ā¢ Story Lead & Narrative Illustrator
ā¢ Storyboard Technical Refiner & Specialist
ā¢ Story Sequence Editor
About the Role: Join shortart.co as a Storyboard Artist( and become the architect of our visual narrative. This role is designed for those who love the art of visual storytelling and cinematic pacing. You will dive into the pre-production side of our pipeline, translating scripts into compelling visual sequences. You will focus on camera angles, character acting, and narrative clarity, ensuring our creative vision is clearly defined before moving into full production.
Strict Requirements:
Generalist Focus: We are looking for a 2D Generalist. While this role focuses on story boarding, you must possess a versatile skill set across the 2D pipeline to understand how your boards will impact layout and animation. Please do not apply if you are not a 2D Generalist.
Entry-Level/Unpaid: This is an entry-level position designed for educational value and professional development. Please do not apply if you are seeking a wage or financial compensation.
This unpaid internship is designed to provide mentorship and portfolio growth. You will work under the supervision of experienced leads to learn the nuances of visual language, pacing, and shot composition within a narrative production.
Key Responsibilities:
Generalist Execution: Understand and assist in various stages of the 2D pipeline to ensure storyboards are technically feasible for the animation and layout teams.
Visual Storytelling: Create rough and cleaned-up storyboard panels that communicate action, emotion, and cinematic intent based on script requirements.
Pipeline Transition: Help streamline the handoff from storyboards to the layout phase, ensuring that character designs and environments are respected within the panels.
Iterative Learning: Receive direct mentorship on industry-standard boarding methodologies, including focal lengths, "acting" within stills, and rhythmic pacing.
Collaborative Reviews: Participate in creative pitch sessions, presenting sequences to the team and translating feedback into updated, actionable visual revisions.
Requirements:
2D Generalist Skillset: A portfolio or work samples demonstrating proficiency across multiple 2D disciplines (drawing, anatomy, or perspective). Understanding how the art is made is a strict requirement for boarding it effectively.
Draftsmanship: Strong foundations in drawing, including the ability to maintain character consistency and spatial awareness across multiple panels.
Education: Recently graduated or student taking a break or take summer break and be a animation major or related.
Software Skills: Proficiency in industry-standard tools (e.g., Storyboard Pro, Photoshop, or specialized 2D software).
Learning Mindset: Seeking academic credit or mentorship to bridge the gap between student projects and professional-grade narrative production.
Portfolio (Mandatory): A portfolio website featuring a completed animatic is a mandatory requirement for this role. To respect the recruitment team's time, please ensure your site is updated with a relevant sample before applying.
Additional Notes: Schedules are flexible to accommodate academic calendars and learning goals. All work is educational, supervised, and structured around skill development rather than production quotas. This is an unpaid internship focused on professional growth and portfolio development.
SCAD Alumni preferred, but all are welcome to apply!
