We're looking for filmmakers and videographers to contribute to our Filmmaking: Video-to-Video Edits project on Outlier, a platform that connects subject matter experts with leading AI companies.

What the project involves

You'll record paired real-camera videos used to train video-editing AI models. All footage must be original camera recordings — no digitally altered, warped, cloned, or composited material. Each deliverable falls into one of two categories:

- Open, Multiple Angles: one performance recorded simultaneously on 2+ cameras from clearly different angles
- Exact Edits, Action Change: the same scene recorded twice on a locked tripod, with the person performing a different full action in each take (for example, pouring tea vs. slicing bread)

What you'll contribute

- Plan and record continuous 10–30 second actions with 3+ beats: dance phrases, sports drills, cooking sequences, workouts, craft activities, or two-person interactions
- For Open sets: record one performance simultaneously on 2+ cameras (3–4 preferred), at least ~30° apart or at a clearly different height or distance
- For Precise pairs: record input and output takes on a locked tripod, changing only the action (and any props the new action requires)




- Align all videos frame-for-frame in post by trimming only — no warping, time-stretching, or frame blending
- Deliver every video at exactly 1920×1080 or 1080×1920, H.264, 30 Mbps, 30 fps
- Create an audit video for every deliverable: a sync proof for Open sets, a 50% opacity overlay for Precise pairs
- Write a short 1–2 sentence prompt describing exactly what changed, plus one metadata row per deliverable

What you'll need

- The ability to record one performance simultaneously on 2+ cameras, with exposure, white balance, and frame rate locked
- A tripod that can be locked for zero frame shift between takes
- The ability to align videos frame-for-frame in post, with the same frame count, same start frame, and no drift
- Access to controllable locations: kitchens, living rooms, home offices, balconies, gardens, or studio sets
- Performers who will sign appearance and ML-training releases (no minors)
- Original footage only — no stock, no web video, and nothing recorded for another client.

Pay details $17 per task, with each task taking roughly 1.2 hours.
