Studio Soi is working on an animated feature film that combines real photographed miniature sets with 3D animation. We are looking for experienced model makers and junior artists for our workshop. The setbuilding department will be led by Klaus Morschheuser who previously worked on a number of TV shows and short films, including The Gruffalo, Room on the Broom and (as director) Trudes Tier.

We are looking for people with various crafting skills including:

THE PROJECT

The film is based on a German picture book and is aimed at younger children as well as families. The world we are creating is an inviting, colourful environment with different locations. It will require varying moods and landscapes. There will be fluffy forrests, rocky plains and psychedelic swamps.

The setbuilding team will work closely with design, light and camera department and 3D layout to achieve a unique and imaginitive environment for the funny, charming characters.

GENERAL CONDITIONS

We are offering a full-time role (Monday to Friday, 8 hours per day), for a fixed term of at least six months. The first team is scheduled to begin in October 2024.

We are looking for people who can work on-site in Ludwigsburg, Germany. In this role, remote work will not be possible.

Studio Soi has a long tradition of working with teams from various countries, backgrounds and cultures. We are looking forward to welcoming new artists in to our studio and to working with them. Very good language skills in either English or German are a must to communicate efficently and to avoid accidents in the workshop.
