Hi Cal! 👋

Thank you so much for reaching out and sharing your portfolio! I took a look at your Carrd and Instagram, and your experience conceptualizing and creating backgrounds for your own animations is exactly the kind of skill set we are looking for. Understanding how a background interacts with the animation pipeline is a massive advantage, and we would absolutely love to have you on board.

Just to be completely transparent upfront (as mentioned in the listing): this is a 100% non-commercial, collaborative portfolio project, so the role is unpaid. In exchange, you will receive full, prominent credit in the video and all promotional materials, plus complete rights to use the artwork in your personal portfolio, website, and demo reel.

We also love the idea of you being a 'flex slot'—having versatile artists who understand the bigger picture is incredibly valuable to an indie team.

If you are still interested in collaborating under these terms, please reply with your Discord handle! We’d love to add you to our studio server and send over some initial reference images, mood boards, and a quick creative brief to get started.

Thanks again for wanting to be part of CrimsonByteStudios!
