About the Role: We are seeking an exceptional 3D Animator who specializes in creating cinematic, high-retention Minecraft animations for YouTube. You will be responsible for producing emotionally engaging content that keeps viewers watching from start to finish.
What Makes You Perfect for This Role:
- Expressive Character Animation - You can bring Minecraft characters to life like real actors, with fluid body language, subtle facial expressions, and eye movements that convey genuine emotions (sadness, fear, joy, excitement)
- Cinematic Lighting & Rendering - You're an expert at creating mood through professional lighting. Whether it's a beautiful sunset or a terrifying storm, your renders look cinematic and high-end (RTX/Premium Shaders quality)
- Visual Storytelling - You understand camera techniques: when to use wide shots for scale and close-ups for emotional impact
YouTube Retention Mastery - You know how to create powerful hooks in the first 3 seconds that make viewers stay until the end
Reference Videos (This is the quality we expect):

Required Technical Skills:
- Software: Advanced proficiency in Blender (preferred) or Mine-imator
- 3D Modeling: Experience with Blockbench for creating/modifying custom models and mobs
- Post-Production: Understanding of sync, pacing, and screen-shake effects
- Portfolio: Must have a demo reel or published videos showcasing your Minecraft animation work (not gameplay captures)
Your Responsibilities:
- Animate 45-60 second YouTube Shorts OR 3-5 minute cinematic stories
- Build detailed environments with high-quality textures and atmospheric VFX
- Collaborate on creative "What If" story concepts and bring them to life visually
- Ensure every frame contributes to viewer retention and emotional engagement
HOW TO APPLY:
Please submit your application with the following:
- VOXY - Type this word at the very top of your application
- Portfolio Link - Share your BEST Minecraft animation work (YouTube, Vimeo, or portfolio website)
- Software Used - List your primary 3D animation software and skill level
- Animation Process - Briefly explain (3-5 sentences) HOW you make Minecraft characters look emotional and alive instead of stiff and robotic
- Availability - When can you start? How many hours per week can you commit?
IMPORTANT: Applications without "VOXY" at the top or without a portfolio link will not be considered.
