About Us
We are looking for a full-time Animator for our YouTube channels:
•
•
We make documentary-style videos that explain complex stories in a clear and engaging way.
Role Overview
This role focuses on two core tasks:
• Geolayer3 map animations (2D / 2.5D / 3D)
• 2D & 3D animations in After Effects using custom models, icons and elements you create or modify.
You will read a brief, visualize the sequence, and deliver polished shots that match our style. You must be able to handle 3d modes, animation, and compositing as needed.
Key Responsibilities
• Build cinematic map animations: routes, movements, markers, labels, zooms, elevation, highlights
• Create or modify 3D models of vehicles, equipment, terrain, and props (modeling, kitbashing, UVs, textures, basic rigging)
• Animate 3D shots: camera moves, turntables, reveals, exploded views
• Composite icons, labels, and images for clarity
• Keep project files clean and organized (naming, versioning, tidy scenes)
• Work closely with editors and producers; share WIPs and take notes
• Track tasks in Notion, deliver files to Dropbox
• Optimize scenes for fast iteration and re-renders.
Minimum Requirements
• 5+ years in 3D and motion graphics for documentaries/explainers
• Expert in After Effects (compositing, 2.5D camera, motion blur, overlays)
• Expert in 3D (modeling, UVs, texturing, shading, lighting, rendering, basic rigging)
• Strong skills in Illustrator/Photoshop (icons, labels, map elements)
• Strong visual storytelling and ability to execute independently
• Fluent English (written and spoken)
• Daily working overlap with Cyprus business hours (Mon–Fri)
• Familiarity with ChatGPT and AI tools for workflow support
Nice to Have
• Experience with stylized or data-based mapping workflows
• Interest in defense, aviation, military history, or geospatial visualization
Your Setup
• Workstation with 64 GB RAM minimum (more preferred), strong GPU/CPU
• Fast, stable internet (30-50 Mbps upload recommended)
Contract & Hours
• Full-time, remote
• Core overlap with Cyprus time required
• Must follow YTMG’s confidentiality, IP, communication, and schedule policies
How to Apply
Please send your CV and showreel/portfolio, along with:
1. Two end-to-end examples: one map animation and one 3D model-based animation (brief ? what you built ? tools used)
2. A short breakdown of a complex shot (goal, approach, modeling steps, pipeline)
3. Your hardware specs and a recent internet speed test screenshot
4. One sentence confirming you have read and accept the expectations listed above
