Job description

Project Overview

We seek a talented animator to contribute to a distinct short animated film set in 1926. This project explores themes of memory, thankfulness, and loss, focusing on the post-war period in Britain and the appreciation conveyed by Polish children. The story uses archival materials, symbolic elements, and watercolor-inspired visuals. The script and initial artwork are finalized, providing a clear artistic direction. The animator's role is pivotal in animating archival content and characters to create an emotionally engaging and historically faithful narrative.

Key Responsibilities

  • Bring archival pages to life through animation and integrate them fluidly into the storyline.
  • Design and animate watercolor-style backgrounds that evoke the 1926 era.
  • Craft expressive character animations to effectively portray emotions and narrative developments.
  • Collaborate in the visual storytelling process to reinforce the movie's thematic depth.
  • Handle postproduction tasks, including compositing and editing for a polished final product.
  • Deliver a short animated film ready for distribution.

Requirements

  • Proven expertise in 2D animation, specifically with watercolor or painterly aesthetics.
  • A strong portfolio showcasing both narrative animation and character design skills.
  • Mastery of animation tools like Toon Boom, TVPaint, or Adobe After Effects.
  • Capability to interpret archival and hand-drawn materials into compelling animated content.
  • Effective communication and ability to collaborate remotely.
  • Meticulous attention to detail with a dedication to historical authenticity.
  • Experience in postproduction including compositing and final editing work.
  • Self-motivation to work independently and adhere to deadlines.
