Can you impress us, or has all the botox and sunshine made you weak?

Our youngest sister, Psyop LA, is looking for talented and experienced motion designers and aspiring art directors to play with at our new and growing Venice beach studio; and trust me, she’s picky. We pride ourselves on the quality and stylistic diversity of our work, and would expect nothing less from you. Show us something fantastic, or go back to yoga class.

While we’re mainly searching for people with more than 3 years of experience, we will entertain those with less if you’re a bad-ass, so bring it.

Those able to demonstrate even minimal skill or interest in motion graphics animation/compositing (after effects, nuke), or 3d (maya, xsi, max) get first consideration.

Please send high-quality styleframes/boards/pitches, reels and resumes to Lyndal Heathwood at lyndal@psyop.tv

Submission of youtube or similarly low-quality links will inspire great ridicule, and will subsequently be ignored.

Rumour has it that Darkside Animation are close to starting production of their new feature ‘The Kitchen Games’. Might be worth contacting them for placements.
