Part Time Camera Operators Needed: Great for Experience (Un-Paid)
Each summer the Mallards stream all 35 home games online using a four-camera setup, and are in need of 15 to 20 operators to help work the two cameras located on the first and third-base lines as well as the home-plate camera. This is a great opportunity for those in either high school or college to gain some valuable experience shooting a live sporting event while using top-of-the-line video cameras on a tri-pod. These positions are un-paid, but look great on resumes! Typically camera operators report to Warner Park 30 to 45 minutes prior to that night's first pitch, and are free to leave once the game ends.
