We're looking for a seasoned creative with a sharp eye and a strong command of generative AI, someone who doesn't just prompt, but crafts. Below two films are a good reference. We are looking for a person who is a good storyteller, who can make shots look natural and AI characters look human. Good attention to detail, and integrate imperfections to bring in more realism.

- Take raw AI output and elevate it to publication-ready quality through skilled post-intervention and refinement

What you bring
- A portfolio that demonstrates genuine range compelling AI stills and film/video work
- Deep, hands-on fluency with leading generative AI tools (image, video, and beyond)
- An instinctive, trained eye for quality, composition, and visual storytelling
- The craft to know when AI output is almost there and the skill to take it the rest of the way
- Clear, confident communication; you can articulate creative decisions and take direction equally well
- A proactive mindset - you bring ideas, flag opportunities, and don't wait to be told
What's expected
- Experienced professional level. This is not an entry-level role
- You follow the global conversation around AI aesthetics and visual innovation closely
- You hold your own work to a high standard, every time.
Tools
- Aftereffects/Nuke, Photoshop or Equal. (This will give us the confidence that they can elevate the AI output in post)
- 3D software (Good to have, not mandatory)]
AI Tools:
- Must know all the strength and weaknesses of Generative Models.
- Must be fluent with Video Generative Tools and construction of prompts.
- Workspace creation (Magnific Space, ComfyUI, Figma Weave) is a plus.
Portfolio:
- This is AI production first and hence we will keep our eyes out for pureplay AI output.
- Candidate must have AI films that shows scene continuity.
- Must have atleast done product ads.
- Candidate must have consistent looking characters, product proof in their portfolio.
- Have atleast one published AI film (done for a brand, approved and released).
