Original job description

For more than 35 years, Bardel Entertainment has been growing and evolving, yet at our core, we remain grounded in the creative roots of the craft of animation. Our pursuit of fresh ideas, techniques, and technologies is driven by the belief that together, through creativity and collaboration, we can accomplish anything! If you want to be part of an environment that empowers you to experiment, learn, and contribute to exciting projects, come and join us.

We're looking for a Senior 2D FX Artist to join our team on an exciting 3D animated TV movie! In this role, you'll bring scenes to life by creating expressive, stylized 2D effects that complement the 3D animation and enhance the visual storytelling. The ideal candidate has a strong eye for timing, shape, and motion, with experience creating hand-drawn effects that integrate seamlessly into a 3D production.

Requirements

What You'll Do:

Animate the 2D FX (e.g., water, smoke, dust, lightning, bubbles, fire, storms, shadows, blurs, explosions) to shape the overall look, mood, and style, enhancing the character, environment, or atmosphere.
Create and animate custom FX based on designs provided.
Re-purpose library FX for new scenes by changing the scale, colour, duration and intensity of existing FX.
Adjust effects based on notes from leads, supervisors, and directors.
Handle sequences of varying complexity, from simple to moderately difficult FX shots.
Collaborate with leadership, production, and team members to solve problems and ensure FX integration.
Engage in dailies, rounds, and team discussions, contributing to creative and technical improvements.
Adhere to pipeline workflows and technical requirements for seamless integration into the production process.
Maintain consistency in quality while meeting production needs.
Manage time effectively, working with production to stay on schedule.
Keep the team and production staff informed about progress, challenges, and solutions.

What You'll Bring:

Previous production experience as a 2D FX Artist or similar role in animation.
A portfolio that demonstrates:
Extensive experience using ToonBoom Harmony for FX creation.
Strong ability to develop a wide range of 2D FX (e.g., water, smoke, fire, destruction, transformation) that enhance character, environment, and atmosphere.
Solid understanding of FX animation techniques and principles.
Excellent verbal and written communication skills to effectively promote solutions, share knowledge, and incorporate feedback.

Benefits

Location: BC or Quebec

Duration: November 2026 until March 2027

Pay Range: CAD $1400 - $1600 per week

This salary range reflects our current expectations for these roles as of this posting's date.

At Bardel, we recognize that flexibility is key to doing great work.
