Job description

Full-Time · Remote · Reports to the Founder & Creative Director

ABOUT HINTON STUDIOS

Hinton Studios is an AI filmmaking and advertising studio built on a simple doctrine: human-directed, AI-executed. We produce brand TVCs, spec ad campaigns, short films, animated series, and social-first branded content — written, storyboarded, and directed with traditional filmmaking intelligence, then shot entirely through generative AI. No physical cameras, no compromises: every frame is held to broadcast-grade cinematic standards. Our work spans horror-comedy spec ads, product commercials, mythological epics, and boutique festival shorts. See it at www.hintonstudios.com .

ABOUT THE ROLE

We are hiring an AI Video Artist who is equal parts film director and editor . You will own productions end-to-end: take a brief or script, break it into shots, direct frontier AI video models the way a cinematographer directs a camera crew, and then cut, grade, and sound-design the output into a finished film.

This is not a “generate clips and stitch them” role. Our AI output must survive a TVC quality bar — photorealistic skin, locked character continuity, correct film grammar, motivated lighting, deliberate lensing. Your craft, taste, and prompt-writing precision are what get it there. You will work directly with the Founder & Creative Director across client commercials, spec campaigns, short films, and animation projects.

WHAT YOU WILL DO

• Direct complete AI productions from brief to final master: concept, script breakdown, shot lists, storyboards, generation, edit, grade, sound, and delivery.
• Write cinematic, shot-by-shot prompts for AI video models ( Seedance 2.0, Kling 3.0, Runway ) — specifying camera movement, lens language, lighting design, blocking, and composition with the precision of a working DP.
• Build storyboard keyframes with frontier AI image models and maintain character, product, and style consistency across multi-shot narratives using reference-image workflows.
• Edit and finish in DaVinci Resolve / Premiere Pro / After Effects : pacing, rhythm, sound design, music, typography, motion graphics, and color grading.
• Use LLMs ( Claude, ChatGPT ) as serious creative instruments — scriptwriting, treatments, prompt engineering, and structured pre-production documentation.
• Generate and direct AI voiceover, dialogue, and sound design (ElevenLabs, Suno, and similar tools).
• Adapt master films into platform variants — 16:9 TVC, 9:16 Reels/Shorts, 21:9 cinematic cuts — without losing the story.
• Enforce the studio quality bar: no AI artifacts, no plastic skin, no broken physics, no lazy compositions.
• Benchmark every major new model release against our current stack and continuously evolve the pipeline.
• Contribute to client-facing material: treatments, pitch decks, shot breakdowns, and revision rounds.

WHAT WE ARE LOOKING FOR

• 2+ years of hands-on video editing / post-production experience , plus a demonstrable body of AI-generated film work.
• A portfolio or showreel of AI-made or AI-assisted films — mandatory. Applications without work samples will not be reviewed.
• Expert-level prompt engineering and excellent written English. At Hinton, prompts are screenwriting: if you cannot write the shot, you cannot shoot it.
• Hands-on fluency with current AI video models — Seedance 2.0, Kling 3.0, Runway (Veo / Sora exposure a plus) — and AI image models for keyframing.
• Working fluency with LLMs ( Claude , ChatGPT) for creative development and production workflows.
• Proven consistency technique: keeping a character, product, or visual style locked across a 20–40 shot film.
• Strong editing fundamentals — cut timing, rhythm, sound design, typography, and color.
• Real film literacy: rule of thirds, the 180-degree rule, lens psychology, motivated lighting, blocking, and continuity — and the eye to catch the exact frame where AI breaks them.
• Comfort with ambiguity, rapid iteration, and deadline-driven client production in a fast-scaling studio.

BONUS POINTS

• Motion graphics / VFX depth in After Effects; Blender or other 3D experience.
• Musical sensibility — an ear for score and sound design, across Indian and global traditions.
• Prior agency, production-house, or TVC pipeline experience.
• Experience documenting AI workflows: SOPs, prompt libraries, internal playbooks, or training others.

WHY HINTON

• Small senior team, zero bureaucracy, direct creative ownership from day one.
