About this role
Outlier helps the world’s most innovative companies improve their AI models by providing human feedback.
About the opportunity
We’re looking for working videographers and content creators who can shoot short, clean, original clips on their own equipment. Your footage is used to train video generative AI models. This is remote, freelance work with flexible hours, so you can shoot whenever suits you.
What you'll do
- Film short original clips (10 to 30 seconds) from a brief, such as the same scene from several angles at once, or the same locked-off scene twice with a different action each time
- Line the takes up frame by frame in your editor, with no drift
- Export to spec and write a short description of each clip
What you need to bring (equipment first)
- A camera or recent smartphone that records 1080p at 30 fps, with manual control to lock exposure, focus and white balance
- A tripod or a stable mount for every camera you shoot with. Handheld footage won’t pass
- Two or more cameras or phones for multi-angle shoots. If you only have one, you can still take the same-scene, different-action tasks
- Controlled lighting, indoors or outdoors, with no flicker, auto-exposure hunting or window-light drift
- Editing software of any kind that can export H.264 at 1080p, 30 fps, around 30 Mbps, with no upscaling
Experience we’re looking for
- You’ve shot repeatable, locked-off setups before, such as cooking, tutorial, product or commercial content
- You can match exposure, white balance and frame rate across cameras, and line up takes exactly in post
- You can get adult subjects (yourself, friends, family or a small crew) who are comfortable being filmed and signing a consent form
