About the role

You will be responsible for generating, directing, and assembling cinematic AI-generated scenes/video content for QUANTUM 13, an original science-fiction series produced by Somex Studios. This role combines the creative responsibilities of a Cinematographer and Director of Photography with the technical expertise of a Generative AI Video Prompting Engineer.

You will coordinate with our original Quantum 13 IP scripts, storyboards, and creative direction into cinematic sequences using generative AI video and image tools. This includes developing detailed prompts, generating consistent characters and environments, directing camera movements and performances, and editing individual shots into complete scenes that form part of a larger episode structure.

We are looking for someone with a strong background in AI filmmaking, cinematography, or creative direction who understands visual storytelling beyond simply generating attractive images. You should have an understanding of lighting, composition, lens selection, camera movement, blocking, continuity, and editing. Your job is to apply these principles through generative AI to produce visually compelling, narratively coherent episodes that meet a professional cinematic standard.

Key responsibilities

• Generate high-quality cinematic AI videos using platforms such as Seedance, Kling, ETC, and other emerging generative video models
• Develop detailed, technically precise prompts specifying camera angles, lens characteristics, lighting, composition, subject movement, character performances, environmental behaviour, and shot timing
• Translate scripts, storyboards, and scene descriptions into individual AI-generated shots that can be assembled into complete cinematic sequences
• Apply professional cinematography principles, including shot composition, motivated camera movement, depth of field, exposure, lighting ratios, colour temperature, and visual continuity
• Generate and refine AI images for character references, environments, establishing shots, keyframes, and visual assets required for video generation
• Maintain consistency in character identities, facial appearances, costumes, environments, lighting, and overall visual style across multiple shots and episodes
• Direct AI-generated character performances, including facial expressions, body language, dialogue delivery, physical interactions, and complex action choreography
• Edit and assemble generated video clips into coherent scenes using Adobe Premiere Pro, DaVinci Resolve, or equivalent professional editing software
• Structure scenes according to established episode scripts, ensuring appropriate pacing, shot transitions, narrative progression, and emotional impact
• Work with existing dialogue, sound design, original music, and other audio assets to produce properly timed and synchronised cinematic sequences
• Identify visual inconsistencies, generation artifacts, unnatural movements, and continuity errors, then refine or regenerate footage to meet production standards
• Experiment with different generative AI models, image-to-video techniques, reference-based generation, and multi-shot workflows to achieve specific creative outcomes
• Develop and maintain reusable prompting techniques, character references, visual guidelines, and production workflows to improve consistency and efficiency
• Collaborate with the creative team on shot planning, visual development, scene execution, and post-production to ensure all content aligns with the established QUANTUM 13 universe
• Organise generated assets, project files, and scene timelines into a structured production pipeline that supports revisions and efficient episode delivery

About you

• Demonstrable experience in filmmaking, cinematography, film direction, or creative direction, with a portfolio showing strong visual storytelling and cinematic execution in AI generative filmmaking and outside of AI generative filmmaking.
• Strong understanding of professional cinematography, including camera framing, focal lengths, lens behaviour, camera movement, composition, lighting, and shot continuity
• Practical experience with generative AI video platforms such as Seedance, Kling, or comparable tools, with the ability to generate controlled and repeatable cinematic results
• Experience with AI image generation platforms such as ChatGPT Image, Nano Banana, or similar tools for developing visual references, character images, and environments
• Ability to write detailed, technically specific prompts that translate creative intentions into camera direction, subject performance, environmental movement, and visual outcomes
• Proficiency in Adobe Premiere Pro and/or DaVinci Resolve, with experience assembling individual shots into complete scenes
• Strong understanding of film editing principles, including pacing, shot selection, continuity editing, scene transitions, and narrative structure
• An excellent eye for visual consistency, realism, character performance, lighting, and cinematic detail
• Ability to interpret scripts, shot lists, storyboards, and visual references while making independent creative decisions that improve the final sequence
• Comfortable working through multiple iterations, troubleshooting inconsistent AI outputs, and refining generations until they meet the required creative standard
• Strong organisational skills and the ability to manage large quantities of generated video footage, image references, and editing assets
• Fluent English speaking and writing capability

Strong advantages:

Professional experience as a AI Filmmaker, Director of Photography, Cinematographer, or Creative Director; experience producing narrative short films, music videos, or episodic productions; advanced knowledge of cinema cameras and lenses such as ARRI, RED, anamorphic optics, and professional lighting techniques; experience with visual effects, compositing, colour grading, and AI-assisted post-production.

Also valued:

Experience directing action sequences, science-fiction productions, or character-driven narratives; familiarity with 3D environments, virtual production, or Blender; experience building efficient AI video production pipelines; knowledge of emerging generative video models and techniques for maintaining character, costume, and environment consistency across multiple scenes.
