We are looking to find a skilled Camera Motion and Shot Annotation Specialist to join our growing team.

• Label framing categories such as extreme close up, close up, medium, medium-long, wide or crowd frame

• Tag basic compositional attributes including centered subject, rule-of-thirds alignment, foreground/background emphasis and depth cues

• Mark cut points and basic transition types to align shot metadata with edit structure

• Flag ambiguous or mixed camera motions and document brief notes

• Export structured shot-level metadata linked to timestamps and scene identifiers

Requirements:

• Understanding of cinematography, camera movement, and standard shot naming

• Ability to distinguish camera motion from subject motion

• Experience with shot-level playback and annotation tools

Background:

Application Requirements:

• Short note explaining your definition of a shot boundary

• Optional: past shot list or cinematography breakdown

• Completion of the test task

Compensation

• Per shot or per minute of footage, depending on project density.
