JOB OVERVIEW

Senior 2D Animator – Key Animation (Genga) | Anime-Style | Clip Studio Paint
Overview
We’re building an anime-inspired 2D animation project focused on strong action, clear storytelling, and expressive posing.
This role is key animation (genga) only.
Traditional frame-by-frame animation.
No rigs. No cut-out animation. No motion graphics.
We’re looking for senior key animators who can design motion and deliver powerful, readable action similar to anime key animation.
________________________________________
What You’ll Do
• Create key animation (genga) for action-focused scenes
• Design strong poses with clear silhouettes
• Define timing using 1s, 2s, and strategic holds
• Push anticipation, impact, and follow-through
• Use smear frames and impact frames where appropriate
• Collaborate with an Animation Director and inbetween team
???? Inbetweening, cleanup, coloring, and compositing are handled separately.
________________________________________
Required Skills (Non-Negotiable)
• Strong experience with traditional frame-by-frame 2D animation
• Proven ability to animate action (fights, fast motion, heavy impacts)
• Excellent understanding of:
o Timing on 1s vs 2s vs holds
o Weight, balance, and body mechanics
o Exaggeration for clarity and force
• Comfortable animating in Clip Studio Paint
• Able to deliver expressive key animation, not just cleanup or in-betweens
________________________________________
This Role Is NOT For You If
• You mainly do motion graphics or After Effects animation
• You rely on rigs, symbols, or puppet animation
• You prioritize smoothness over impact
• You cannot show strong action animation in your portfolio
________________________________________
Nice to Have
• Prior experience as a key animator (genga) or senior animator
• Anime-inspired or anime-adjacent production experience
• Confidence breaking anatomy for impact when needed
• Experience working under an Animation Director
________________________________________
Tools & Workflow
• Animation: Clip Studio Paint (primary)
• Frame-by-frame workflow
• Clear storyboards and direction provided
• Compositing handled separately
________________________________________
How to Apply
Please include:
• Portfolio or reel (must include action animation)
• A brief note describing your experience with:
o Action scenes
o Anime-style animation
o Key animation workflows
• Your preferred rate and availability
???? Applications without action animation examples will not be considered.
