As a vision mixer / director you are responsible for the visual storytelling of our live broadcasts – from the Bundesliga conference to international equestrian events and multi-day marathon productions. You work closely with the director, vision engineers and camera operators in the OB truck and make your calls where there is no second chance: on air.
Your responsibilities
- Vision mixing for national and international live productions
- Preparing camera concepts together with production management
- Briefing and leading the camera team before and during the broadcast
- Close coordination with directing, graphics and replay
- Quality assurance in collaboration with vision engineering
How we work
Small teams, short lines of communication, clear calls. We plan carefully so no one has to improvise on site – and when it does happen, the team sticks together. You are on the road for around 60 production days a year; the rest of the time you prepare in Cologne or take time off.
„The best cut is the one nobody notices. That is exactly why it is so damn hard.“
