NextVR is looking for a creative that specializes in Motion Design, with an emphasis in 3D/CG Motion Graphics, to join our production team in Newport Beach, CA. An understanding of Virtual Reality is a plus, but depending on portfolio review professional experience in VR is not an absolute necessity.

Primary Responsibilities

• Create stunning mograph animations in stereoscopic 3D/VR space.
• Take responsibility for establishing the lighting and "look" of the animations.
• Continually push the boundaries of what an animation of a mograph package looks like in Virtual Reality.
• Assist with the creation of "still" VR pieces, tending to the layout, lighting, and overall look of a piece.
• Communicate clearly with the creative team & producers to meet strict deadlines, often in a very fast-paced production environment.
• Reports to the VFX Supervisor.
  
  

Qualifications

• 3+ years experience in Feature Film, Commercial, or other studio production environments.
• Must have a very strong understanding of 3D computer graphics, including lighting and shading (understanding of raytrace renderers).
• Must be a strong CG artist with a demo reel of work to showcase this experience.
• A strong understanding of motion and still design, typography, mograph trends, and 3D animation.
• Must be willing to be flexible regarding the package in which work will be executed (it might not be C4D).
• Understanding of Maya & Nuke is a plus.
• Can operate independently, as a self-starter, while also working within a larger team that is big on collaboration.
• Must have a passion, or developing passion, for Virtual Reality, as well as an ample creative drive that produces unique & original ideas.
