What is asked of operators
A WET account
Applications are tied to an account so you can follow their status. Sign-in is an emailed code — no password.
Dependable availability
Coverage runs on the event’s clock. Operators commit to the events they accept and arrive ready.
Care with rights and people
Film only what the venue’s agreement allows, follow the venue’s rules on site, and respect everyone in the frame.
Checks before any assignment
Eligibility checks, such as identity or right to work, will be set out before any assignment. None happen at the waitlist stage.
Equipment the application asks about
Camera
Anything from a recent phone to broadcast cameras. Say what you have — no gear is required to join the waitlist.
Audio
Microphones or recorders for clean event sound.
Connectivity
A mobile hotspot or bonded uplink for sending video from site.
Transport
A driver’s license and a way to move gear widen the events you can reach.
FAQ
Questions applicants ask first
Is this a job offer?
No. Applications join the waitlist. WET Field has no open assignments yet and no pay rates are set; the terms will be shared with applicants before anyone is asked to work.
How will operators be paid?
Pay rates and terms have not been set. Nothing on this page is a promise of earnings.
Do I need professional experience?
No. The application asks your level in camera work, production and technical work, from none yet to professional.
Does field work involve trading?
No. Field work is coverage: video, timing and event records. WET is not an exchange, and field work never involves taking orders, handling funds or trading on anyone’s behalf.
