Lighthouse Studios seeks experienced Toon Boom Harmony Polish Retakes Animators for Rick and Morty and a top-secret 16+ series (May 2025-Sept/Oct 2025). Responsibilities include addressing retake notes based on the animation director's guidance, ensuring high-quality and timely delivery, following production deadlines, communicating progress, and potentially animating shots from scratch. The ideal candidate possesses 3+ years of professional studio experience, strong Toon Boom Harmony skills, a solid understanding of 2D animation principles, excellent time management, and attention to detail.
