Task · POV-2026-0418 Egocentric capture

First-person kitchen prep, 30-minute continuous

About this task

We're collecting continuous, first-person video of meal preparation in a home kitchen, end to end — from ingredient retrieval through plating. Single-take footage only; no edits, no fast-forward.

This task feeds a household-action pretraining set. Diversity in kitchens, dishes, and contributors is the point. There is no required cuisine.

Standard operating procedure

Read the SOP document end to end before recording. Failing to follow the SOP is the most common reason for rejection.

What to capture

Each clip must include footage matching all four reference frames below. Frames out of order are acceptable.

01 · Knife reach
02 · Cutting motion
03 · Pan handover
04 · Plating

Requirements

Resolution Minimum 1920×1080 at 30fps. 4K accepted, not required.
Mount Chest or head mount. No handheld; no static tripod.
Duration Continuous 25–35 minutes per clip. Cuts disqualify the clip.
Lighting Daylight or warm interior. Avoid backlit kitchen windows.
Audio Ambient only. No commentary, no music.

Compensation

Each approved clip pays an upfront fee on settlement. If this task is non-exclusive, all contributors share an ongoing royalty pool — 80% of future Market license revenue splits proportionally across everyone who recorded clips for this task.
