DESCRIPTION

Film & Video Craft Expert (Camera, VFX, Editing & Performance) Availability & Commitment Confirmation: Film & Video Craft Expert (20 hrs/week, Remote) All application steps are reused whenever another role requires the same step, so you never have to upload your resume or take the same interview twice Join a leading AI lab's cutting-edge research team to be at the core of the AI revolution, where your expertise fuels the development of the most advanced AI models. Join a leading AI lab's cutting-edge research team and help shape how its next generation of video models is judged. We're seeking film, theater and visual effects professionals who understand how a shot is built, from lighting and grade to framing, camera movement, continuity, texture and performance, to compare AI-generated video side by side and explain which result holds up to a professional eye. This work is ongoing, with new rounds as new models are released. This is a W-2 employment position with Cincinnatus LLC (or appropriate international entity), with the opportunity to be placed at a leading AI Lab as part of their extended workforce. Key Responsibilities Evaluate pairs of AI-generated videos made from the same prompt and choose the stronger result on specific craft axes: lighting and grade, framing and composition, camera and lens direction, texture and physical realism, shot continuity, and acting and dialogue delivery. Write short, precise reasons for each judgment that name what worked and what broke, in the language a supervisor would use in dailies. Check each video against its prompt, including whether the requested camera move, lens, framing or performance was actually delivered. Take part in calibration rounds with other raters so judgments stay consistent across the pool, and flag prompts or guidelines that are unclear. Collaborate with other subject matter experts to ensure consistency and accuracy in evaluation data. 3. Core
