Wanted: Online Video Broadcast Director and Producer
StarCityGames.com is ready to engage a full-time position in the director’s chair of our SCGLive broadcasts. This includes attending each event and keeping everyone in the loop and motivated to put on a great show.
When not live at events you’ll be at StarCityGames HQ in Roanoke, VA, working closely with Evan Erwin on producing video segments of SCGLive events along with special secret projects and other video production duties.
If you live, breathe, and eat video (and particularly Magic video), this position is for you!

– Highly motivated

– Is A Ninja
– Good communication skills, both verbally and written

– Above all, a positive attitude.
General Duties
In-House
– Work on various video projects including unboxing videos, tutorial videos, and various other series we would like to develop.

– Work directly with Evan Erwin on developing new segments for the The Magic Show and other potential video series.
Out of House
– Directing SCGLive. This includes management of the stream and commentators, staying in constant communication with Glenn on-site and Ryan off-site to update coverage and ensure everything is moving smoothly. This would require you to travel to all events (see above).
– Working on SCGLive direction and output. Ways to keep commentators engaged, audiences watching, etc.
