Apply to this Motion Graphics Job

We're looking for a motion graphics artist with advanced experience in After Effects, Cinema 4D and Photoshop/Illustrator.

Our agency makes TV commercials, promos and trailers for major motion pictures. We need a freelance artist who is currently working but has availability in their day to jump on graphics requests as they come up. 95% of the work will be between the hours of 8AM PST and 6PM PST.

It's not too demanding but requires someone who is detail-oriented, has a positive attitude and enjoys their work. Again, we work on tight deadlines so work would have to be fulfilled the same day we request it. Lower thirds, interstitials, toppers and end cards make up the majority of the graphics needed. There is some creativity involved but also just kicking out requested cards for our clients.

We have an hourly rate starting out but we often bill a flat project rate too which can be higher, depending on how things go.

As a Junior Motion Designer, you will work closely with our design and animation team to create compelling visual content that resonates with our clients' target audiences. From concept development to final execution, you will have the opportunity to contribute to projects across all forms of media.


Key Skills and Experience:

- Proficiency in Adobe Creative Suite, particularly After Effects, Photoshop, and Illustrator
- Strong understanding of motion graphics principles and animation techniques
- Knowledge of design fundamentals, including typography, composition, and color
- Ability to work efficiently under tight deadlines while maintaining high-quality standards
- Excellent communication and collaboration skills
- Familiarity with 3D software such as Cinema 4D or Maya is a plus


Responsibilities

- Collaborate with Art, Creative, and Post-Production teams to conceptualize and execute motion graphics
- Create engaging animations and visual effects that enhance storytelling and brand identity
- Incorporate client feedback and revisions into design iterations
- Stay up-to-date with industry trends and best practices in motion design and animation
- Assist with asset organization and project file management

We're looking for someone who can animate poppy, fun graphics with/over documentary footage that appeals to a pre-teen audience for a branded content - digital series and accompanying social media bites. Interested in a layered, collage-style, but open to creative ideas. Someone who can apply final finishing/color/audio mix overall is a plus. Premiere experience required. Illustrator experience a plus.

- Collaborate closely with the director, visual effects team, and post-production crew to conceptualize and produce dynamic motion graphics sequences that enrich the film's narrative and visual impact.
- Design and animate motion graphics elements, including titles, credits, visual effects overlays, and interface graphics, aligning them with the film's tone, themes, and aesthetic.
- Utilize industry-standard software such as Adobe After Effects, Premiere Pro, and Cinema 4D to create polished and compelling motion graphics sequences with a keen eye for detail and storytelling.
- Iterate on motion graphics based on feedback from the director and production team, ensuring alignment with the overall creative vision and enhancing the cinematic experience.
