  • Collaborate closely with producers, writers, animators, AI filmmakers, and other creative team members
  • Translate scripts, concepts, and creative direction into clear visual references
  • Iterate quickly based on feedback and evolving production needs
  • Prepare assets optimized for AI image and video-generation workflows

Preferred Skills & Experience:

  • Strong background in visual development, character design, concept art, animation, illustration, or related fields
  • Strong understanding of composition, color, silhouette, shape language, and visual storytelling
  • Experience designing characters, props, and environments
  • Portfolio demonstrating strong visual design and the ability to work across different styles

  • Familiarity with AI video-generation tools such as Kling, Veo, Seedance, Runway, etc. is a plus
  • Strong proficiency in Photoshop or other traditional design and compositing tools
