Recorder - Videos for Data Collection Project, AI training

**About the Client** Our client is involved in an innovative data-collection project, which focuses on creating video datasets for training AI models. These AI models are designed to learn from first-person (POV) video footage. The captured videos depict real people involved in hands-on tasks with a mounted phone on their head or chest, paired with spoken narration. The purpose is to enable the model to connect visual inputs (objects, hands, actions) with audio descriptions. **About the Role** The Recorder role requires individuals who can master a specific hands-on activity from a selection of verticals. You will need to film yourself performing these tasks from a first-person perspective using your smartphone while ensuring the tasks are clearly visible. If fluent in English, you may narrate live; otherwise, ambient audio will suffice, and a separate narrator will cover the task later. **Tasks & Deliverables** * Task Execution: Select a mastered sub-area activity and record a complete end-to-end process. * Video Requirements: Ensure hands and the procedure are constantly in focus. * Narration: Provide live narration if fluent in English or ambient audio for post-recording narration. * Format: Deliver videos in MP4 format with accompanying JSON metadata. * Quality: Maintain narration density at 25 words per minute; ensure 90%+ of speech describes the setting or task steps. **Required Skills** * Mastery of at least one specific sub-area activity from the provided list below (more applications and what need to be recorded for each skill sub-area will be provided in detail prior to the work). * Home & Daily Tasks: cleaning; laundry (sorting, folding); organizing a closet; house tours; pet care; packing luggage; loading appliances / dishwashing * Repairs & DIY: home repair; gardening / farming; furniture assembly; woodworking; plumbing; electrical work; bicycle maintenance; soldering electronics * Textile & Craft Arts: sewing; knitting; crocheting; using a loom; leathercrafting; bookbinding; crafting jewelry; pottery / ceramics * Professional Trades & Industrial: automotive repair / maintenance; warehousing / logistics; construction / woodworking; laboratory work; operating heavy machinery controls; assembly-line packaging * Hobbies & Arts: art drawing; art ceramics; art painting; playing instruments; model building; outdoor survival / camping; calligraphy * Technology & Computing: using computers or devices (e.g. audio mixers); gaming; product demos; VR / AR interaction; 3D printer setup / maintenance * Outdoors & Activity: city tours; shopping; navigating public transit * Personal Care: haircut; applying makeup; detailed grooming routines * Specialized & Professional: medical procedures; first aid training; professional barista workflows; culinary chef / knife work; lab protocols (pipetting, titrations) * The capability to record stable, clear POV videos with a smartphone. * Ability to work in a real setting without third parties in frame. * Competent in following a prepare -> execute -> finish script for filming tasks. * All details on the Acceptance Criteria will be shared prior to the work. **Nice-to-have Skills** * Experience recording tutorials or classes. * Access to various settings for diverse video backgrounds. * Owns equipment like a head/chest mount, image stabilization tools, or a good microphone. **Rules** * No personal data on video third-party faces, screens, documents, plates, addresses, mirror reflections. * 100% human narration no TTS or synthetic voice. **Engagement Details** * Compensation model: Hourly paid, considering the total number of hours for approved videos. Commitment Type: Flexible hours based on video submissions. Duration: Ongoing, with earnings based on the number of approved videos. Location: Remote, with flexible overlap with client's timezone.
