Hopskip Animation

Storyboard Artist

  • Contract
  • On-site
  • London, United Kingdom
  • Closes in 10 days

About the role

Hopskip Animation is a 2D animation studio of about thirty people above a Soho sandwich shop. We make short films and series for children’s channels, and the odd music video when nobody is looking.

We need a storyboard artist for eight weeks to board a seven-minute short about a lighthouse keeper’s very small dog. You will work from the script with the director, pitch sequences to the team and revise quickly from notes.

Clear staging, readable acting and a feel for comedy timing matter more to us than polished drawings. We board in Storyboard Pro, but strong boards in any tool will get our attention.

On-site in Soho, Monday to Friday. The studio has a dog of its own, who is happy to model.

What you’ll do

  • Board sequences from script with the director
  • Pitch boards to the team
  • Revise quickly from notes
  • Prepare animatic-ready panels

What we’re looking for

  • A storyboard portfolio with at least one full sequence
  • Experience in animation or live-action boarding
  • Comfortable pitching your work
  • Available for 8 weeks on-site

Benefits

  • 8-week contract with a credit on the film
  • Paid weekly
  • Studio dog included
  • Possible follow-on series work

Interview process

  • Portfolio review
  • Chat with the director
  • Paid board test (one day)

Skills

  • Storyboarding
  • Storyboard Pro
  • Staging
  • Comedy timing
  • Character acting
