Position Summary:

We are seeking a talented Motion Graphics Artist & 3D Generalist with strong Cinema 4D and Redshift capabilities to support our video production and creative teams.

In this role, you will assist the lead 3D artist with active production workflows—primarily focusing on photorealistic product visualization (lighting, texturing, rendering, and compositing existing 3D models into various settings)—while also contributing to traditional motion graphics, promotional video, and educational digital content using the Adobe Creative Cloud suite.

Key Responsibilities:

• 3D Look Development & Scene Assembly: Work with pre-existing 3D models (e.g., bottles, vials, containers, packaging with liquids) to place them into various realistic environments and scene setups.
• Lighting & Shading: Build realistic studio lighting setups and utilize Redshift materials/shaders to accurately depict glass, transparent/translucent materials, liquids, plastics, and reflective finishes (refraction, transmission, absorption, IOR).
• Render Optimization: Optimize Redshift render settings (sampling, noise reduction, clean multi-pass output) for both high-resolution stills and animated video deliverables.
• Motion Graphics & Compositing: Design, animate, and composite 2D/3D motion graphics assets into promotional and educational video content using Adobe After Effects and Premiere Pro .
• AI Tool Integration: Leverage AI-assisted animation and production tools to streamline asset generation and motion workflows where applicable.
• Cross-Functional Collaboration: Take creative direction smoothly, turn around revisions under tight deadlines, and maintain organized project files.

Required Qualifications & Technical Skills:

• Experience: 4+ years of professional experience in motion graphics design and video editing.
• Adobe Creative Suite: Advanced proficiency in Adobe After Effects and Adobe Premiere Pro (~5 years preferred).
• Cinema 4D Proficiency: Solid working knowledge of Maxon Cinema 4D , including lighting, scene assembly, material application, and camera animation.
• Redshift Rendering: Hands-on experience with the Redshift render engine (shaders, lighting rigs, render settings, and passes).
• AI-Assisted Animation: Demonstrated familiarity or practical experience using AI tools for animation, asset creation, or motion enhancements.
• Compositing: Strong ability to composite 3D passes and elements cleanly into live-action or motion graphics scenes.

Preferred / Nice-to-Have Skills:

• Experience with photorealistic rendering of glass, liquids, reflective surfaces, and cosmetic/medical packaging.
• Familiarity with healthcare, pharmaceutical, or commercial consumer brand aesthetics.
• Solid 3D modeling and UV mapping skills (though primary tasks involve existing models).

Portfolio Requirements (Mandatory for Review):

Candidates must provide a portfolio or reel link demonstrating:

• Traditional Motion Graphics: Clean typography, transitions, kinetic design, and polished video editing.
• Cinema 4D / Redshift Work: High-end product renders, custom lighting set…
