Leading Creative and Production Direction for a 3D-Animated Streaming Series

This role offers a unique opportunity to lead the creative and production direction for a proof-of-concept pitch deck for a 3D-animated streaming series set in a richly imagined steampunk world. You will collaborate closely with a small, independent writing team to bring original IP and characters from early development through to polished, presentation-ready deliverables. The position requires a visionary approach to world-building, character design, and storytelling, as well as the ability to manage production workflows and deliver high-quality materials within indie project constraints. Creative autonomy and sensitivity to the project's themes are essential, with the potential for ongoing collaboration if the initial project is successful.

Deliverables

• Develop and refine the visual direction and style guide for the series, ensuring a cohesive steampunk aesthetic.
• Oversee the creation of character designs, environment concepts, and key art for the pitch deck.
• Manage the animation production pipeline, coordinating with artists and technical collaborators as needed.
• Produce polished presentation materials, including animatics or short animated sequences, to support the pitch.
• Collaborate with the writing team to ensure narrative and visual alignment throughout the project.
• Deliver all assets on schedule and within the agreed budget parameters.
