be interested in joining (if you have already done this, you do not need to do it again).
