Sound Designer – SFX to Picture (Remote)

Join a project focused on crafting high-quality sound effects for short video clips, contributing to an AI training dataset. You will receive short video segments, typically one to two minutes in length, and your primary responsibility will be to remove the original audio and design a new soundscape that accurately matches the on-screen action. This includes creating sound effects, ambience, and foley using either commercially licensed sound libraries or your own recorded material. Only sounds corresponding to visible actions are required—no music or speech. Each completed clip must be delivered as separate sound stems for each source, accompanied by simple timestamped notes indicating when each sound occurs. Comprehensive guidance and a worked example will be provided to ensure clarity on expectations before you begin. The initial phase involves delivering 10 finished hours of audio, with the potential for a larger ongoing collaboration based on performance.

Deliverables

Design and produce sound effects, ambience, and foley for short video clips, ensuring all audio matches visible on-screen actions. Deliver each clip as a set of separate sound stems, one per source. Provide timestamped notes for each sound event within the clip. Adhere to defined delivery formats and project guidelines. Maintain consistent, reliable output across a high volume of short clips.

Requirements

Demonstrated experience in sound design or foley, preferably with experience working to picture. Access to commercially licensed sound libraries or a collection of self-recorded sounds. Ability to follow detailed delivery specifications and formats. Strong attention to detail and ability to match audio precisely to visual cues. Reliable and consistent work ethic, capable of handling a high volume of deliverables. Portfolio or examples of previous sound design work to picture.
