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.
