Contra: Motion Artist / Animator

$75 - $150 per hour

Breakout Tools

AI labs and AI product companies have been approaching Contra to test out their latest capabilities with our best creative experts. This is important because these products and models cannot improve with generalized feedback data alone, they need expert opinions and preferences to get to the next level.

This is unlocking a new and fun way to earn on Contra for our best users. These projects typically pay $75-$150 per hour and allow you to become an expert at evaluating the latest AI tools and influence the tools we will all use in the future. We are rolling out access to these types of jobs and a special “tastemaker” badge to a select group of users on Contra. If you’re interested in being part of this early cohort, we have a test project today to try a simplified version of this, starting today.

Apply to this job to be a part of the early cohort by completing a test project with a simplified version of the Creative Arena.

This initial project will include completing “tournaments” in Contra’s “creative arena” to choose your favorite outputs from top AI models.

Scope

Use your skills to help improve the tools you will use tomorrow. We are looking for a Motion Artist / Animator to help join our network of AI experts and tutors. Typical projects last from 1 week to multiple months and involve giving feedback using your unique creative perspective on outputs and workflows from the latest AI labs and applications.

About you

You’re an expert in your craft and love pushing the boundaries of what’s possible. You’re always experimenting with new tools and evolving your workflow to match emerging styles, technologies, and trends.
