VFX Artist / 3D Animator for AI Video Annotation

Apply visual-effects and 3D-animation expertise to help interpret videos of robotic arms completing real-world tasks. This remote contract role focuses on creating precise, consistent video annotations that support AI training, rather than producing or rendering animation assets.

• Review video footage of robotic arms using detailed annotation and grading guidelines.
• Identify and label motion, object interactions, spatial changes, task outcomes, errors, and other relevant events in each video segment.
• Use knowledge of transforms, trajectories, timing, occlusion, physical behavior, object tracking, and visual continuity to interpret activity accurately.
• Tag video content accurately and consistently using dedicated annotation tools.
• Flag visual anomalies, tracking issues, and ambiguous moments, documenting observations in concise written notes.
• Support quality control by reviewing annotations and providing constructive feedback when requested.
• Complete assigned batches accurately and by established deadlines.

• Professional or academic background in visual effects, 3D animation, motion graphics, technical art, computer graphics, or a related field.
• Strong understanding of motion, timing, spatial relationships, object tracking, occlusion, and visual continuity.
• Familiarity with Blender, Maya, Houdini, Cinema 4D, Nuke, After Effects, or comparable software.
• Excellent attention to detail, including the ability to spot subtle motion changes, visual artifacts, and inconsistencies.
• Strong written communication skills and the ability to clearly describe visual observations and edge cases.
• Experience with video annotation, visual QA, computer-vision datasets, AI training projects, or robotics is helpful but not required.
• No prior AI, robotics, or data-annotation experience is required.

• Remote independent-contractor engagement.
• Open to candidates located in North America, Latin America, Europe, the UK, and Oceania.
