YOUR TYPICAL WORK DAY:

A client has requested a new motion campaign to run across streaming platforms. You join a brainstorm meeting with a copywriter and art director where you figure out an animation approach for the graphic-focused spot that can be executed quickly to meet the client's timeline. After a few hours of experimenting you gather the team again to review various samples. A final direction is chosen, and you spend the afternoon on a rough first pass of the spot. The day wraps with a briefing on an upcoming pitch in which digital Times Square billboards will be comped. You set up an overnight render before logging out for the day

HOW DO YOU DEFINE SUCCESS?

The ideal Motion Graphics Artist will create distinct movement for every campaign. They will enjoy experimenting and keeping a finger on the pulse of motion trends across the entertainment industry. Resourcefulness will pay off; discovering simple ways to create dynamic effects will lead to a steady flow of exciting work getting out the door.
