  • Keep leads, production, and team members informed about progress, challenges, and solutions.
  • Participate in dailies, rounds, and team discussions, contributing ideas and feedback to support creative and technical improvements.
  • Adhere to pipeline workflows and technical requirements for seamless integration into the production process.

What You’ll Bring:

  • Previous production experience as a 2D Animator on a feature or TV series, creating traditional animation.
  • At least 2 years of experience working with Toonboom Harmony 21 to Harmony 25 and excellent knowledge of all drawing and animation tools in Harmony.
  • Excellent verbal and written communication skills to effectively promote solutions, share knowledge, and incorporate feedback.
  • A portfolio or demo reel that demonstrates strong traditional 2D animation, including character performance, timing, spacing, and polish.
  • Strong drawing and draftsmanship skills, with an understanding of anatomy, posing, and perspective.
  • Strong character acting skills, including comedy, subtle expressions, and dynamic movement.
