About the job

I’m currently developing a short, contained proof-of-concept sequence (45-60 seconds) for a near-future thriller project titled *The Orchard*, centered on a device capable of eliminating scarcity    

The goal is to create a visually strong, cinematic piece focused on tone and concept rather than a full short film

I’m looking for: 

• 2D Animator 

• Background / Environment Artis

Style direction: grounded, cinematic 2D with painterly lighting (inspired by Arcane, but more restrained and realistic in tone)

This is an unpaid collaboration, with a clearly defined and limited scope. The intention is to create a high-quality piece that all collaborators can use for their portfolios, while also serving as a development asset for the project    

I’ve prepared a structured brief outlining the scene and approach, which I can share upon interest. If this aligns with your work and interests, feel free to reach out with a link to your portfolio.

Thanks, Eric
