Senior Storyboard Artist
About Elk Studios and the Project
We are on the lookout for a Senior Storyboard artist to join the growing team that is in early production on an exciting new long form 2D animated series. We are looking for a like minded, experienced and enthusiastic Storyboard Artist to come onboard the already established crew. The show is a 2D Toon Boom Harmony series for BBC/WDR based on a very well-known children's book property. The crew will reach a capacity of approx 60 people for this show.
We are based on Bridge Street in Dundalk town centre and we are a hybrid studio; the full crew working 3 days a week in house (Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday) and 2 days remotely. We’ve chosen to work like this as we are a creative industry and need to come together in person to collaborate as a team and to work through any issues as they arise. It’s a great way for all of us to upskill and learn from one another. Being able to work from home 2 days a week, allows flexibility to our work/life balance. Work Life balance is one of the guiding principles of our ethos, and we feel that the 3/2 day split goes some way in achieving this.
About The Role
We are looking for a very experienced Storyboard Artist for this role with excellent storytelling skills for an immediate start and a 6 month contract.
Must Have:
long term experience boarding for 2D action based shows
Experience boarding on a 2D series
Excellent sense of storytelling and composition
Excellent communication skills, proactive and happy to liaise with a whole team of people.
