About the Role: Darrall Macqueen are seeking a versatile Senior Toon Boom Rigger & Asset Artist to lead our photoreal animal character pipeline—from preparing 2D photo assets in Adobe Photoshop through to full cut-out puppet assembly in Toon Boom Harmony.
Using initial photo references, you will assemble orthographic turnarounds and annotate camera specs to guide an on-set animal reference photoshoot. Following the shoot, you will ingest and curate hero plates, execute precise layer breakdowns and joint under-painting, build standard dialogue phonemes, and assemble a robust, multi-angle cut-out rig in Toon Boom Harmony optimised for downstream neural video passes.
