Cinematography Prompting Specialist

About the Role

We're looking for film and camera professionals to help train next-generation AI video models. As a Cinematography Prompting Specialist, you'll watch short video clips and translate what you see into precise, technically rich shot descriptions — the kind only someone with a trained eye can write. Your work directly shapes how AI understands and generates visual content. If you've spent time behind a camera, in an edit suite, or studying film, this is a rare opportunity to put that expertise to work in the AI space.

What You'll Do

• Watch short video clips and identify key shots, transitions, and visual moments
• Describe framing, camera movement, blocking, lighting, and composition using accurate film terminology
• Write structured prompts that capture the look, feel, and intent of each shot
• Reference relevant stylistic influences or visual approaches when applicable
• Follow internal templates for both shot-level and sequence-level descriptions
• Distinguish between effective and ineffective prompts and provide examples when needed
• Maintain consistent terminology, depth, and quality across all tasks

Who You Are

• Must-Have:
• Background in cinematography, camera operation, film editing, or film studies
• Ability to describe shots using professional film language and technical terminology
• Strong eye for visual detail — composition, lens characteristics, movement, and lighting
• Clear, consistent written communication across repetitive tasks
• Nice to Have:
• Experience writing prompts for AI video or image generation tools
• Professional credits as a DP, camera operator, director, or editor
• Familiarity with AI training workflows or data annotation

• Work on cutting-edge AI projects shaping the future of video generation
• Fully remote and asynchronous — work when and where it suits you
• Freelance flexibility with meaningful, intellectually engaging work
• Contribute to AI development that directly benefits the creative and film community
• Potential for ongoing work and contract extension
