SHAPESTORIES STUDIO

Creating stories through film, design, motion & visual experiences.

ShapeStories Studio is a Kolkata-based creative production studio built around one simple idea:

Every brand has a story. Our job is to find it, shape it and make people feel it.

We work with brands and businesses to create visual content across advertising, branded films, social media, digital campaigns, product films, corporate films, documentaries, photography, motion graphics, VFX and emerging visual technologies.

Our work sits at the intersection of storytelling, production and visual craft.

We work with a multidisciplinary team of directors, producers, cinematographers, photographers, editors, designers, stylists, artists and other creative professionals to take an idea from concept → production → post-production → final film.

We’re a growing studio, which means we’re not interested in building a team where everyone simply comes in, does their task and goes home.

We want people who want to contribute, experiment, learn, solve problems and grow with us.

AND THEN THERE’S THE PART THAT DOESN’T GO ON A SOFTWARE CHECKLIST.

We care about skills.

But skills are not the whole reason we hire someone.

You could be an 8/10 technically and still be the wrong person for our team.

You could be a 7.5/10 technically and be exactly the person we’re looking for.

Because in a small creative team, how you think matters as much as what you know.

We look for

Problem-solving — 9.5/10

When something doesn’t work, you don’t just point it out.

You try to figure out what can work.

Ownership — 9.5/10

You care about the final film, not just the portion of the timeline assigned to you.

Energy — 10/10

You bring good energy into the room.

You make collaboration easier, not harder.

Curiosity — 9/10

You want to understand things outside your immediate role.

Adaptability — 9/10

Ideas change. Feedback changes. Deadlines move.

You know how to adapt without losing the quality of the work.

Attention to detail — 9/10

You notice the tiny things that make a good film feel finished.

Communication — 9/10





You can communicate clearly, ask questions, receive feedback and work constructively with directors, producers and fellow artists.

Team mindset — 9.5/10

You understand that great work is rarely created by one person.

WHAT IT MEANS TO WORK AT SHAPESTORIES

We’re a small, growing creative studio.

That comes with a very different kind of opportunity.

You won’t be one person doing one repetitive task for years.

You’ll get to work across different kinds of projects, different brands, different creative problems and different formats.

You’ll work with people from different disciplines.

You’ll be exposed to the entire creative process — from idea and pre-production to production and post-production.

And as the studio grows, your role can grow with it.

You might join us as an editor or 3D artist.

But that doesn’t have to be where your journey ends.

We want people who eventually want to:

Take creative ownership

Contribute to concepts

Work across disciplines

Lead projects

Experiment with new technologies

Develop new capabilities

Take on larger responsibilities

Help build the studio itself

We don’t just hire people.

We invest in people.

So we’re looking for people with a long-term vision — people who see this as an opportunity to build something with us, rather than simply another job on their CV.

⸻

THE KIND OF PERSON WHO WILL THRIVE HERE

You’re probably a good fit if:

You care deeply about the quality of your work.

You enjoy solving creative problems.

You don’t need to be told every little thing.

You can take ownership of a project.

You enjoy working with other creative people.

You’re comfortable receiving feedback.

You want to keep learning.

You are excited by new technology and new ways of creating.

You have good energy.

You want to build something long-term.

And most importantly

You want to be part of a team, not just occupy a designation.
