2D Animator
Junior-Lead
We’re looking for awesome 2D Animators to join our team for our exciting new project, Maddie + Triggs. This audio-first series is founded on the principle that ‘If two kids, one sighted and one vision impaired, sit down side by side to ‘watch’ the show, neither will have a lesser experience’. We’re looking to fill several roles from junior to lead levels. Having worked in children’s animation series production is essential for those applying for lead roles.
You have likely grown up immersed in animation, instinctively analysing movement and developing all of the traits that make for a great animator. And you probably don’t need us to tell you that for most in this amazing industry, animation is a way of life.
- Animate assigned number of shots as per quota per week, comprising multiple passes and approval by your lead.
- Follow instructions of the Director to meet creative standards and production deadlines.
- Address any problems with the production team.
- Communicate progress of work to the Production Co-ordinator.
- Ensure quality and style of show is consistently achieved in animation work and that all notes/retakes are added.
- Follow file naming and storage procedures according to the production’s guidelines
- Attendance is required at meetings when requested by the Production Co-ordinator and Production Manager.
- Experience in rigged animation using Adobe Animate (for senior roles, series experience is essential).
- Strong understanding of traditional 2D animation principles.
- Strong effects animation experience is a bonus.
- Excellent written and verbal communication skills.
- Excellent time management skills and the ability to prioritise work.
- Attention to detail and problem-solving skills.
- Understanding of the 2D animation pipeline.
