Sample Job Positing

I found this posted on Creative Heads today. This is a sample of where there are going to be jobs for those of you who graduate. I am convinced that as iPad and similar devices continue to roll out, there is opportunity for new animators with drawing skills to flourish. (i.e. to find employment.) I'm not saying apply to this job, but look at what they're looking for and tailor your portfolio accordingly. You should all be paying attention to your portfolio as you create your film.

I don't know this studio but I think there's going to be more "motion comics" created.

color and animated sequences. The director wants something that has both a traditional color feel along with some digital elements as well. The drawings themselves are already completed, there's no new art being made, just manipulation of finished drawings. This is a great opportunity for students looking for industry experience or recent graduates who are looking for a strong portfolio piece while making some money on the side.

THIS PROBABLY MEANS THEY ARE CHEAP BUT THERE MAY BE SOME AUTONOMY.

REQUIREMENTS:
We are seeking a hybrid animator/colorist who is versed in both traditional and digital coloring and has 1-2yrs. AfterEffects experience.
