We’re looking for a hands-on animation intern to help pose and animate stylised character images and short looping animations for an adult animated franchise website and social content.

You will report to a senior artist who oversees rendering, lighting, and the technical pipeline.
Responsibilities:

- Create short, simple animation loops (2–3 seconds)
- Work from provided creative direction, references, and story beats
- Iterate on poses and motion based on feedback
- Prepare assets for handoff to a senior artist for rendering and final output
- Collaborate remotely with a small creative team
Required Skills & Experience:
- Some experience using Blender (student, graduate, or self-taught)
- Strong sense of pose, silhouette, timing, and character
- Ability to make images read clearly and quickly
- Comfortable working independently and managing your own time
- Own computer and reliable internet connection
Nice to Have (Not Essential):
- Basic understanding of animation principles
- Experience posing characters for marketing images or short-form content
- Interest in animation, comedy, and character-driven storytelling
- A good sense of humour
Commitment & Details:
- Paid internship (entry-level / intern rate)

- Minimum 16 hours per week
- Flexible scheduling
- Short-form project work with clear deliverables
Why This Role Is Worth Doing:
- Real production credits
- Portfolio-worthy work
- Direct feedback from experienced industry professionals
- Exposure to a professional Blender-based production pipeline
How to Apply:
Please send a CV and include:
- A short note about yourself
- A link to relevant work (portfolio, showreel, or Blender examples if available)
- We’re more interested in potential and attitude than a perfect CV.
