What makes this opportunity interesting?

• 🎭 Pioneer high-output Gen AI workflow creating 50+ B-roll images per project that convert to viral sketch comedy videos

About the Company

We're a California-based content studio that makes HBO-level comedy for brands—lean, fast and brutally funny. Our mission: brighten people's feeds with honest, laugh-out-loud content while capturing outsized brand love. We keep jokes sharp by staying small, leveraging AI, and refusing to water ideas down.

We offer two core services: producing viral video content for brands to post themselves, or full "own-the-channel" service—writing, shooting, editing, posting and community-managing daily organic social content. We push comedic boundaries with a PG-13 to R-rated approach while maintaining brand safety.

Our clients range from scrappy startups to boutique agencies who subcontract us when they can't find anyone else this bold. We work with companies like Mattel, HotWheels, WarnerMedia, and HBO—brands hungry for relevance who want comedians to make a genuine impact rather than watered-down corporate messaging.

We've mastered blending art, commerce, and cutting-edge AI without compromising comedy. Our portfolio has generated over 500 million organic views, and we've grown from zero to nearly $1M revenue in one quarter through our unique approach to branded comedy.

OUR COMPANY VALUES

• 🏆

  Competitive Greatness

• 🗣️

  Sincere Candor

• 😂

  Serious about Silliness

We're a hybrid organization with 4 core teammates, comprising our Founder/Executive Creative Director, Head of Virtual Production, Video Editor, and Content Research & Strategy Associate. We're headquartered in Pasadena, California, and expand during production shoots with our rotating network of freelance crew members. For shoots, we gather in-person at our Founder's home studio, with all other work conducted remotely. Our remote offshore team is in Colombia and Indonesia (so far 👋🏾).

Our culture combines relentless optimism with obsessive attention to comedy craft. We dissect jokes, punch up scripts, and hunt for perfect sound effects. As Jerry Seinfeld says, while most want to know the time, comedians "want to know how the watch works." This deep curiosity defines us—what others find tedious, we find energizing.

About the Role

remote Gen AI Video Creator

In this role, you'll work directly with our Founder/Executive Creative Director to systematize Mr. Beast's "Purple Cow" methodology while navigating the standard Gen AI challenges of consistency, realism, and new processes. You'll translate dialogue lines into approximately 50 B-roll images per project, imagining shots as if a camera team captured this footage themselves. The key challenge is finding our comedic sweet spot between plausible and barely plausible while understanding where outputs live within comedic variables—this task takes considerable time to get right.

This is a brand-new category merging filmed performances with AI-generated "heightened B-roll," and you'll be pioneering workflows that could reshape branded content creation. You'll navigate tool-specific limitations—like Higgsfield excelling at fashion but requiring workarounds for plausible fictional events—while documenting processes that become our scalable playbook across all clients.

Our IDEAL CANDIDATE

Your performance will be measured by hook quality (>80% 3-second retention), plausibility scores on naturally captured shots, efficiency in reducing 20:1 footage ratios toward 5:1, and documentation quality for scalable workflows.

You'll collaborate with our full team, and work most closely with our Founder/Executive Creative Director. This position reports directly to our Founder.

You’ll be doing things like:

• Creative Planning:

  Understand comedic premise and "Purple Cow" hook strategy for shots that make people stop scrolling; absorb narrative worlds including settings, characters, and tensions; brainstorm funny yet plausible visuals for each comedic beat; prioritize grounded moments before moving to heightened gags.

• Gen AI Image Generation:

  Use Higgsfield to generate large volumes of candidate images for each sketch beat; write JSON prompts for precise composition control; ensure shots look like real people could have captured them; work image-first before moving to video.

• Quality Control:

  Iterate rapidly to fix prompt failures; perform light image editing and manual tweaks; lock in recurring visual elements early; maintain 20:1 shooting ratio with 20-30 assets per week per client.

• Gen AI Video Production:

  Convert approved images into videos using AI tools; match final shots to specific joke moments; ensure every shot feels captured during the same real-life event.

• Asset Management:

  Label and organize assets for editorial team; document what works and what doesn't on different tools; maintain prompt libraries; save reference images for future projects.

• Team Coordination:

  Submit images with context for review; incorporate creative feedback quickly; communicate insights and blockers clearly; suggest AI tool and workflow improvements to reduce 20:1 ratio toward 5:1.

Skills & Qualifications

• 3-5 years of prior experience in a mix of roles like Gen AI Video Creator, Virtual Gen AI Film Director/Cinematographer, Cinematographer, Film Producer, Director, Photographer, or Film Production (vs post-production)
• Film fundamentals including lighting, blocking, props, lens choice, camera formats, sensor size, field of view
• High competency in AI image tools (Higgsfield preferred, Midjourney, Google Veo3, Runway, Sora) and prompt engineering
• JSON prompt engineering and ability to "direct" virtual AI camera operators
• Eye for plausibility—shots must feel authentically captured during fictional "real" events
• Strong comedic sensibility and understanding of timing, visual irony, and "what makes this image funny"
• Understanding of comedic arc and where specific outputs live within comedic variables
• Purple Cow obsession—every idea must answer "Why will people talk about this?"
• Comfortable with R-rated humor and edgy creative boundaries (if "Liquid Death" makes you grin, we're good)
• Ability to think like cinematographer and social media strategist simultaneously
• Ability to use internal documentation and intuition to navigate evolving processes
• Strong self-management using timers, feed blockers, and checklists for consistent output
• Over-communicator who thrives in fast, high-volume environments under pressure
• Zero tolerance for sloppy documentation or missed quotas

Bonus if you also have:

• Deep familiarity with US comedy and internet culture
• Experience with Photoshop for light image manipulation
• Deeper JSON-style prompts experience for maximum control over composition
• Background in comedy production or creator collaborations
• Familiarity with our tools: Higgsfield, ChatGPT/Claude, Descript, Google Workspace, Slack, Google Slides, Veo 3, Perplexity, Adobe Premiere Pro, Dropbox, Frame.io, Loom, Toggle
