What the work involves

This is a data-collection quest rather than a text-annotation one. You are given a brief — a scene, an object, a gesture, a set of camera angles, sometimes a short scripted action — and you record it on your own smartphone, then upload the clips through micro1's task interface. A typical batch asks for many short takes rather than one long video: the same action at three distances, the same object under daylight and lamplight, the same gesture with the phone held vertically and horizontally. Reviewers check each clip against the brief and reject anything that drifts from it, so the yield you get paid for depends heavily on how literally you read the spec.

The listing is published in Portuguese, which in practice means briefs, rejection notes and support threads arrive in Portuguese. The category tag on this listing reads "coding," which appears to be a platform-side misfile — nothing in the role as posted asks you to write software. Treat it as a media-capture task and confirm scope with the recruiter during screening if that matters to you.

What the platform screens for

micro1's screening is AI-led and mostly interested in verifiable, checkable facts: what phone you own and what it can actually record, whether you can film in the environments a brief might call for, whether you have people who will consent to appear on camera when a brief requires them, and whether you can turn a batch around inside a deadline. Expect follow-ups that get concrete fast — model name, resolution, available storage, upload bandwidth. Expect at least one scenario question where a brief is ambiguous or impossible to follow exactly, testing whether you flag it or improvise silently. Improvising silently is the usual reason a batch gets rejected wholesale.

Logistics

  • Fully remote and asynchronous; you film on your own schedule inside the batch deadline.
  • Work arrives in batches, not as a steady weekly load — availability is bursty and there may be gaps between projects.
  • Observed pay is around $6/hr; on some collection projects payment is structured per accepted clip or per completed batch instead of hourly, so ask how this one is counted.
  • You supply the phone, the storage, the internet connection and, usually, the props and locations.
  • Signed likeness and content releases are standard for anyone appearing in frame, including you.
