AI Video Artist / Filmmaker -- Professional Storyboard + Video Animation Prompter - Contract to Hire

Hello, We’re hiring an AI-Assisted Storyboard & Animation Operator to execute high-quality shot assets for an original episodic series. This role is ideal for someone who can blend visual storytelling instincts with AI-assisted animation workflows. This role is genre-agnostic: projects may range from children’s animation and documentary to thriller, sci-fi, or other narrative formats. This is not a creative auteur role, directing the film end-to-end. You will be the image and motion execution layer of a larger production system. You’ll work inside a fully defined visual system—character bibles, style references, tone guides, and shot lists are all provided. Your responsibility is to efficiently generate, animate, and deliver assets that integrate cleanly into our editorial pipeline. ----- WHAT YOU’LL BE DOING ----- Generate Storyboard Frames: Create specific frames from an existing script and shot list using our provided references. Produce Consistent Imagery: Prompt and generate high-fidelity images per shot that strictly adhere to our Character and Style Bibles. Animate for Tone: Turn still images into 3–5 second clips with motion appropriate for the project (e.g., subtle and restrained for drama, energetic for action). Editorial Delivery: Deliver clearly labeled, organized animated shots to a shared cloud drive and collaborate asynchronously with editors for light revisions. ----- WHAT WE PROVIDE ----- Full Character Bible and Visual References. Environment, Prop, and Lighting Style Guides. Script and Detailed Shot List. Defined Naming Conventions and Delivery Structure. You are executing within constraints, not inventing from scratch. ----- THE IDEAL FIT ----- Master of Consistency: You can maintain character and style continuity across dozens of shots using tools like Midjourney (--cref/--sref), LoRAs, or IP-Adapters. System-Oriented: You prefer clear direction and established systems over open-ended ideation. Technical Operator: You understand how to avoid AI "morphing" or "glitch" artifacts to produce clean, usable footage. Reliable: You deliver on schedule and communicate clearly in asynchronous workflows. ----- TOOL EXPERIENCE (ONE OR MORE REQUIRED) ----- Image Generation: Midjourney, Nano Banana, Stable Diffusion, etc. Motion/Animation: Kling, Veo, Runway, Pika, Luma, or similar. Cleanup: Topaz or equivalent upscaling tools. Note: You do not need to use every tool, but you must have a repeatable, high-quality workflow. ----- COMPENSATION ----- Fixed-rate project: $200–$1,000 USD per episode. Final rate is negotiable based on speed, consistency, and clean delivery. Successful performance leads to ongoing episodic work across multiple genres. REFERENCE (SCALE & SCOPE ONLY): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F1La0mzSJPo (This is a reference for production scale, not an indicator of a specific genre.) ----- TO APPLY (IMPORTANT) ----- Only apply if you can provide all of the following: 1. ONE Relevant Example Provide a link to an AI-assisted storyboard, a sequence of animated shots, or a short film. Crucial: The example must show visual consistency over multiple shots. Generic AI art portfolios will be ignored. 2. Your Workflow (5–8 sentences max) Please outline your technical process. Specifically address: The exact tools in your stack. Your method for maintaining character and style consistency. Your process for animating still images. How you organize and deliver files for an editorial team. 3. Your Rate Provide your flat fee for a 7–10 minute episode. Please state your single number and any assumptions (e.g., estimated shot count or revision rounds). 4. REQUIRED SCREENING QUESTION (Answer directly in your proposal) Question: When working across different genres using a fixed character and style bible, what concrete steps do you take to ensure visual consistency while adjusting tone and pacing? (Short, practical answers only). 5. Keyword Start your proposal with the word: "PIPELINE" Thanks! Apply tot his job Apply To this Job
