Art Director for high end video productions

Posted 4 weeks ago

Worldwide

Summary

We are a fully remote creative studio that helps brands create video content, from commercials and brand films to motion graphics, event experiences, product launches, and large-scale campaigns. We work with clients across the United States and beyond, and we're looking for a freelance Art Director to join our creative network on a project-by-project basis. We're intentionally using the title "Art Director" loosely. We're really looking for a versatile visual thinker - someone who can take a brief, script, strategy document, or even a rough conversation and turn it into compelling visual ideas. You should be comfortable developing concepts, creating visual directions, building storyboards, designing motion graphics, exploring new styles, and helping shape the creative approach for a project. This is not a role for someone who works in a single style. Our projects span hand-drawn illustration, character animation, motion design, event graphics, presentation design, 3D storytelling, mixed media, and typography-driven work. Every project is different, and we need someone who enjoys that challenge. What You'll Do - Develop visual concepts from briefs, scripts, and creative discussions - Create storyboards, moodboards, and visual development materials - Design graphics packages for video content (titles, transitions, lower thirds, social assets, etc.) - Explore and define visual styles for brands and campaigns - Design frames and scenes for animation projects - Collaborate closely with producers, writers, editors, animators, and creative directors - Help solve creative problems throughout production If you're the type of creative who loves jumping between styles, solving visual problems, experimenting with new tools, and bringing stories to life, we'd love to see your work. We look forward to meeting you.
