Senior 3D Character Animator

Zographic Films is looking for a Senior 3D Character Animator for a 26-minute animated TV special. The project starts on 1 October 2026 and runs for three to four months, with a minimum commitment of two months. Work is fully remote, with no fixed working hours.

The film features cartoon-style animal characters, some anthropomorphic, walking upright and using human-like body language. Dialogue, lip-sync and production communication are in English.

You will work in Autodesk Maya, taking shots from blocking through final polish and approval. We provide character rigs, layout scenes and approved animation as a reference for style and quality.

The role requires an efficient, independent workflow, accurate interpretation of the director’s instructions and the ability to meet deadlines with minimal revisions. Expected output is 60–120 seconds of fully approved animation per month, including all revisions. The upper end of this range is achievable for a senior animator.

Payment is made monthly against reports of approved shots recorded in Kitsu, with weekly payments also possible by agreement.

To apply, please send:

• A showreel demonstrating character acting and dialogue, clearly identifying your contribution.
• A brief overview of your relevant experience.
• Your availability and expected monthly fee.

The date for using project footage in personal portfolios or showreels is still to be confirmed; the current estimate is after June 2027.
