Paid Freelance Opportunity

Sinking Ship Entertainment in Toronto, Canada, is currently seeking a Blender professional to help integrate Blender into our current vfx pipeline. The position is open to candidates with a thorough knowledge of Blender 2.5/2.6. This can be a remote contract for the right individual. Initially, we are looking for an artist to convert existing character rigs from 3dStudio Max to Blender. Existing v-ray shaders will need to be re-created in Blender’s render engine as well.

The project is a children’s vfx TV series called Anne’s Droids with cg robots over live action characters and backgrounds. The design has a feel similar to District Nine/Real Steel. The pilot can be viewed here: http://vimeo.com/19800280

Interested candidates can send a current CV and examples of their work to: resumes-anim@sinkingship.ca

Indeed very cool, my kids would so love that show too! I’ll be keeping an eye out for it!
