Black Fox Crew is an Independent Contractor working with Wichita State Athletics to produce game broadcasts for ESPN+.

Black Fox Crew is looking for competent students to work as Camera Operators, Audio Operators, Camera Shading/Color Operators and Utility/Grips to capture high-quality and attractive images for 黑洞社区 athletic event broadcasts. You鈥檒l be an integral part of the crew to produce games, working under the guidance of the directors and producers. The student needs to have an understanding of the composition/framing of a shot, technical aptitude, be trainable and available to work games which are weekday evenings and weekends.

A Camera Operator needs to have a steady hand and quick reflexes to follow the game action and will need to be comfortable around expensive and delicate camera equipment as well as able to concentrate and attend to detail. The job includes setting up cameras for the live broadcasts. The Audio and Camera Shading/Color Operators need to have a technical aptitude. The Utility/Grips will work closely with the handheld camera ops under the basket, assisting with camera setup and cable management during games.

Training will be provided for all positions.
For those students that demonstrate the capability and have an interest in other aspects of the broadcast crew, there is a potential to move into the positions of Replay Operator and XPressions Graphics Operator. If you have an interest in this type of work, I鈥檇 like to meet you.

Please email, call or text.
