Summary

We are an early-stage AI initiative building a curated network of audiovisual industry professionals (cinematographers, editors, colorists, VFX artists, sound designers, directors, motion designers) for our upcoming Generative AI Video evaluation platform. We need a highly detail-oriented researcher to map professional profiles from Vimeo, Behance, LinkedIn, and IMDb into a structured database. This is strictly a research and data entry role. No outreach, no sales, no contacting candidates. Your Tasks: - Search audiovisual professionals on Vimeo, Behance, LinkedIn, and IMDb. - Verify portfolio quality (must have visible work updated in the last 12 months). - Extract structured data into our Google Sheet template. - Categorize each profile by professional role, seniority, and country , adding Linkedin or webpage. - Find verified contact emails using your B2B tools. Target Professional Categories: - Cinematographers / Directors of Photography - Editors (with narrative experience — film, documentary, series) - Colorists - VFX Artists / VFX Supervisors - Directors - Sound Designers / Post-sound Specialists - Motion Designers / Animators Quality Criteria (Mandatory for every profile): If a profile doesn't meet at least 3 of these 4 criteria, do not include it: - Visible portfolio with at least 3 completed projects (Vimeo/Behance preferred). - Activity in the last 12 months. - Verifiable credentials (production credits, education, recognized work, linkedin or webpage). - Contact email verified with a B2B tool. Strict Requirements: - Obsessive attention to detail. - Ability to evaluate portfolio quality and understand the difference between a professional cinematographer/editor and a generic videomaker. YOU MUST HAVE YOUR OWN PREMIUM ACCOUNTS for email verification tools (Apollo, Hunter, Lusha, etc.). We will NOT provide logins or reimburse subscription costs. To Apply (MANDATORY FILTER): Please start your proposal with the word AURUM-TALENT. You MUST answer these two questions in your application: - Exactly what tool do you use to find and verify B2B email addresses? - Link the Vimeo profile of 1 cinematographer from Argentina and 1 from Mexico who updated their reel in 2025 or 2026. Do NOT use famous Hollywood names like Lubezki or Prieto. Project Structure & Milestones (Fixed Price - Pay for Performance): This project is structured in progressive milestones. Each milestone unlocks the next based on quality delivery. - M0 (Paid Test): USD 8 for 25 curated profiles in 24 hours. Used to validate alignment before the full project. - M1 (LatAm Tier 1): USD 45 for 500 profiles from Argentina, Mexico, Colombia, Brazil, and Chile. - M2 (LatAm Tier 2 + Europe Selective): USD 55 for 700 profiles from Spain, Peru, Uruguay, Poland, Czech Republic, Hungary, and Serbia. - M3 (Asia Selective): USD 40 for 400 profiles from India, South Korea, Thailand, Philippines, and Romania. - M4 (Premium Tier — Senior Profiles Only): USD 65 for 350 senior profiles from United States, Canada, United Kingdom, Australia, and Western Europe selective (France, Germany, Netherlands).
