  • Stop Motion

    Stop Motion is an animation technique, which sees an animator move a physical object incrementally between individually photographed frames so it appears to move on its own. It's a time-consuming, painstaking process but one which yields fantastic results.

  • CGI

    The advancement of computer technology over the last 20 years has served as a catalyst for the phenomenon that is CGI animation. From Toy Story to remastering classic movies such as Star Wars, this thrilling form of animation has helped blur the lines between fantasy and reality. And we're looking for someone who can push those boundaries even further.

  • Drawn

    Drawn / 2D animation is the oldest form of the craft and the rise of packages such as Flash has re-invigorated the category, with animations such as Dog Judo, Adult Swim and Modern Toss all proving that the method can be used to create some hilarious and unique characters. This technique allows for an animators' personality to really shine through, and we're looking for innovative animations to really push through the cutting edge of this category.
