Adventure Cinematographer - Automotive / 4WD

A normal shoot might start before sunrise in a wet Victorian forest, following a 4WD through the trees to capture what a new driving light actually looks like at night. The next could involve a rally car, our engineer and a prototype bracket that does not officially exist yet.

Another might be a winch test, a workshop install, a new product arriving from manufacturing or a controlled studio shoot where every reflection and highlight matters.

That is the world around ALTIQ and Ultra Winch.

We design lighting, automotive electrical and recovery products for people who use their vehicles properly. Forests, mountains, night driving, rally, remote trips, mud, workshops and testing give us plenty to point a camera at.

We now need someone who can turn that into exceptional content.

The role

We want a full-stack content producer who can take an idea from: concept → location → shot list → shoot → edit → grade → finished campaign.

You will create content for:

- Shopify product pages
- Meta advertising
- Instagram and Facebook
- Product launches
- YouTube
- Email campaigns
- Technical explainers
- Brand films

All production equipment is provided, with an ongoing budget for gear upgrades, wish-list purchases and shoot expenses. The aim is to get more from every shoot.

A day in the forest should not produce one Reel. It might produce a hero film, six paid-social cuts, product-page footage, still photography, technical clips and a library of material we can use for months.

What you’ll own

- Developing shoot concepts with the team
- Shot lists and pre-production
- Location scouting
- Cinematography
- Product and lifestyle photography
- Lighting
- Camera, lens and movement choices
- Audio where required
- Editing
- Colour grading
- Sound design
- Meta ad variants and hooks
- 9:16, 4:5, 1:1 and 16:9 deliverables
- Shopify product imagery and video
- Organising footage and maintaining a usable content library





You will work directly with our director, engineers and product team rather than waiting for a marketing department to hand you a finished brief.

More than making things look good

Some content needs to be cinematic. Some needs to explain a technical feature in ten seconds.

Some needs to stop a thumb in the first two seconds and sell a product.

The right person understands the difference.

We are looking for someone who notices when the location is wrong, the light is flat, the shot does not explain the product properly or a 60-second edit actually contains five better ads hiding inside it.

The work itself

You could be filming:

- Night driving through forest tracks
- New spotlight beam patterns
- Winch torture tests
- Rally and competition vehicles
- Prototype brackets and engineering projects
- Product launches
- Vehicle installations
- Outdoor trips and testing
- Detailed studio product cinematography
- Customer and ambassador vehicles
- Behind-the-scenes product development

There is a robust technical side to our products. Part of the challenge is turning engineering details into something visually interesting and immediately understandable.

Who we’re looking for

A strong portfolio matters more than a particular qualification. You should be capable in:
- Cinematography
- Photography
- Editing
- Colour grading
- Lighting
- Composition
- Short-form commercial content
- Product storytelling
- Working independently from concept through delivery

Experience with automotive, motorsport, 4WD, outdoor, action-sports or technical products is highly regarded. Experience creating paid social content that actually has to perform commercially is even better.

Drone capability is useful but not essential.

What it's not.

This is not social-media administration. You will not spend the week scheduling inspirational quotes and looking for something to post on Thursday.

The core job is to go out, make strong original material and turn it into content that can work across the entire business.
