Designer - Motion Graphics

Job description

Key Responsibilities • Conceptualize, design and animate high-quality motion graphics for broadcast and digital platforms. • Develop channel identities, show packages, title sequences, promos, campaigns, explainers and other branded content. • Take projects from creative concept and style development through animation, compositing and final delivery. • Create sophisticated 2D and 3D motion design using Houdini, Cinema 4D and After Effects. • Develop 3D environments, objects and animations, including lighting, texturing, rendering, particles, procedural animation and simulations where required. • Handle advanced compositing, tracking, masking, keying, rotoscoping and visual effects. • Create and develop strong typography, supers and graphic treatments that align with the visual identity of each project. • Work closely with Art Directors, designers, editors, promo producers and other members of the creative and post-production teams to develop and execute creative ideas. • Adapt and deliver content across multiple platforms, formats and aspect ratios while maintaining visual quality and brand consistency. • Work effectively within the fast turnaround times and changing priorities of a broadcast and news environment. AI & Generative Production AI is a core part of this role, and candidates should demonstrate practical, hands-on experience using generative AI as part of real creative workflows. Responsibilities include: • Generate and develop visual concepts using AI image and video generation tools. • Work with platforms such as Seedance, Higgsfield, Kling, Runway, and other emerging generative tools. • Develop AI-generated imagery and transform it into animated sequences and finished visual content. • Maintain character, environment, style and visual consistency across AI-generated shots and sequences. • Refine and troubleshoot AI outputs rather than relying solely on first-generation results. • Combine AI-generated assets with After Effects, Cinema 4D, Houdini and traditional post-production techniques to achieve professional-quality results. • Use AI for concept development, storyboarding, style exploration, image generation, video generation, animation, enhancement and creative problem-solving. • Continuously explore emerging AI tools and identify practical ways to integrate them into existing creative workflows.

• Genuinely hands-on with generative AI and understands both its capabilities and current limitations.
• Curious and willing to experiment with new technologies and workflows.
