Who We're Looking For

You are an experienced 2D & 3D Motion Designer who excels in bringing illustrated characters and environments to life through sophisticated animation techniques. With a keen eye for design and mastery of motion dynamics, you will lead the transformation of conceptual art into engaging illustrated animations, focusing on high-quality 2D and 3D motion graphics. Your role is crucial in guiding our visual designers, ensuring that their static illustrations are animated and optimized for maximum impact.

As a seasoned expert with a robust background in graphic and motion design, you will not only execute animations but also provide strategic art direction across various projects.

Proficiency with industry-standard animation tools like After Effects is essential, and your standout skill will be creating exceptional illustrated animations that captivate and engage audiences.

What You'll Do

• Lead designing and translating static illustrations into compelling animations, focusing on high-quality illustrated motion graphics.Refer to the first 15 seconds of [this animation] and the content following the 11-second mark in [this animation] for examples of the style and complexity required
• Develop character designs similar to the references provided (sample 1, sample 2)
• Bring sound and music into your animations in a way that boosts their impact, all while working independently and with minimal direction
• Provide expert art direction for creative video and animation briefs, aligning with the latest industry trends and exceeding client expectations
• Create new illustrated elements that push the boundaries of digital animation
• Utilize advanced skills in animation software to deliver cutting-edge visual content
• Oversee and contribute to major client projects, ensuring all motion design work is strategic, technically sound, and visually appealing
• Work with UI elements as needed to integrate smoothly into team projects
• Explore opportunities to partner with developers on select projects (such as this project or this project)—this is a plus but not a requirement.
