AI Artist freelance to permanent role

About Us 

Industrial Color is a leader in creative production, partnering with major global brands to deliver exceptional visual content. We combine world-class production expertise with cutting-edge AI image and video generation technologies to create work that meets the highest commercial standards. As the role of AI expands within the industry, we are growing our team with experienced artists who can deliver professional-level work across demanding client campaigns. 

Job Description 

We are seeking Mid to Senior AI Image & Video Artists for a freelance-to-hire position. Photorealism is of primary importance for this role. Candidates must be able to produce refined, believable, production-ready imagery and video. 

While photorealism is critical, candidates should also have the ability to shift into other visual styles when projects call for it; conceptual, stylized, graphic, illustrative. 

This role requires hands-on experience working in production or post-production environments and the ability to deliver under real client timelines. For video-specific candidates, strong storytelling, narrative instincts, and experience creating advertising and social media video content are essential. Experience directing or creatively leading AI-driven campaigns is a major plus. 

This role is ideal for artists who have delivered or can clearly demonstrate the ability to deliver client-ready, photorealistic AI content. We value candidates with strong visual taste, technical mastery, narrative ability (for video), and a commitment to elevating AI outputs with professional finishing. 

We welcome applicants with a mix of commercial experience and high-quality personal work. What matters most is your ability to produce polished, production-ready results that meet top-tier brand standards. 

Freelancers who excel will be considered for a full-time position. 

Responsibilities 

• Generate high-quality, photorealistic AI images and videos that meet commercial production standards. 
• Produce additional styles (conceptual, stylized, illustrative, etc.) as needed by the brief. 
• Translate creative direction into polished visual concepts and deliverables. For video: craft strong visual storytelling, narrative structure, pacing, and camera-driven sequences suitable for advertising and social-first formats. 
• Apply post-production polish (retouching, compositing, cleanup, enhancement, color work, motion finishing) to elevate AI outputs to full delivery standards. 
• Manage iterative generation pipelines efficiently and respond quickly to feedback. 
• Stay current on emerging AI tools and techniques in both image and video generation.
