Job description

Job description. We're looking for someone with both technical expertise and strong creative instincts to support look development on early-stage animated projects. You should be comfortable taking concept art or reference images and translating them into production-ready assets, while also iterating on style and quality using your own design sensibilities and feedback from the creative team.

We’re specifically seeking artists proficient in Blender and/or Houdini, with flexibility around the rendering pipeline. This will initially be an ad-hoc, freelance position. Rate negotiable, based on experience.

This role would entail:

1. Generating conceptual renderings based on creative briefs.
2. Creating artist-ready assets for wider production use.

The kind of artists that we’re looking for:

• Where others add geometry, you add a shader - you’re able to think like an artist whilst having a strong technical foundation.
• An iteration maestro - the patience of a saint… sometimes the brushstrokes are just, a pixel too thin. Or too fat? Or maybe they were actually right to begin with..? Either way, you’re happy in the process of refinement.
• Self-motivated and independent whilst also being able to work as part of a team - with, of course, a near psychic ability to interpret producer/director notes.

Role Requirements:

• Great communication and time management skills.
• Experience of working within a creative team, to briefs and deadlines.
• Eligible to work for a UK company.
• Understanding of stylised 3D rendering and principles of environment design is key.

Although this job will be primarily remote working, we do hold a premises in Bloomsbury making in-person collaboration possible.

This will initially be an ad-hoc, freelance position. Rate negotiable, based on experience.

Experience: Not required

Employment: Part-time

Schedule: Freelance

Salary: £18.75 – £50 hourly
