Jobs 2D Animation

Ми в and action створюємо рекламні відео: робимо анімаційні, знімальні та AI/hybrid-проєкти для таких брендів як ПУМБ, MacPaw, Сільпо, АЛЛО, LOKO, TED-Ed і не тільки.
 

Зараз шукаємо людину, яка не просто часом використовує АІ, а вміє повністю реалізувати АІ відео: від перших генерацій для затвердження стилю до анімації, і фінального результату.

Нам потрібна людина, яка розуміє AI-відео як production tool: знає, як працюють моделі, де вони можуть зламатися, як обійти обмеження і як довести результат до якісного, керованого вигляду.

Якщо в тебе сильне візуальне чуття, досвід в рекламному виробництві і ти вже робив повноцінні AI-проекти — welcome.

що треба робити:
— розробка візуалу + концептів
— пітчі та мудборди
— ТЗ і брифи для команди (AI, моушн, дизайн, 3D, анімація, звук, монтаж, колір і таке інше)
— рев’ю на всіх етапах
— фінальний чек перед клієнтом
— оформлення кейсів

що нам важливо:
— досвід на позиції АД в рекламному виробництві
— портфоліо з рекламними роликами
— 5–10 завершених AI-проектів де AI — основа, не допоміжний інструмент
— знаєш AI зсередини: які моделі, як вони працюють, чому ламаються і як знайти рішення коли дедлайн завтра, а сіденс лежить
 

що обіцяємо від себе:

Прозорі умови: ринкова оплата, допомога з документацією, зрозуміле підвищення зарплати за індивідуальним планом розвитку, 24 оплачувані дні відпустки на рік і окремо sick leave без зайвої бюрократії.

Спільнота: 2 дні на тиждень обовʼязково працюємо з офісу, інші дні по можливості. Маємо спільні події, корпоративи, воркейшни, подарунки на дні народження і річниці.

Розвиток і цікаві проєкти: формуємо персональні плани розвитку, оплачуємо навчання, проводимо внутрішні воркшопи та R&D-проєкти, даємо можливість пробувати нові інструменти, стилі й формати.

Соціальна відповідальність: працюємо з важливими суспільними ініціативами — створюємо відео для війська, фондів, Unbroken та маємо внутрішню політику допомоги у випадку мобілізації.
