Jobs: Nerd Corps Entertainment seeks storyboard artist-Vancouver BC
Nerd Corps Entertainment, established in 2002, is a DHX Media company, boasting a diverse portfolio of award-winning original properties such as Slugterra, League of Super Evil, Storm Hawks and Rated A for Awesome. With six shows in production, there is always a genre or character to keep you interested and challenged. But we’re more than just an animation studio. Our 400 creatives build stories, worlds, and experiences for kids that cut across platforms from television to online, games, toys, mobile—wherever kids are spending time. We handle all stages of our process in-house, from the IP creation and development to post-production, finance, sales and distribution, licensing and consumer products, and interactive development, making us a rarity in the industry. Our studio near Vancouver’s trendy Commercial Drive is a vibrant mixture of rookies and veterans, where those fresh out of college can continue learning from mid-career and senior artists, and where every level of experience can make the most of their talent on some of the best kids shows and games in the world.
Leo, Gemini, Emmy…been there, won that.

HoneyVR is looking for talented CG artists to create pre-rendered VR content
HoneyVR, a virtual-reality content distributor is looking for talented CG artists to create pre-rendered VR content. We are looking to acquire short pre-rendered (90s – 3mins) animated content which is VR-ready, which basically means rendered as a 360-degree spherical MPEG-4 (2:1 aspect ratio, equirectangular rendering). We’re looking for short films but also what we call short ‘experiences’ — think short, immersive VR experiences like guiding the user through a high-res galaxy, tagging along with a frog in a rainforest, etc.
We pay $2000 per short film and $500 per “â€experienceâ€â€, plus a royalty of $.01 CPV ($.01 every time your piece is viewed). You can do the work at your own pace and generate good side income, and VR is flat out the most fun medium you will ever design for if you are a 3D artist! Check out our Program Guidelines here for detailed info on the program and I hope to be working with some of you guys soon !

Jobs: Talented Freelance Animators Required
Job Description
We are seeking 3 exceptionally talented, motivated and innovative animators to join our elite team at Studio1908 on a freelance/per project basis.
Studio1908 is a new independent production studio specialising in animated content. Our clients are looking for high quality original animated video for communications, marketing, advertising and entertainment purposes. Existing clients include Beiersdorf (Nivea), The Holiday Inn and Centrica (British Gas).
Animators at Studio1908 can enjoy creating content in animation styles that they love and are most confident in producing (including 2D, 3D, motion graphics, stop motion, mixed media, illustrative etc.). By showcasing a 30-60 second sample of their specialist style to our clients via the Studio1908 portfolio, our clients can select the animator they would most like to have working on their production alongside the Studio1908 producers, copywriters, designers, voice over artists and composers.
Your role will involve working closely with the Studio1908 team in a “virtual†capacity from your home or your own studio space. For every project you are awarded you will be required to build graphics, storyboards and animatics along with the animated content to the supplied creative brief.
Applicants must also be reliable, hugely self-motivated, have great creative vision, pay exceptional attention to detail and have solid communication skills. Knowledge of trends and advances in technology in the animation industry is advantageous. The ability to work closely with a project manager to a supplied brief whilst meeting tight deadlines is paramount.
On average, animations will be approximately 90 seconds in length however you may be required to create longer animated content and fees paid to you will reflect this.
This is an ongoing casual position. To apply, please email animate@studio1908.co with a covering letter and online examples of your original animation work. If we do feel that you might be a good fit for the Studio1908 team we will contact you with information on how to complete the full application process. Please note that we are only seeking 3 animators at this time, and due to the large number of submissions we are receiving we are only able to reply to applicants who we feel might be suitable for this role.
