Animator
open
Paid: Flat Rate 10 USD

We are going at a rate of $10 per minute of finished work of animation with color. For example, an episode would be about 10 minutes in length. If one animator were to animate all 10 minutes (which is unrealistic) they would get 100 bucks for it. 

At the end of each episode's production, we will tally up your total time of animation and pay you based on that quota. We would like a large animation team to split the workload as fairly as possible, so please don't be afraid to apply. Each animator will be paid relative to how much time of the episode their work is. The animation department will be based on an honor system where what you put into it is what you get out of it. 


Requirements for joining the team as an animator are ~

- Basic knowledge of human anatomy

- Must be okay doing collaborative work 

- Comfortable with following character models

- Past experience in working with other projects is not required but is more likely to get you casted


Please apply with a link to your animation reel or portfolio and we will be happy to consider you. 

If you want to be paid, you must have a Venmo. We know it's not a lot of money but it's most affordable right now.

Paid: 1 USD per line

We're paying at a rate of $1 per colored, fairly detailed background. That may not seem like a lot, but in animation, with dynamic blocking, it'll add up quickly. There will be lots of them because the show will focus on lots of dynamic cinematography. 


Requirements for joining the team as a background artist are ~

- Must be okay doing collaborative work 

- Must be experienced in shading, lighting, and perspective 

- Must be good at drawing interiors & exteriors of architecture such as skyscrapers, houses, billboards, laboratories, and highschools
