GIF animator

Storygrounds is looking for a fast, detail-oriented GIF animator to help bring a new wave of animated webcomics to life. We have multiple series in production that require expressive, high-quality GIFs on tight turnarounds. If you want to see the exact style, timing, and polish we’re aiming for, check out the animated panels in Beyond the Vale and Green Gang — these series set the benchmark for the type of subtle motion, FX, and looped animation we want to extend to our upcoming titles. You’ll be joining us during an active production cycle, where reliability, speed, and stylistic consistency are key. This is a great fit for someone who enjoys fast episodic work, creative freedom, and collaborating with a responsive production team. Responsibilities include creating animated GIF panels, working in After Effects or similar tools, implementing clean loops and subtle effects, and delivering on tight deadlines (48–72 hr turnaround is common).
