Record Video at Home for AI - $70 One-Time Task

Mindrift•New York, NY
•Onsite

About The Position

Mindrift is seeking US-based participants for a one-time, paid project to record short videos at home for a smart TV AI project. Participants record a short video of their face and a series of videos in their living room while a supplied clip plays on the TV, following step-by-step YouTube instructions. The project is intended to help train AI for smart TVs. No prior experience is required. Participants use their own eligible iPhone and a tripod or phone holder, keep the setup within about 10 feet of the TV, and upload the recordings through the Mindrift app over Wi-Fi. Recording takes about 1 to 1.5 hours, plus upload time, and participants choose when to record. The task is complete once the recordings meet the acceptance criteria and are approved. Payment is $70 once for one approved task; repeat participation is possible only if approved by the project coordinator. Applicants must be at least 18, live in the United States outside Illinois, Texas, Oregon, Colorado, Washington, and Maryland, and speak English or Spanish. They must have an iPhone 14 Pro or newer Pro or Pro Max model with at least 256 GB of storage and 70 GB free, along with a TV, a couch with at least three seats facing it, about 10 feet of open space, and the listed household items. Participants must be alone in the room while recording and appear on camera; consent is collected during onboarding.
