About DoBeDoUs
DoBeDoUs is a growing creative class booking platform that helps adults discover in-person classes taught by artists, makers, writers, and other creative professionals in New York City.
Our goal is to make creative learning easier to begin while supporting the people and local businesses that teach these experiences.
About the Internship
We are looking for a part-time intern to visit approximately four creative classes per month and document each experience through smartphone video, photography, and short written observations.
You will help us build a reusable content library featuring teachers, creative processes, materials, spaces, and learner experiences. You will also gain hands-on experience in social media storytelling, visual documentation, content planning, and marketing for a growing creative business.
This is a smartphone-first position. Professional camera equipment and extensive filmmaking experience are not required. We are looking for someone who is visually observant, curious, dependable, and comfortable working in different creative spaces.
What You Will Do
- Attend scheduled creative classes across New York City.
- Capture a variety of vertical and horizontal videos and photos.
- Document the teacher, setting, materials, creative process, participants, and finished work.
- Capture natural moments without interrupting the class or distracting learners.
- Conduct brief interviews when requested and approved.
- Write a short report about the class experience.
- Upload all deliverables within three business days unless otherwise agreed.
- Follow DoBeDoUs filming, privacy, brand, and participant-consent guidelines.
- Communicate promptly if a scheduling, technical, filming, or access issue arises.
What to Capture
Each class visit should include a mix of:
- The exterior, entrance, studio, or classroom
- Teacher introductions and demonstrations
- Hands working with tools and materials
- Students participating
- Wide, medium, and close-up views
- Different stages of the creative process
- Details, textures, supplies, and completed projects
- Natural interactions and reactions
- Short comments from teachers or participants when approved
- General footage that may be useful for broader DoBeDoUs content
The goal is to capture both the specific class and the wider appeal of hands-on creative learning.
Deliverables Per Class
For a one-hour visit:
- Approximately 20 to 35 usable video clips
- Approximately 10 to 20 usable photos
For a two-hour visit:
- Approximately 35 to 60 usable video clips
- Approximately 15 to 30 usable photos
Each assignment will also include:
- A written report of approximately 250 to 400 words
- Brief notes about strong moments or potential content ideas
- Occasional simple edited Reels or short videos when assigned
The report and content notes should be combined into one Google Doc.
All videos, photos, the Google Doc, and any assigned edited assets should be placed in one folder named after the class. You will not need to rename individual files, create subfolders, or organize the assets in detail.
Final quantities may vary depending on the class length, space, lighting, participant permissions, and filming conditions. Quality, variety, and usability are more important than reaching an exact number.
Written Report
The report should briefly describe:
- The atmosphere and setting
- The teacher’s personality and teaching approach
- How the class was structured
- How much guidance learners received
- Whether the experience felt beginner-friendly
- Memorable materials, details, or moments
- Observations that could help DoBeDoUs market the class accurately
The writing does not need to be highly polished. It should be clear, observant, specific, and useful.
What You Will Learn
During the internship, you will have opportunities to:
- Develop smartphone photography and video skills in live environments
- Learn how to capture content for Instagram Reels and other marketing channels
- Practice visual storytelling through wide, medium, and close-up shots
- Understand how content supports brand, audience, and business goals
- Gain experience working with artists, teachers, studios, and local businesses
- Receive feedback on your filming, photography, writing, and content ideas
- Develop selected portfolio pieces with prior approval
The internship may be eligible for academic credit with approval from your school.
