About Us

We're launching an automotive YouTube channel built on a real collector car operation. I buy, fix, and sell about one enthusiast vehicle every month: old European classics, JDM imports, off-roaders. Before this I founded Pacer, an AI vehicle intelligence company that did partnership deals with Ford and Amazon. The cars, the money, and the stories are all real, and now we're putting them on camera.

The channel is brand new. Whoever joins now helps decide what it becomes, from the shot style to the publishing strategy.

What You'll Do

• Film real car flips start to finish: pickups, inspections, wrenching sessions, detail days, test drives, sales
• Own the visual side of every shoot. You pick the shots, the angles, and the coverage, and you handle framing, audio, and lighting in garages, at auctions, and on backroads
• Capture vertical clips for Shorts and TikTok alongside the main footage
• Join content planning and pitch ideas. Formats, titles, thumbnails, and series concepts are all open for debate, and we test what we argue about
• Help build our shot lists and filming playbook as we figure out what works

Who You Are

• A student who knows their way around a camera. Coursework, club work, or personal projects all count, just show us something you've shot
• Comfortable filming outdoors, in garages, and around moving vehicles
• Able to get yourself to shoot locations
• Liking cars helps but isn't required. If you watch car YouTube and have opinions about why some channels work, we want to hear them

Why This Is Worth Your Time

There's no hierarchy here. You would own how this channel looks, you'd see the analytics, and your ideas would get tested in public within weeks. You leave with published work on a channel with real cars and real stakes instead of class projects. As the channel grows, the hours, rate, and scope grow with it.

To Apply: Send anything you've filmed (class work, personal projects, Instagram, whatever) and 2-3 sentences on a car video or channel you think is done well and why.
