Performance & Directing Supervisor
Join a leading AI lab's cutting-edge GenAI team to be at the core of the AI revolution, where your expertise fuels the development of the most advanced AI models.
Overview
A leading AI lab is building generative video models that aim to capture human performance and staging faithfully: acting realism, blocking, screen direction, eyelines, continuity and emotional nuance, carried into a new output. We're looking for experienced directors, assistant directors, animation supervisors and performance specialists to help define what a convincing, well staged performance looks like, and to judge where the models get it right or wrong. This is a full-time role of approximately 40 hours per week.
This is a W-2 employment position with Cincinnatus LLC, with the opportunity to be placed at a leading AI Lab as part of their extended workforce.
Key Responsibilities
- Set the quality bar: Define clear standards for acting realism, blocking, screen direction (the 180-degree rule and eyelines) and continuity, critique current evaluations, and help build a taxonomy of the ways generated performances fail.
- Curate benchmarks: Identify, generate and curate strong examples of excellent and genuinely hard dramatic performances and staging, and test early model capabilities against them.
- Critique model outputs: Review generated scenes the way you would in dailies, and write precise, actionable notes on performance, staging and continuity.
- Shape the reviewer pool and captions: Help define how human reviewers are vetted and calibrated, and review captioning guidelines so performance and directing nuance is described accurately.
