Job Description

Why join Swaybox Studios? Swaybox Studios is rewriting the rulebook of visual storytelling. As we collaborate with DC Studios/Warner Bros Pictures Animation and Matt Reeves' 6th and Idaho on a revolutionary new project, you'll play a vital role in coordinating the artistry and logistics that bring bold visions to life. This is your chance to help lead a production that's equal parts innovative and unforgettable. Job Summary As a Junior Storyboard Artist, your focus will be on cleaning up and refining story materials. You'll take rough storyboards, video boards, and filmed reference prepared by senior artists and transform them into clear, polished sequences. This includes drawing over filmed actions, improving clarity, and ensuring consistency with the film's style and vision. The role is a great fit for a skilled 2D animator or draftsperson with a sharp artistic eye, strong line work, and an interest in how story comes to life in feature animation. Key Responsibilities Clean up and refine rough storyboards and draw overs provided by senior artists and directors. Add clarity, polish, and consistency to existing story sequences. Perform draw overs on filmed actions to help translate performance and movement into storyboard form. Ensure work aligns with established visual style, camera language, and production pipeline standards. Organize and prepare cleaned-up storyboards for presentations, editorial, and production use. Take feedback from senior story artists and directors and adjust work quickly and accurately. Required Qualifications Strong drawing skills, with a good sense of gesture, action, perspective, and appeal. Solid foundation in 2D animation principles (line quality, staging, acting, posing, movement). Ability to repeatedly draw characters on-model with recognizability. Proficiency with digital drawing tools (e.g., Photoshop, Storyboard Pro, or equivalent). Ability to refine and polish others' work while respecting the intent of the original artist. Strong eye for detail, consistency, and visual storytelling. Collaborative mindset with the ability to take direction and integrate feedback smoothly & quickly. Preferred Qualifications Previous internship, project, or freelance experience in storyboarding or animation. Understanding of 3D/CG production pipelines. Knowledge of cinematic staging, editing, and visual continuity. Interest in feature film animation and eagerness to learn the storyboarding pipeline. At Swaybox Studios, we believe that great storytelling comes from diverse voices, perspectives, and experiences. We are proud to be an Equal Opportunity Employer and are committed to building a team that represents a variety of backgrounds, talents, and identities. We do not discriminate in employment opportunities or practices on the basis of race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity or expression, age, national origin, disability, genetic information, veteran status, or any other characteristic protected by federal, state, or local law.
