Broadcast Producer
Falmouth Commodores Internships
BROADCASTING AND MEDIA TEAM
The Falmouth Commodores is one of ten teams that comprise the Cape Cod Baseball League, the preeminent summer collegiate baseball league in the United States. Scouts from all major league teams attend games and many players are ultimately drafted to play in the MLB.
In 2021, the Commodores expanded its capacities, primarily in video production, and expanded further in 2022 (5 camera system with underground cables to camera wells, and Blackmagic Design ATEM Pro 4K Live Production Switcher). To take our productions to the next level and continue to be known as the premier CCBL media outlet, we are looking for the most highly-motivated, team-oriented summer interns to fill our vacancies. If you are attracted to the broadcasting and media arts, and who thrives in an environment where collaboration, creativity, and teamwork are strongly encouraged, this may be the opportunity you are looking for.
All intern positions are non-paying, and prospective interns must arrange for their own housing and transportation while on Cape Cod. The Commodores staff will assist where possible in helping interns find affordable lodging and part-time employment.
VIDEO PRODUCTION TEAM (SEVEN POSITIONS)
This team will be composed of a VIDEO DIRECTOR, GRAPHICS TECHNICIAN, and three VIDEOGRAPHERS (camera operators). A Broadcast Producer may be an additional position or combined with one of the above roles. To enhance the learning experience for all on this team, those interns in these positions are expected to become proficient in all aspects of video production, in the event any video production team member must fill in for another’s absence. Therefore, it is expected that these team members will be able to perform all tasks for each position as described below.
