AI Filmmaker (Remote)
Employer · Novakid School
Budapest
Novakid is investing heavily in its brand, and we want films that move people. We're looking for an AI Film Director to create brand films with a movie-level finish, using the latest generative AI tools. You'll take each film from brief to final master: from taking the brief to storyboard, AI generation, edit, colour and finishing. You'll work with our sound engineer on music and sound.
Tasks
- Direct and deliver cinematic brand films from brief to final master
- Turn briefs from the Head of Creative and Brand Director into emotional, story-driven concepts that stay true to Novakid's brand voice and visual identity
- Create and own Novakid's AI film style guide (characters, worlds, look and feel) so characters and style stay consistent from film to film
- Refine AI output by hand (retouching, compositing, redrawing, colour grading) until every frame has a movie-level finish
- Work with our sound engineer on music, sound design and voice-over, including localized versions for our key markets
- Plan each film's schedule and budget (tools, generation credits, freelancers when needed) and deliver on time
- Keep up with AI film tools and bring in new techniques that raise quality or speed
- Follow responsible AI practices with our Legal team: clear AI labelling, consent for any real person's likeness or voice, and commercial rights to everything we publish
- Own the voice acting and dubbing pipeline: work with an external casting/dubbing agency, or with per-language actor leads who source and manage further talent for their own language, to cast, record and quality-check localized voice content, attending recordings yourself to protect creative and brand quality
- Explore where AI voice generation fits for the existing video editors on lower-complexity projects, and build a lightweight workflow so they can use it without pulling in the full unit
- Integrate the AI Video Production Unit into the wider creative organization, with clean handoffs to the video editors team and the Lead Producer so both tracks reinforce each other instead of duplicating work
Requirements
- Strong design background alongside video production and AI prompting skills.
- Can build automated content-production workflows using AI agents, APIs or workflow tools.
