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

📩 How to Apply:

To be considered, please submit your resume along with a portfolio or showreel that highlights your 3D animation work.
