Experienced AI Video Artist

We’re hiring an experienced AI video artist to contribute to a cinematic teaser for an AI infrastructure client. The project has a tight timeline and requires someone who’s already deep in the world of high-end AI video generation — someone who does this daily, knows the tools inside and out, and can deliver production-ready results fast. This is not a learning opportunity or a vibe match for generalists. We already generate AI video internally and are looking to bring on an expert who can elevate and accelerate what we're already doing. You’ll be working closely with our 3D animator on a few key sequences that lean into abstract visual metaphor — sculpted light, futuristic infrastructure, mythic scale. Requirements: Proven experience generating detailed, cinematic AI video on tight deadlines Comfort with tools like Runway, Pika, Gen-2, AnimateDiff, Comfy UI, Fal, and/or custom AI pipelines Ability to integrate or collaborate within hybrid workflows (AI + 3D + compositing) To Apply: Portfolio or reel (AI video-heavy) Your typical rate / fee structure Brief note on your workflow and experience delivering on tight turnarounds About Us: We’re a boutique production team working across emerging tech and cinematic storytelling. We’ve used AI image generation extensively for client work. This is our first time hiring through the Curious Refuge community, and we’re excited to connect with highly skilled collaborators here.

Please include your standard rate (hourly or per-project) and a few examples of relevant work. We’re flexible for the right fit, but we’re prioritizing speed and polish.
