Position Overview & Specifications
About us
We are professional, agile, innovative, and our goal is to become one of the top drone light show companies in the UK.
Our work environment includes:
- Growth opportunities
Our drone light shows are driven by a custom designed animation of the scenes our clients want to create in the sky for their event. We are looking for freelance animators who have significant experience working in Blender or other suitable animation applications.
We are looking for individuals with the creative flair to visualise the end result and work towards creating a 10 to 15 minute light show to truly wow the audience.
We need someone who can work to deadlines, within our technical limits on minimum separation and maximum speed and accept customer feedback on the design before we approve and fly the show you create.
You will be asked to send examples of animations you have created previously and while we are not looking for someone who has drone light show design experience, any previous work in this or a related field will be beneficial.
