JOB OVERVIEW

I run a growing 3D animated faceless YouTube channel modeled on Zack D Films, and I'm hiring a long-term storyboard artist who is the bridge between the script and the final animated short. This is the most important hire on my team — the storyboard is what makes or breaks the video.

Main Responsibility — Storyboarding (60% of your time)
For every approved script you receive, you'll break it down into small sentences (one beat per frame) and turn it into a storyboard. For each sentence you'll provide:

A clear visual instruction (camera angle, character action, expression, environment)
A reference image (a screenshot from a similar Zack D Films short, a movie still, or a real photo — anything that shows the animator exactly what you mean)
Timing notes if the beat needs special pacing (slow zoom, hard cut, hold-for-laugh)
A 3D animator should be able to open your storyboard, look at sentence #14, and animate that frame without asking you a single question.

Voiceover Production (15%)
Use Elevenlabs to create the voice over then use Audacity to trim the VoiceOver with fullstops, etc.

Animator Feedback Loop (15%)
Once the 3D animators deliver a draft, you review it against the storyboard. If something is off — wrong camera angle, off timing, expression doesn't match the line — you write clear revision notes with timestamps and (where useful) annotated screenshots. You keep this loop running until the final video matches our quality bar.

Channel Management (10%)

Upload finished videos to YouTube with the right title, description, tags, thumbnail
Schedule uploads on our posting cadence
Reply to comments to drive engagement (you'll be given a tone guide)
Flag comments that need my attention (sponsorships, collabs, complaints)
You'll be given on Day 1: Full Zack D Films scripting SOP, reverse-engineered storyboard reference Zack D Films shorts, animator brief + revision-note templates, channel SOP, voiceover sample reels.

? BIG PLUS — 3D Animation Skills (Higher Pay)
If you can also do 3D animation (Blender, Unreal Engine, Cinema 4D, or similar), this is a major plus. I'll send 3D animation work your way on top of the storyboarding role, and your monthly salary goes up accordingly — see the salary breakdown below. If you're a strong storyboard artist AND a competent 3D animator, you're exactly who I want on this team long-term.

Who You Are:

You've worked on at least one animated YouTube channel before (unpaid passion projects count if the work is good)
Strong visual sense — when you read "he slowly opened the door," you immediately picture the angle, lighting, and lens
Clear, natural-sounding English. Voice samples required
You read briefs carefully and ask clarifying questions early instead of guessing
Available for one 30-minute video call per week
Can commit 6+ months. No 1-month contracts
What this job is NOT: You will not be writing scripts (we have a scriptwriter). You will not be doing the 3D animation (we have animators). You will not be designing thumbnails (we have a thumbnail designer). You will be the bridge between script and animation. That's the whole job.

HOW TO APPLY — follow this format exactly:

1. Start your message with the words "Frame 14" so I know you read the full post.
2. Portfolio: 1–3 links to storyboards or animated shorts you've worked on. If you don't have public examples, paste a 10-frame storyboard for this sentence: "I broke my brother's trophy and tried to hide it before he got home — but then I heard his key in the lock." Use any image references you want (Google Image links are fine).
3. Voice sample: A 30–60 second voiceover recording. Drive/Dropbox link, no attachments.
4. Zack D Films question: In 2–3 sentences, what makes a Zack D Films short work? What's the one thing he does that most copycat channels miss?
5. Availability: Your timezone, hours/week you can commit, and earliest start date.
Applications that don't follow this format will be ignored. I'm hiring for attention to detail — your application is the first test.
