We are currently seeking a talented and versatile Design Director for a freelance role in motion design. This exciting opportunity allows you to lead creative initiatives for high-profile theatrical and streaming projects, working on everything from sizzle reels to style guides, and adapting creative concepts into stunning graphics.
As a hands-on, creative leader, you'll have the opportunity to guide projects from concept to completion while collaborating with a small team of designers. If you thrive in a fast-paced environment and are passionate about motion design, this could be the perfect opportunity for you to showcase your skills and creativity on a national stage.
Design Director Key Responsibilities:
- Creative Leadership: Take charge of the creative direction for projects with minimal oversight, ensuring the highest-quality output.
- Team Collaboration: Partner with a small, talented team of designers to conceptualize and bring visual designs to life that align with project goals.
- Project Execution: Review teaser cuts, features, or series to identify the tone, visual style, and design direction for the project.
- Design & Animation: Create 2D and 3D designs, including logo animations and copy cards, ensuring seamless timing for theatrical presentations.
- Presentation: Prepare and present internal design concepts for feedback and approval (client-facing presentations are not required).
- Workflow Adaptation: Manage high-volume workflows, balancing the unique demands of both theatrical and streaming platforms.
What We’re Looking For:
- Proven Experience: Expertise in theatrical and streaming design workflows with a deep understanding of industry pace and deliverables.
- Design Tools: Proficiency in 2D and 3D design tools such as AfterEffects and Cinema4D.
- Conceptual & Aesthetic Skills: Strong ability to conceptualize and adapt to various design tones, particularly non-comedic, high-end visuals.
- Animation Skills: Experience animating logos and creating short graphic pieces (not full 30-second animations).
- Branding & Storytelling: Familiarity with timing, branding, and storytelling tailored to theatrical and streaming audiences.
- Leadership: Proven ability to lead projects and teams independently, ensuring high-quality, timely delivery.
- Adaptability: Comfort with working under tight deadlines and managing shifting priorities in a fast-paced environment.
Why You Should Apply:
- High-Profile Projects: Work on exciting campaigns for both theatrical and streaming platforms.
- Creative Freedom: Lead projects from concept to completion while collaborating with a talented team.
- Freelance Flexibility: Enjoy the freedom and flexibility of a freelance role while making a significant impact in the industry.
