About Alignerr

Alignerr works with AI labs that need high‑quality, human‑created descriptions of film and video. Our teams help models understand not just “what is on screen,” but how a scene is staged, paced, and emotionally framed.

Role Overview

The Film Scene Description Specialist reviews short scenes and produces structured beat-by-beat visual descriptions. This role focuses on describing scene flow, camera behavior, blocking, pacing, and emotional tone strictly through visual information, without relying on dialogue.

What You’ll Do

  • Watch scenes and break them into visual beats
  • Describe camera movement, framing choices, pacing, and blocking
  • Communicate mood and tone using purely visual indicators
  • Identify key transitions, reveals, or motifs in the scene
  • Follow standardized formatting for scene summaries and beat breakdowns
  • Provide clarity notes where visuals are ambiguous
  • Maintain consistency across a large volume of scene descriptions

Must-Have

What You Bring

  • Background in film, directing, editing, cinematography, or film school
  • Ability to describe scenes visually without referencing dialogue
  • Strong structured writing and scene-analysis ability
  • Comfort re-watching clips to ensure accuracy

Nice-to-Have

  • Experience with script coverage, storyboarding, or pre-vis workflows
  • Understanding of scene structure and storytelling fundamentals

$30 - $50 an hour
