The Spectacular Spider-Man Continued Geography 101 (Spectacle Stars)
Aodh Ó Riagáin for Art/Animation Director
Similar to the Producer role posted here, but if you're an animator by trade with knowledge of animation pipelines, this role could be for you!
We are looking for someone with a background in animation and animation pipelines who could be of great help to manage the progress of our Art/Animation Department, and has the know-how to get the animation from a blank page all the way to a finished deal! Storyboards, animatic, backgrounding, layout, key animation, cleanup/in-between, digital ink and paint, compositing, you'll oversee all of these!
We have a team of 25+ artists and animators of various skillsets, and a core of about 4 Lead Artists/Lead Animators who are our bedrock in terms of expertise and input on the team.
That said, since we've been a passion project for so many years and these 4 magnificent individuals have IRL stuff to deal with, it has usually been a rotation of a few of them being present to oversee things at once.
And while all of them of them can produce breathtaking results with regards to the art and animation, we could really use another individual who is familiar with the nuances of an animation pipeline, and is able to juggle the demands with overseeing the day-to-day management of an entire team or department of artists and animators, including various tasks such as DM check-ins, progress management, holding voice chat meetings, quality assurance, etc.
Even if you are not adept with the animation style of the Spectacular Spider-Man at the moment, deferring to our veteran leads for the quality assurance portion of this role as needed is absolutely possible.
However, a MASSIVE plus here would be submitting an audition with both:
- a finished animation sample (made on a team or individually), and
- a voice message and/or list of your prior work and background experience
While this role would not be paid at the beginning, we are working to get more of our Leads' time by paying them once crowdfunding is a-go and this would be an extension of that as well.
