Role Summary
The team is looking for a creative, highly motivated motion designer with strong typography sensibilities to join on a freelance basis. The role reports to the Creative Director and involves producing 2D and, where relevant, 3D motion content for television, web, mobile, and other media.

- Cut and edit source footage as needed for motion projects.
- Investigate approaches and evaluate design methods to produce distinctive 2D motion work.
- Support the creation of storyboards and style frames.
- Keep project files and graphic assets organized and up to date.
- Use consistent versioning and file-naming practices.

- Move smoothly across multiple assignments when priorities change.
Required Qualifications
- Strong grasp of motion principles and composition.
- Hands-on strength in 2D animation using After Effects.
- Advanced working knowledge of After Effects and related 2D production workflows.
- Experience with Cinema 4D is beneficial, though not mandatory.
- Knowledge of 3DS Max is a bonus, but not required.
- Exposure to Houdini is helpful, but optional.
- Genuine interest in visual storytelling and continuous skill development.

Candidates without a portfolio or reel will not be reviewed. The team also asks for the earliest date the applicant can start. Immediate availability is preferred.
Employment Preferences
The studio accepts permanent full-time, freelance, contract, and internship interest through the application form, but the opening described here is for a full-time onsite position in New York, NY.
Additional Information
