NBC’s ‘Chicago Fire’ Casting Call for a Real Camera Man

Casting Call: Featured Extra Role as a Camera Man for “Chicago Fire” Episode

Job Overview: We are currently seeking a REAL CAMERA MAN for a one-day shoot on the upcoming episode of “Chicago Fire.” This is a unique opportunity for a nonspeaking, featured extra role that promises to be a fun and memorable experience. We are looking to showcase authentic talent and provide a glimpse into the behind-the-scenes work of a camera operator through a featured spot in one of our scenes.

Job Responsibilities:

• Perform as a camera man, walking around and following an actor as if filming them for a scene (note: no actual filming will be required).

• Bring a professional demeanor and authentic camera operator appearance to the role.

• Interact with the main cast and crew in a professional manner, following directions for the scene’s requirements.

• If you own a filming camera, you may be asked to bring it for aesthetic purposes (please note, there will be no film in the camera).

Requirements:

• Real-life experience as a camera operator or cameraman is essential.

• Must be available for a one-day shoot (date to be confirmed upon selection).

• Ability to portray a professional camera operator on screen.

• Professionalism and reliability are a must.

• While owning a camera is not a requirement, candidates who do should send a picture of their camera along with their application.

• A positive attitude and enthusiasm for participating in a unique filming experience.

Compensation:

• This featured extra role offers $160 for an 8-hour day.

• Time and a half will be provided for any work done beyond the initial 8 hours.

• Although we acknowledge the professional rates for camera operators are significantly higher, this opportunity is offered as a fun and engaging experience, with compensation reflective of an extra’s role rather than a full camera operator’s fee.
