Video Shot Annotation Artist

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
