Cinematography Prompting Specialist

Cinematography Prompting Specialist (AI Training)

About The Role

We're looking for film-fluent creatives to help train cutting-edge 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 of language that only someone who truly understands cinema can produce.

Your work will directly influence how AI systems learn to understand and generate video. If you've spent years thinking in frames, lenses, and light, this is a rare opportunity to put that expertise to work in a meaningful new way.

• Type: Hourly Contract
• Location: Remote
• Commitment: Flexible --- work on your own schedule

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
• Note stylistic references and cinematographic choices where relevant
• Follow internal templates for shot-level and sequence-level descriptions
• Distinguish between effective and ineffective prompt examples when needed
• Maintain consistent terminology, depth, and clarity across all tasks

Must-Have: Who You Are

• Background in cinematography, camera operation, editing, directing, or film studies
• Ability to describe shots fluently using film language and technical terminology
• Sharp eye for visual detail --- composition, lens character, movement, and tone
• Strong written communication and ability to stay consistent 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 or annotation workflows

Why This Role

• Work on cutting-edge AI projects at the frontier of video generation technology
• Fully remote and async --- work whenever and wherever suits you
• Freelance freedom: autonomy, variety, and flexibility
• Put your film knowledge to use in a field where it's genuinely rare and valued
• Potential for ongoing work and contract extension as projects scale
