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.

What You'll Do
- Watch video clips and segment them into individual shots, confirming cut boundaries with precision

- 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
