2D Character Animator

We have a number of projects that require highly skilled animators.

We are a hip & fairly cool animation studio based in a newly refurbished mill in Chester. We say ‘fairly’ because we don’t have a pool table or vending machine. But we are working on that. Working with us are some of the best talents around. We would say that. But it’s true. We have awards and great big clients, so we are definitely doing something right.

That’s where you come in. You’re still reading this and you’re getting excited at the thought of working with us. You want to make your mark on your next big project and be a player and a contributor to the team.

You’re probably wondering what qualities you need to coexist here…

Have a top showreel and a portfolio you are truly proud to show
Be brilliant in AfterEffects, Illustrator, MediaEncoder and Photoshop
Love animations such as Dumb Ways to Die
Know shortcuts and tips and tricks on how to get the most out of your time
Be innovative and want to push yourself and your team
Not be afraid to shout up if somethings going wrong
Be able to work to multiple deadlines and juggle multiple projects simultaneously
Stay on trend with movements, keeping your ear to the ground, be inspired
Show understanding of anatomy, perspective and composition, strong drawing skills an asset.
Demonstrate knowledge of timing, posing, acting and storytelling techniques
And well versed in the principles of animation
Still interested? If you have at least 2 or more years of animation experience with a strong showreel then we’d love to hear from you.

So you’ve read the whole project description… As you can imagine we accept literally 100’s of applications every week. Don’t just apply for this project without sending us a direct link to your Showreel and writing a short message as to why you’d like to work with us. Without both we will just reject your application.

P.s We mean it when we say we want people who are great at character animation!
