Egocentric Video Contributor

01 — PROJECT

About the project

You will use a smartphone mounted on your head to record activities from your own point of view. While performing the activity, you will describe what you are doing out loud in Portuguese.

Activities can include things you already do in your daily life, hobbies, practical skills, or professional tasks — for example cooking, drawing, gardening, assembling furniture, repairing a bicycle, crafting, using equipment, or performing specialized procedures.

You do not need to be a content creator or know how to edit videos. We want natural, unedited recordings of real activities.

01 — WHAT YOU'LL DO

What will you do?

• Record activities from a first-person perspective using a smartphone mounted on a head strap.
• Perform real activities naturally from start to finish.
• Describe what you are doing out loud in Portuguese or English while you work.
• Keep your hands, tools, and relevant objects visible.
• Upload your recordings after each session.
• Follow simple recording, privacy, and quality guidelines.

Videos should be horizontal, clear, well lit, and unedited. Recording identifiable third parties, children, personal documents, or sensitive information is not allowed.

02 — SELECTION PROCESS

Selection process

1. Application

Complete the short form below. It should only take a few minutes.

2. Video test

If eligible, you will be asked to submit a short test recording following the same instructions used in the project.

The main test is a 3-minute first-person video in which you perform an activity while narrating what you are doing in Portuguese.

You may also be asked to submit a short 60-second scene-description video.

The video test is the main selection criterion.

3. Identity verification and onboarding

Approved contributors complete identity verification and the required consent forms before starting paid work.

4. Start recording

New contributors begin with a short trial period in which recordings receive additional quality review before moving into regular production.

03 — COMPENSATION

Compensation

This is paid, task-based work.

Payment is based on footage that meets the project's recording and quality requirements. Full compensation details are communicated before you begin recording.
