What you'll do

Define clear standards for optics, sensor behavior, camera motion, lighting motivation and exposure, critique current evaluations, and help build a taxonomy of the ways generated footage fails.
Identify, generate and curate strong examples of excellent and genuinely hard camera and lighting setups, and test early model capabilities against them.
Review generated footage shot by shot and write precise, actionable notes on lensing, movement, lighting and exposure.
Help define how human reviewers are vetted and calibrated, and review captioning guidelines so optical and lighting detail is described accurately.
Collaborate with other experts to keep evaluations consistent and accurate.

Credits on 2+ professional films.
A background in at least one of: Director of Photography / Cinematographer (film, TV or commercial); Gaffer / Chief Lighting Technician; Camera Operator, 1st AC or Digital Imaging Technician (DIT); or Virtual Production / CG Lighting & Camera Layout Supervisor.
A meticulous eye for lens optics, sensor behavior, motivated lighting, exposure and color spaces.
Hands-on use of generative image and video tools (e.g., Runway, Midjourney, Sora, Kling) to create your own samples for testing and comparison.
Ability to engage reliably for approximately 40 hours/week during weekdays.
