ANIMATED SHORT FILM - Join the 3D Production Team at Anywhere

About the Position

ANIMATED SHORT FILM - Join the 3D Production Team at Anywhere

We’re currently putting together the 3D production team for an independent ~15-minute animated short film, and we’re looking for artists who would like to become part of the project from the production stage.

The film follows a group of graffiti artists planning a hit on a metro train. When a new member joins the crew, tensions begin to grow, putting their trust and loyalty to the test.

The film is produced in Poland and features Polish-language dialogue with English subtitles, but the project is open internationally and all team communication and collaboration will be conducted in English.

It's a mix of graffiti, hip-hop, drama, action, and comedy, made for an adult audience.

The Project

The project is already in production. We have:

• A finished script
• Character designs and concepts
• Completed storyboards for a significant part of the film
• 3D environment blockouts
• A voice cast
• A sound designer
• Musicians and DJs from the hip-hop community
• 30+ Polish graffiti artists who have agreed to have their work featured in the film

The film is being developed as an independent production and will be submitted to animation and film festivals once completed.

Responsibilities

3D Environment Artists

We’re looking for artists who enjoy building detailed, atmospheric environments and want to have creative input rather than simply receive a list of assets to model. The goal is to develop these into finished environments including:

• Architecture and set construction
• Props and environmental assets
• Materials and textures
• Set dressing
• Surface details
• Lighting and atmosphere
• Small environmental storytelling details

3D Character Artists

We’re also looking for artists interested in creating 3D characters based on our existing character designs and concepts. Depending on your experience and interest, this may include:

• Character modeling
• Sculpting
• Retopology
• UVs
• Texturing
• Look development
• Rigging

3D Animators

We’re also looking for 3D animators interested in working on character animation for the film. Depending on your experience and interests, the work may include:

• Character animation
• Acting and dialogue animation
• Body mechanics
• Action and movement (chase scenes, parkour, and fights)
• Working with existing rigs
• Helping develop the animation style of the film

Requirements

• Proficiency in Blender
• Experience with 3D modeling, texturing, and animation
• Ability to work in a collaborative environment
• Strong portfolio showcasing relevant skills

Creative Collaboration

We’re not looking only for people to execute predefined tasks. Artists joining the project will have the opportunity to influence the visual development of the film, suggest ideas, and help shape the environments and characters.

Working Language

The project is international and all communication, feedback, and production work will be conducted in English.

Important - Unpaid Collaboration

This is an unpaid collaboration. The project has no budget for artist salaries, so there is no financial compensation for the work. In return, you will become part of a real animated film production, receive credit in the final film, and be able to use your work in your portfolio/showreel.

To Apply

Please include:

• Which role you’re interested in (Environment / Character)
• A link to your portfolio/ArtStation/website or previous work
• A few words about your experience with Blender

If you have another 3D skill that you think could be useful for the project, feel free to mention it as well.

We’re looking for people who are genuinely excited about the project and would like to help build it together.
