Freelance 3D Animator (Part-Time, Contract) – Remote | Canada Preferred
Are you a creative 3D animator with a passion for storytelling?
We’re a proudly Canadian company based in Alberta, Canada and we’re looking for a freelance 3D artist/animator to help bring our characters and brand to life through short-form video content and product-focused reels.
You’ll be working with existing 3D models (created in Blender) to produce short animated videos for use across web and social platforms. Think quick-hit animations, interactive elements, and engaging reels that help shape the identity of our growing Canadian brand.
This is not a full-time role—we’re hiring on a per-project basis, ideal for students, recent grads, or independent creatives looking to grow their portfolios with meaningful work. Preference will be given to Canadian applicants, particularly those with a love for the outdoors and snow sports, as it aligns with our mission and will help more accurate bring our stories to screen.
What you'll do:
You’ll be working with pre-built 3D models (created in Blender) to produce:
- Short hero videos (8–10 seconds) for website and landing pages
- Social media reels featuring dynamic product-style animations
- Interactive character loops for website hover or scroll-based interactions
- Marketing animations that capture the fun, movement, and spirit of our characters
Responsibilities:
- Proficient in Blender – must be confident working with existing .blend files and character rigs
- Growing portfolio showcasing character animation, stylized visuals, or product-focused motion design
- Great email communication skills — prompt, organized, and open to creative feedback
- Able to work independently and manage time effectively on a flexible schedule
- Must be comfortable signing an NDA and completing one paid test animation before project hiring
- Anticipated turnaround for test video: within 1 month
- Initial work includes a small batch of short-form animations for digital marketing
You're a great fit if...
- You want to build your portfolio with impactful, creative work
- You’re a visual storyteller who can bring energy, emotion, and motion to characters
- You understand the outdoor lifestyle — especially skiing or snowboarding culture (not required)
- You enjoy collaborating remotely and take feedback professionally
To be considered, please submit your resume along with a portfolio or showreel that highlights your 3D animation work.
