3D Motion Designer (Freelance)

• Passion for Deep Tech: You must love deep tech and demonstrate genuine excitement for visualizing cutting-edge technologies.
• Education & Experience: Your portfolio must showcase sophisticated work that goes beyond technical proficiency to demonstrate strategic thinking and creative problem-solving in visualizing advanced technologies.
• 3D Software Mastery: Expert proficiency in Cinema 4D, Blender, or Maya with the ability to leverage each tool's strengths for different project needs. Advanced knowledge of rendering engines (Octane, Arnold, V-Ray, Redshift) and the technical expertise to optimize render pipelines for both quality and efficiency. You understand the full 3D production pipeline from modeling and texturing to lighting and rendering.
• Motion Graphics & Compositing: Advanced skills in After Effects for compositing, motion graphics, and post-production workflows. You seamlessly integrate 3D renders with 2D elements, typography, and effects to create polished final deliverables. Experience with node-based compositing (Nuke, Fusion) and color grading workflows is valued.
• Portfolio Excellence: Strong portfolio showcasing sophisticated 3D animations, technical visualizations, and strategic motion design thinking. Your work should demonstrate the ability to handle complex technical subjects from molecular structures to spacecraft systems with both scientific accuracy and creative flair. We'll look for evidence of your ability to maintain consistent visual quality across diverse project types.
• Technical Communication Skills: You can take a dense technical whitepaper about quantum algorithms or biotech processes and transform it into an engaging animation that makes the innovation accessible to non-technical audiences while maintaining scientific integrity.
• Brand Systems & Consistency: Deep understanding of brand consistency and the ability to work within established visual systems while pushing creative boundaries. You'll adapt your style to fit different brand aesthetics while maintaining coherence across all deliverables, ensuring every animation feels on-brand whether it's for a biotech startup or an aerospace company.
• Leadership & Mentorship: Experience with project management and mentoring junior creative team members. You can break down complex projects into manageable tasks, provide constructive feedback, and elevate the work of others. Your leadership helps maintain quality standards while fostering creative growth within the team.
• Client Communication Excellence: Strong client communication skills and proven ability to present work to senior stakeholders. You can articulate creative decisions clearly, manage expectations effectively, and navigate feedback from multiple stakeholders including CEOs, CTOs, and marketing teams. Your professionalism and communication skills build client confidence in ambitious creative directions.
• Technical Curiosity & Innovation: A genuine passion for technology and staying current with industry advances. You're excited to learn about new scientific domains whether it's understanding how fusion reactors work or how CRISPR gene editing functions because that knowledge directly improves your ability to visualize these innovations effectively.
• Bonus Skills: Experience with real-time engines (Unreal Engine, Unity) for interactive experiences is highly valued. Knowledge of procedural animation tools (Houdini), AR/VR development, or programming (Python, JavaScript) for automation and custom tools is a plus. Any experience with scientific visualization, data visualization, or technical illustration will set you apart. We especially value artists who can handle the full creative pipeline, from concept sketches to final delivery.
