Looking for an animator for a VR project! (Remote)

Question

Space is the Place are looking for an animator to join the team for our project Haugtussa VR, currently in pre production. Haugtussa VR will introduce a new and innovative way of experiencing and interpreting Arne Garborg’s poem (published 1895) from anOther perspective.

Our dream is to find someone who can help develop a unique visual expression of the virtual world for the project.

The project is a collaboration between director Dionne Elizabeth, producer/co-director Kristian Mosvold and composer/co-director Ketil Kinden Endresen.

The first stage of distribution includes inclusion to the VRommet database, a collaboration between Agder XR and Norgesfilm, available to all libraries, schools and museums in Norway.

Haugtussa VR is funded in part by NFI (The Norwegian Film Institute), Kulturrådet (The Norwegian Art Council), Bergesenstiftelsen, Zefyr Media Fund and Norwegian South Film Fund.

🎨 Please send us links to some examples of your work via hello@dionne.space - Hope we can work together!

*You don’t need to put together a portfolio or cover letter or any labour intensive ‘traditional’ application. Links to examples of your work are just fine. We encourage there to be ease in your process, so be you, show us work you feel most represents the style you love to create.*

✨ We believe that the most inspiring and innovative creative expression can be found out by the borders, beyond the bubbles, in the crossover artistic landscape, where people of all cultural and artistic backgrounds meet. So, we enthusiastically encourage candidates from all backgrounds, experience and approach to get in touch, *even* if you have little or no experience within the field of VR.

✨Humans who are: Neurodivergent (emergent), and/or queer, and/or trans, and/or non-binary, and/or black, and/or people of colour, and/or disabled, and/or are immigrants, and/or anyone who has experienced systemic oppression are encouraged to apply.

Note: we aren’t interested in ‘diversity’ as a tick box performance. We believe in social change and disrupting oppressive power structures by being inclusive by default, not as an afterthought. We believe our diverse backgrounds and experiences enhance our storytelling and there is space and infinite possibilities for new ways of being.

🍔 A set hourly rate (60 GBP) and a minimum of hours will be agreed to make sure we can make our collaboration as sustainable and spacious as possible. See below for more details on this.
