As part of the mighty animation & motion graphics department, you’ll create animations for a wide variety of projects, producing work for incredible, worldwide number one brands. A big chunk of the job is hands-on animating, helping scope simple projects and animation tasks, creating assets for pitches, concepting, art directing, and mentoring junior animators. The job’s a mix of original work and creating equally awesome adaptations from existing styles and assets.
Requirements
- For this position, we are looking for a versatile animation artist with 3+ years of experience in the animation/motion graphics field.
- Setting creative and technical standards to determine the best tools and techniques to use is essential.
- Have impeccable interpersonal skills.
- Having the highest skill quality out there and helping others get to the same level or to surpass it!
- Take matters into your own hands when needed, but always look at your project’s bigger picture- keeping the north star in mind.
- Working together with animation directors, creative directors and art directors to bring your combined creative vision to life.
- You know the ins and outs of animation - from concept to creation and beyond.
- You can produce drop-dead gorgeous animations, illustrations and designs, even under skinny jeans-tight deadlines.
- Your first-rate skills with After Effects, Illustrator, and Photoshop are second to none. Cinema 4D, and Harmony/Flash would be nice-to-haves in your creative toolkit.
- You know how to get the principal details right, or break’em for artistic effect.
- Next to the language of motion, you can make yourself clear in English too. Other languages are a plus!
- However, the job’s not only about technical artistry. To excel in this role, you have to be a team player skilled in communicating problems and progress, as well as being practiced in working together with juniors and seniors alike. Staying open minded and solution oriented is key!
- Proactiveness to spot issues and roll your sleeves to solving them, either if they’re technical or human, is an important part of this constructive role.
