About the role
This role offers a unique opportunity to lead the creative and production direction for a proof-of-concept pitch deck for a 3D-animated streaming series set in a richly imagined steampunk world. You will collaborate closely with a small, independent writing team to bring original IP and characters from early development through to polished, presentation-ready deliverables. The position requires a visionary approach to world-building, character design, and storytelling, as well as the ability to manage production workflows and deliver high-quality materials within indie project constraints. Creative autonomy and sensitivity to the project's themes are essential, with the potential for ongoing collaboration if the initial project is successful.
Deliverables
Develop and refine the visual direction and style guide for the series, ensuring a cohesive steampunk aesthetic. Oversee the creation of character designs, environment concepts, and key art for the pitch deck. Manage the animation production pipeline, coordinating with artists and technical collaborators as needed. Produce polished presentation materials, including animatics or short animated sequences, to support the pitch. Collaborate with the writing team to ensure narrative and visual alignment throughout the project. Deliver all assets on schedule and within the agreed budget parameters.
Requirements
Proven experience as an animation director or producer, ideally with 3D-animated series or films. Strong portfolio demonstrating world-building, character design, and visual storytelling in animation. Expertise in animation production workflows, including pre-production, asset creation, and post-production. Proficiency with industry-standard 3D animation software (e.g., Blender, Maya, Cinema 4D) and presentation tools. Creative vision and ability to translate narrative concepts into compelling visual experiences. Excellent communication, project management, and leadership skills. Experience working with independent or small teams and sensitivity to budget limitations. Passion for steampunk aesthetics and innovative storytelling. Availability for project-based, remote collaboration.
