Develop 2D and 3D animations for video recreations, including aircraft models, flight trajectories, failure animations (e.g., engine separations, stabilizer jams), and environmental effects like weather or terrain impacts.
Use Microsoft Flight Simulator (MSFS) to recreate real-world flight scenarios based on official reports (e.g., NTSB timelines), capturing footage for integration into videos.
Collaborate with the script writer to visualize key events, ensuring animations align with factual narratives
Optimize animations for YouTube compatibility, focusing on high-resolution renders that enhance storytelling without graphic sensationalism.
Iterate on feedback from the video editor and team to refine animations for pacing and accuracy.
Stay updated on aviation simulation tools and contribute ideas for improving production quality in monthly video releases.
Requirements
Proven experience in 2D/3D animation software such as Blender, Maya, or Cinema 4D, with a portfolio demonstrating realistic mechanical or vehicular animations.
Proficiency in Microsoft Flight Simulator (MSFS) or willing to learn how to play MSFS, including custom scenario building, aircraft handling, and exporting gameplay footage.
Basic knowledge of aviation concepts (e.g., aerodynamics, flight controls) to ensure accurate recreations—prior interest in aviation history is a plus.
Ability to work in a fast-paced environment, producing assets for 20-40 minute videos with tight deadlines (3-4 videos per month).
Excellent attention to detail and commitment to factual representation, avoiding speculation in sensitive topics.
Bachelor's degree in Animation, Graphic Design, or related field preferred; 2+ years of relevant experience is a plus.
Must be based in or willing to relocate to Lahore, Pakistan, for full-time in-house work.
