This is a freelance contract for 20 hrs a week to work alongside our US Producer, and take handovers from the UK team each day.

Translate creative ideas and briefs into eye-catching, compelling visual executions. Collaborate with copywriters, producers, motion designers, editors and account teams. Keep up-to-date on design, motion, and social trends, and bring fresh thinking into the studio. What You Bring Strong experience in After Effects. Working knowledge of Premiere Pro and Photoshop. A curiosity of 3D & VFX, as well as an enthusiasm to learn. Solid animation fundamentals: timing, easing, rhythm, flow. An understanding of thumb-stopping, attention-grabbing content on social media. If you’re a designer who loves bringing ideas to life… …and you’re excited by storytelling, film culture and scroll-stopping visuals, we’d love to see your reel/portfolio.
