Duarte is looking for Motion Graphics Artist (San Francisco Bay Area)
Starting Date: immediately, duration - Full-Time
Job details: Duarte—located in Mountain View, CA—is looking for an exceptional motion graphics artist with a sharp and relentless motion eye for a full-time position. Before going further, check to make sure your preferred tools of the trade are (A) After Effects and (B) Cinema 4D. If not, maybe next time. If they are, (i.e. these are MUST HAVES), continue onward!
You’ll respond to this because this describes you to the letter:
• Have an outstanding portfolio
• Believes motion graphics isn’t moving stuff around in After Effects, applying filters, and instantiating particle systems, but is the art of creating rich, fluid, organic spaces where the viewer can momentarily suspend disbelief
• Believes that great design isn’t done in a vacuum
• Lives a streamlined workflow between CS apps
• Adapts easily to team-based project workflow
• Enjoys working with other artists and producers
• Doesn’t wait around for things to happen
• Asks questions until the next steps are absolutely clear in their mind’s eye
Those traits belong to any motion artist that will apply for the position. What’s going to separate those that apply from the one that gets the gig is the following:
• Can’t let a project go because it just needs “one more thing”
• Always takes it a step further than asked, and stretches extra mile more, but never misses deadlines in doing so
• Never misses deadlines (yes, it’s in here twice)
• You can’t stand rigid, linear motion unless that’s the effect you’re going for
• “The Camera” is an appendage of your body
• You’re a technical troubleshooter
A bit about the team you’ll be joining:
Our people are uniquely talented. We thrive on challenges and live for innovation, while transforming client ideas into articulate, well-designed visuals. Clients come to us for original thinking, design expertise, and the unwavering pursuit of simplicity. We take massively complex, often incomplete concepts and return magic via the medium of presentations. We help clients focus on their real objective and the part of the presentation that really matters: the audience.
At the core, we are visual thinkers and storytellers. There is no “I” in Duarte. There is teamwork, mutual respect, passion for learning, immense camaraderie, lots of laughing, and long-lasting relationships. People who come to Duarte find more than a job. They find a home, a passion, a career. You will find a people-centered spirit that values service and quality. We are changing the way the world thinks about presentations. If you really want to impress us, check out slide:ology before we have a chance to talk.
You’ve seen our client list. These are big names, Fortune 500 companies, startups and legacy brands that have been around for a while. We’ve grown from word-of-mouth and long relationships with our clients. We value our reputation for excellent service and will choose it over revenue any day. We always meet our client deadlines and keep our promises. Always.
If you read this far, AWESOME! We’re going to save you time sweating over a cover letter. Besides the usual resume and link to your portfolio and reel, give us a point-by-point of how you meet the first bullet set along with any of the 2nd bullet set that you meet as well. You must at least answer the first bullet set to be considered.
