Visual Storytelling Prompt Writer

$40-120/hrRemoteFreelanceGENERAL

About the Role

What if your love of film, your eye for composition, and your ability to put visuals into words could directly shape the future of AI-generated video? We're looking for Visual Storytelling Prompt Writers to watch video clips and translate what they see into rich, structured prompts — capturing mood, camera perspective, narrative, and style in a way that helps AI models understand and recreate the world on screen.

This is a fully remote, flexible contract role. No professional experience in film or AI required — just a sharp visual sense, strong descriptive writing skills, and a genuine passion for the craft of visual storytelling.

  • Organization: Alignerr
  • Type: Hourly Contract
  • Location: Remote
  • Commitment: 10–40 hours/week

What You'll Do

  • Watch video clips and craft structured prompts that capture the essence of each scene
  • Describe characters, settings, camera angles, movement, lighting, and mood with precision
  • Balance technical cinematographic detail with narrative and emotional context
  • Produce multiple prompt variations when required to cover different interpretations
  • Follow established style guides for wording, specificity, and point of view
  • Work independently and asynchronously — fully on your own schedule

Who You Are

  • A strong writer with a gift for visual clarity — you describe what you see, not what you hear
  • Passionate about film, video, photography, or visual storytelling in any form
  • Able to translate a single frame or scene into evocative, structured written language
  • Detail-oriented and consistent when following prompt-writing guidelines and examples
  • Comfortable working independently without supervision
  • No professional experience required — your eye for visuals matters more than your CV

Nice to Have

  • Background in filmmaking, screenwriting, photography, art direction, or visual arts
  • Familiarity with cinematographic terms — shot types, camera movement, lighting setups
  • Experience writing creative briefs, shot lists, or scene descriptions
  • Prior exposure to AI image or video generation tools
  • Interest in how AI models interpret and recreate visual content

Why Join Us

  • Work on cutting-edge AI projects alongside leading research labs
  • Fully remote and flexible — work when and where it suits you
  • Freelance autonomy with the structure of meaningful, task-based work
  • Contribute to AI development that is actively reshaping how machines see and understand the visual world
  • Potential for ongoing work and contract extension as new projects launch
