VFX Artist / 3D Animator

$50–90/hr · micro1

Annotate robotic‑arm video footage to create high‑quality training data for AI systems.

What you would do

  • Watch and analyze each video segment
  • Tag motions, interactions, and outcomes using annotation software
  • Document anomalies and ambiguous frames in brief notes
  • Review and refine annotations for consistency
  • Deliver completed batches on schedule

Who they want

  • Professional background in VFX, 3D animation or related visual effects field
  • Experience with tools like Blender, Maya, Houdini, Nuke or After Effects
  • Strong eye for detail and ability to spot subtle motion changes
  • Excellent written communication for clear annotation notes
  • Remote availability across NA, LATAM, Europe, UK or Oceania

What the interview asks about

  1. 1.Identifying occlusion events

    The role requires spotting when objects are hidden and correctly labeling their continuation, which directly impacts AI tracking accuracy

    For example: “When a robotic arm passes behind a conveyor belt, how would you annotate the hidden segment to ensure the AI model learns the correct trajectory?”

  2. 2.Labeling task outcomes

    Accurate outcome labeling trains the AI to recognize successful versus failed actions, a core deliverable

    For example: “If a robot fails to grasp an object in a clip, describe the steps you would take to label the failure and note the error type within the given time limit.”

  3. 3.Using annotation software efficiently

    Speed and consistency in the tool are essential for meeting batch deadlines while maintaining quality

    For example: “Walk me through how you would set up a tagging workflow in Blender to annotate a 30‑second clip with multiple motion events under a tight deadline.”

  4. 4.Communicating visual anomalies

    Clear written notes help downstream reviewers resolve ambiguous frames, preventing data noise

    For example: “You notice a sudden lighting glitch that obscures the robot’s gripper; how would you document this anomaly for the quality‑control team?”

  5. 5.Quality control review

    Ensuring consistency across annotations safeguards the integrity of the training dataset

    For example: “After completing a batch, what checklist would you use to verify that all motion labels align with the project’s grading rubric?”

A task you may get

You will be given a short video of a robotic arm assembling a part and asked to annotate motion paths, object interactions, and any errors using the provided tool, then write a brief note on any ambiguous frames.

How to prepare

  • Familiarize yourself with the annotation guidelines and sample videos
  • Practice tagging motion and occlusion in Blender or a similar tool
  • Prepare concise note‑taking templates for visual anomalies
  • Review common robotic‑arm tasks and typical failure modes
