[PAID] We are seeking a skilled Blender Artist to take our film’s 3d animations to the next level.
Our documentary mixes a real-life sailing adventure with imaginative 3d worlds, offering a chance to craft cinematic visuals that bridge reality and memory. The animations fall under three main concepts: a “paper earth,” a “memory palace,” and an underwater scene (part of the “memory palace” world). The final animations will integrate seamlessly into the documentary’s narrative, enhancing storytelling while maintaining a cohesive visual style. As our Finishing Artist, you will take the existing animations and perfect the lighting, textures, and movements to achieve stunning results. Here is an example of one “paper earth” animation: https://vimeo.com/liquidsara/electricalstorm.
This is paid freelance work. In addition to compensation (commensurate with experience), you will receive credit in the film.
Qualifications:
- Strong experience with Blender, especially lighting, camera movements, water physics, particle systems, and volumetrics
- Ability to work independently and remotely
- Excellent communication and collaboration skills
- Experience in the film industry is a plus
Deliverables:
- Rendered files for each animation in the agreed-upon format (final renders may be outsourced—details to be confirmed)
- Organized Blender project files to allow for outsourced rendering and/or future adjustments and iterations
- All associated assets, including textures, materials, and custom elements used in the animations
Timeline:
Our timeline is somewhat flexible, but we aim to complete the animations by mid-April.
