Video Recorder

Our client is building first-person (POV) video datasets that train AI models to connect what they see (objects, hands, and actions) with spoken descriptions of what's happening. The footage shows real people doing hands-on tasks, filmed from a smartphone mounted on the head or chest. We're looking for Recorders: people who have genuinely mastered a hands-on activity and can film themselves doing it from start to finish, from their own point of view. Whether you're a skilled woodworker, an experienced barista, a knitter, a bike mechanic, or someone who can fold laundry with precision, your expertise becomes the example an AI model learns from. If you're fluent in English, you can narrate live as you work. If not, that's fine too: ambient audio is enough, and a separate narrator will add the description later.
