Studio Soi is looking for senior 2d animators to work on the feature film Sidi Kaba in digital hand drawn animation.
We are seeking experienced 2D animators with demonstrably strong skills in the posing of human characters and the ability to convey subtle, believable human behaviour. Candidates should avoid clichéd or caricatured acting, instead bringing nuance and authenticity to their scenes. A solid understanding of human anatomy should be evident in your past work and visible in your showreel.
This international co-production requires animators to hand over scenes in a well-organized and clean format, allowing downstream departments—often located in other countries—to work with them efficiently.
In addition to strong drawing and animation skills, we are looking for experience in:
Animators will be responsible for full scenes, including rough animation, inbetweening, clean up and colouring from start to finish.
We will be animating in TVPaint on Cintiq tablets. Ideally, candidates should be familiar with both.
Studio Soi will be working as part of an international group of artist on this European co-production and in order to work as a refined and efficient team, we aim to have approximately 10 animators gathered in our studio here in Ludwigsburg, Germany.
If you are interested, please apply as soon as possible. Animation work is scheduled to begin mid-July 2025 and continue through the end of February 2026.
We are offering a full-time position (Mo-Fr, 8 hrs / day), for a fixed term of approx. 5 months in Ludwigsburg, Germany. In this role, remote work will unfortunately not be possible.
Our studio has a long tradition of working with international teams, so knowledge of the German language is not required for the job.
