Smartphone Videographer Wanted in Ho Chi Minh City – Shoot Street Scenes & Cultural Content (Long-term)
Budget: $20 – $50 USD
Overview:
We are a growing travel media brand looking for a reliable, creative freelance videographer or content creator currently living in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam.
Your job will be simple but creative: you will use your smartphone (iPhone 13 or newer preferred, or high-end Android) to shoot high-quality, cinematic short video clips (B-roll) of Ho Chi Minh City's street life, landmarks, and culture.
This is a long-term opportunity. If the first batch of videos goes well, we will order monthly packages from you.
Key Responsibilities:
Walk around famous spots in HCMC (e.g., Nguyen Hue Walking Street, Cafe Apartments, Pink Church, District 1/District 5) and capture the vibe.
Shoot short, aesthetic clips (5–15 seconds per clip) of:
City landscapes, heavy motorcycle traffic, and unique French-colonial architecture.
Local street food, coffee culture, and bustling markets.
Bonus/Optional: If you can find a local female friend to wear a traditional Ao Dai dress and walk through the frame (back views, candid walking shots), that is a huge plus!
Technical Requirements:
Equipment: A modern smartphone capable of shooting in 4K at 30fps or 60fps (with good image stabilization).
Format: Strictly Vertical (9:16) format (optimized for TikTok/Shorts).
Shot Types: Steady panning shots, slow-motion, and close-ups. No shaky footage.
Delivery: Raw, unedited files uploaded to Google Drive. No background music or filters needed.
What We are Looking For:
Must be currently residing in Ho Chi Minh City.
Great eye for aesthetics, framing, and lighting (golden hour shooting preferred).
Reliable, good communication, and can meet deadlines.
Budget & Payment:
This first project is a test batch.
Deliverables for the test: 30 high-quality raw video clips (5-15 seconds each, covering 3-4 different locations/themes).
Budget for the test: $20 - $50 USD
If the quality is excellent, we will move to a monthly retainer model with a higher payout.
How to Apply:
Please send a brief message introducing yourself and mention:
What smartphone you will use to shoot.
A link to your portfolio or 2-3 sample clips of your previous video work (street style preferred).
Confirm that you are currently in Ho Chi Minh City.
Type "SAIGON VIBES" at the top of your proposal so I know you read the whole description.
