About Industrial Color
Industrial Color is a leading creative production company helping global brands create world-class visual content. We combine traditional production expertise with cutting-edge AI image and video technologies to deliver commercially viable creative work at scale.
As AI continues to reshape the creative industry, we are expanding our team with experienced artists and filmmakers who can help define the future of commercial content creation while delivering work at the level expected by the world's leading brands across beauty and cosmetics, automotive, food and beverage, consumer electronics, retail, fashion, and other major industries.
The Role
We're building a next-generation AI creative team and are looking for experienced artists, filmmakers, and visual storytellers who can create client-ready AI-generated imagery and video.
The ideal candidate has a background in commercial production, filmmaking, VFX, animation, motion design, editing, or post-production and understands how to apply those skills within modern AI workflows.
Responsibilities
  • Create high-quality AI-generated images and videos for commercial projects
  • Translate creative briefs into compelling visual concepts and finished deliverables
  • Develop strong visual storytelling through composition, cinematography, editing, pacing, and shot design
  • Generate, direct, and refine content using leading AI image and video tools
  • Enhance outputs through compositing, retouching, color grading, VFX, and finishing workflows
  • Collaborate with creative directors, producers, designers, and editors
  • Help develop new AI production workflows and creative best practices
  • Stay current with emerging AI tools and technologies

  • Strong portfolio demonstrating both traditional creative craft and AI-generated work
  • Experience with tools such as Veo, Kling, Seedance, Runway, Luma, Midjourney, Flux, and ComfyUI
  • Strong understanding of visual storytelling, cinematography, composition, editing, and color
  • Proficiency with tools such as After Effects, Nuke, Resolve, Premiere, Maya, Cinema 4D, Houdini, or similar
  • Ability to take projects from concept through final delivery

Who Should Apply
We're looking for artists who can deliver polished, production-ready AI content at a professional commercial standard. Whether your background is film, VFX, animation, post-production, or AI-native creation, what matters most is your ability to create exceptional work for brands, agencies, and creative teams.
Exceptional freelancers may be considered for full-time opportunities as our AI team continues to grow.
Benefits
The anticipated rate for this role is $500-$800 per day. Ranges are based on various factors including the labor market, job type, internal equity, and budget. Exact offers are calibrated by work location, individual candidate experience, and skills relative to the defined job requirements.
This is a hybrid role requiring flexibility to work in-office and remotely. Evening or weekend work may occasionally be required during major projects.
