Position Overview
We are looking for an AI Storyboard & Video Artist to support short‑form narrative projects by translating shotlists and creative direction into consistent, usable AI‑generated images and video clips.

This role operates in a fast‑paced, iterative environment that demands strong team collaboration, visual judgment, and fluency with AI tools. Narrative pacing and story structure are established by the writing and editing teams.

Write, refine, and iterate prompts to control framing, camera distance, composition, and visual focus

Adapt outputs to fit short‑form narrative needs, without redesigning story structure or pacing

Assemble and edit generated assets into complete episodes, managing the full post‑production loop including pacing, AI voiceover synchronization, sound design, and music mixing

Deliver final, publishable episodes ensuring high production value and adherence to platform technical specifications

Collaborate with creative leads to ensure generated visuals are usable and editorial‑friendly

Explore and test new AI tools and workflows to improve efficiency and quality

Qualifications

Hands‑on experience with AI image and/or video generation platforms

Strong understanding of prompting and visual control (angle, framing, emphasis)

Solid visual literacy (composition, camera language, shot types)

Background in storyboarding, filmmaking, photography, illustration, or video production is a plus

Ability to follow creative direction while making smart visual execution decisions

Comfortable working in fast‑iteration environments

High acceptance of AI‑assisted workflows and new technologies

Experience with short‑form narrative, episodic content, or dramatic visual storytelling

Familiarity with AI‑generated video pipelines

Understanding of how visuals support attention and clarity in short‑form content

Strong communication skills and ability to respond constructively to feedback
