Video Shot Annotation Artist

Remote-first Full-time Now hiring

Video Shot Annotation Artist (AI Training) About The Role We're looking for visually fluent creatives to help teach AI how to see film the way a filmmaker does. As a Video Shot Annotation Artist at Alignerr, you'll break down video content at the shot level — describing camera angles, framing, movement, pacing, and mood — so that AI systems can understand not just what is on screen, but how it was crafted. This is a unique opportunity to put your knowledge of film grammar to work on cutting-edge AI projects, entirely on your own schedule.

  • Organization: Alignerr
  • Type: Hourly Contract
  • Location: Remote
  • Commitment: Flexible hours

What You'll Do

  • Watch video clips and segment them into individual shots, confirming cut boundaries with precision
  • Annotate each shot with camera angle, shot size, and camera movement (e.g., pan, tilt, dolly, handheld)
  • Write clear, concise descriptions of on-screen action within each shot
  • Apply stylistic and tonal tags — including lighting style, visual mood, and genre feel — where relevant
  • Work within predefined taxonomies and labeling frameworks to ensure consistency across large datasets
  • Flag ambiguous shots, unclear transitions, or edge cases for review
  • Maintain accuracy and output quality across high-volume annotation workflows

Must-Have Who You Are

  • Strong visual literacy — you notice shot distinctions others miss
  • Solid understanding of core film grammar: shot types, camera angles, and movement terminology
  • Comfortable working in structured labeling tools, spreadsheets, or annotation interfaces
  • Detail-oriented and consistent, especially across repetitive tasks
  • Ability to work independently and manage your own pace

Nice To Have

  • Background in video editing, assistant editing, cinematography, or post-production
  • Prior experience with data annotation, dataset labeling, or AI training workflows
  • Familiarity with visual storytelling across different genres and formats

Why Join Us

  • Work on meaningful AI projects with leading research labs
  • Fully remote and async — work on your own schedule, from anywhere
  • Apply specialized film knowledge to a field where it's genuinely rare and valued
  • Freelance autonomy with the potential for ongoing, long-term contract work
  • Be part of a growing community of creative and technical contributors shaping the future of AI
