Someone who can look at a script and immediately begin thinking about:

Story → Visual Language → Composition → Camera → Staging → Performance → Environment → Lighting → Mood → Editing → Final Impact

If you have the experience and creative vision to shape how an animation project looks, feels, and tells its story, we would love to hear from you.
