About the Role
We're looking for film-savvy professionals to help shape the future of AI video generation. As a Cinematography Prompting Specialist, you'll watch short video clips and translate what you see into technically precise, structured shot descriptions — the kind of language that helps AI systems understand and replicate the nuances of great cinematography.
This is a rare opportunity to put your eye for visual storytelling to work on cutting-edge AI projects, all from the comfort of your own schedule.

- Follow internal templates for both shot-level and sequence-level descriptions
- Provide examples of effective vs. ineffective prompts when needed
- Maintain consistent terminology, depth, and clarity across all tasks
