2D Animator – Anime Short Film

2 days ago Be among the first 25 applicants

This role is an opportunity for a skilled 2D animator to collaborate on an animated short film that explores the interplay of serenity and psychological unease. The project centers on a looping narrative that begins in shadow, illuminated by a single shooting star—a fleeting symbol of hope. The visual style is minimal, contemplative, and immersive, with a cinematic approach inspired by anime. The pacing is intentionally slow, inviting viewers into a meditative experience that transitions from wide, tranquil shots to intimate close-ups, and then back again. The tone evolves from introspective calm to awe, ultimately leaving the audience with a sense of melancholy that transforms into wonder. This is a remote, project-based opportunity with the potential for future collaboration.

Responsibilities

• Animate a short film in a minimal, anime-inspired style, focusing on expressive and cinematic visuals
• Collaborate closely with the director to interpret and realize the creative vision, ensuring the narrative’s emotional arc is effectively conveyed
• Design and execute camera movements that transition from wide meditative shots to intimate close-ups, capturing both emotional distance and closeness
• Balance tranquil and psychologically tense moments through pacing, composition, and visual storytelling
• Deliver high-quality animation assets suitable for a contemplative, immersive viewing experience
• Communicate progress regularly and incorporate feedback throughout the production process
