Zack D. Films is hiring 3D Generalists to help us bring our fast-paced, short-form animated videos to life! We’re one of the biggest animation channels in the world with millions of followers across platforms with over 2.5 billion views per month—and we’re growing fast.
Important
To be considered, you’ll need to complete a paid test project that helps us assess whether you can match our animation style. Please review the job description and examples linked below to get a clear sense of the creative direction.
Compensation
$1000 for the first project (if you pass the test)
Rates for future projects are negotiable based on quality, speed, and communication
We are hiring multiple candidates for ongoing work
What We’re Looking For
Skilled in modeling, animating, lighting, and rendering
Hey folks — first off, I’m so sorry for the confusion. I just realized that this job listing mistakenly said the test project is paid, when it’s actually unpaid. That was entirely my error, and unfortunately I’m unable to edit or delete the original post — so I wanted to correct it here as soon as possible. (I was waiting for this post to be approved and assumed it went into a black hole - I also want to apologise it’s taken so long to come back and address this! I just saw a successful applicant come through our pipeline and realised this post was successfully posted)
The reason we ask for a short unpaid test to help us fairly assess skills before moving forward with paid work. It’s meant to reflect the actual work you’d be doing, and we’ve tried to keep it brief and respectful of your time.
Just to be clear: the test won’t be published or used in any content, and you’re absolutely welcome to include a watermark if that helps you feel more comfortable.
Really looking forward to connecting with talented folks through this community — and again, sincere apologies for the mix-up!
Yep, that’s exactly what happened - I used AI to help draft the job post and completely missed that it said paid test project when that wasn’t the case. That’s on me for not reviewing it properly, and I appreciate you pointing it out.
I’ve posted a correction but feel free to leave me a message with your application in the “Anything else you would like to tell us?” field, especially if you started or submitted work thinking it was paid and feel impacted by the mix-up. I’ll reply to each of you directly and find a resolution that feels fair.
