Role Description

This is a contract remote position for a 2D Animator & Artist. Your role will be to create new YouTube videos from a text script & audio voiceover. The deliverable will be a fully-drawn and animated video. Watch our latest videos to get a good idea of what you'll need to do!

Workload is approximately 1 fully-finished 10-minute video every two weeks, so two videos a month, but we can be flexible.

Qualifications
