Animator – Music Video Project
About the role
This role is for a creative stop-motion animator to craft a visually compelling music video for an original track, running 4 minutes and 46 seconds. The project centers on a cat character, used symbolically and narratively to mirror the song’s lyrics and emotional tone. The animation should be expressive and atmospheric, with movement, texture, and pacing closely aligned to the music. The visual style should be artistic and tactile, drawing inspiration from established stop-motion works, but open to various techniques such as paper cut-outs, objects, or mixed media, provided the result is cohesive and emotive. Creative direction, including lyrics, themes, and emotional intent, will be provided to guide your work. The final video must be suitable for YouTube and social media release, and the project can be completed remotely.
Deliverables
- Develop and produce a complete stop-motion music video (4:46 duration) featuring a cat as the central character.
- Integrate visual storytelling that reflects the song’s emotional and lyrical themes.
- Collaborate on creative direction, incorporating provided references, lyrics, and thematic guidance.
- Ensure the animation style is cohesive, emotive, and suitable for digital release.
- Deliver the final video in formats optimized for YouTube and social platforms.
- Provide regular progress updates and incorporate feedback as needed.
Requirements
- Proven experience in stop-motion animation, with a strong portfolio showcasing previous work.
- Ability to create expressive, atmospheric visuals using various stop-motion techniques (e.g., paper cut-outs, objects, mixed media).
- Strong sense of pacing, movement, and texture in relation to music.
- Artistic sensibility and attention to detail, with a focus on emotive storytelling.
- Excellent communication skills and openness to creative collaboration.
- Ability to work independently and meet project deadlines.
- Access to necessary equipment and software for high-quality stop-motion production.
- Availability to work remotely and deliver the project within agreed timelines.
