Role Overview

The Storyboard Revisionist occupies a vital position within the production pipeline, bridging the gap between initial storyboards and the final animatic. Your primary objective is to deliver high-quality storyboard revision panels on schedule, ensuring that all creative notes from the Director and Post-Production departments are executed with precision.

You will be responsible for maintaining the visual continuity and stylistic integrity of the series. This role requires a blend of artistic flair, technical discipline, and the ability to work collaboratively within a fast-paced production environment.

Key Responsibilities

Creative Revision & Artistic Fidelity

• Note Interpretation: Respond efficiently to creative notes and translate revisions during the storyboard review and animatic process. You must be able to take direction and pivot quickly based on feedback.

• Stylistic Consistency: Adhere strictly to the established quality and style of the show. You are responsible for ensuring that all drawings remain “on-model” and consistent with the project’s visual language.

• Visual Storytelling: Interpret scripts and translate narrative beats into visual forms that enhance the storytelling, focusing on clarity of action and emotional resonance.

Technical Execution & Pipeline Support

• Deliverables: Undertake revisions and diligently update the revisions tracker to ensure the production team has real-time visibility into progress.

• Time Bidding: Provide accurate time bids for assigned tasks to assist the production team in maintaining a realistic and efficient schedule.

Communication & Collaboration

• Department Liaison: Maintain regular, proactive communication with the Director and Post-Production teams to provide updates on progress and upcoming delivery deadlines.

• Cross-Departmental Coordination: Communicate with the Previz department as necessary to ensure a smooth transition of storyboards into the 3D environment.

• Approval Logistics: Issue clear approval communications to the Director and Post-Production departments once revisions are finalized.

Required Qualifications & Experience

• Professional Track Record: A background in producing storyboard revisions on several previous productions. We are looking for candidates who can demonstrate a history of successful deliveries.

• Industry Experience: A strong understanding of the animation production schedule and the critical nature of deadlines within a professional studio environment.

• Artistic Foundation: A good understanding of acting and animation posing, alongside a solid grasp of cinematography, staging, and composition.

• Collaborative Spirit: A proven track record of working effectively with production teams and Directors.

• Legal Requirement: Candidates must possess the right to work in Ireland for the duration of the 9–12 month contract.

Technical Skills & Competencies

• Drawing Proficiency: Excellent drawing skills with the ability to maintain high quality even when working under tight deadlines.

• Software Mastery: Proficiency in industry-standard digital software is mandatory, specifically Storyboard Pro and Adobe Photoshop.

• 3D Integration: Experience with 3D animation pipelines is highly desirable, as it aids in understanding how storyboards translate to a CG environment.

• Problem Solving: The ability to provide feedback to Production regarding recurring issues in board deliveries and assist in identifying practical solutions.

• Education: An Animation Qualification is considered a significant advantage.

Leadership & Professionalism Expectations

While this is a revisionist role, we value professionals who take ownership of their craft. You are expected to:

• Be proactive in improving current studio practices and revision workflows.

• Demonstrate a high level of self-management and the ability to multi-task across different episodes or sequences.

• Act as a positive influence within the team, fostering a culture of mutual respect and creative excellence.
