Full-time

Bardel Entertainment

OUR STORY


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.

As a Colour Key Artist, you will play a pivotal role in defining the visual style and mood of our animated project. You will work closely with our art and animation teams to create colour keys that establish the palette and atmosphere for our production. Your work will contribute significantly to the overall look and feel of our project.

What you’ll be doing:

  • Develop and create color schemes that enhance the visual storytelling of the animated project. This includes selecting appropriate colors for characters, backgrounds, and props to convey emotions, moods, and themes.
  • Work closely with the art director, design team, and other members of the creative team to ensure that the color choices align with the overall artistic vision of the project.
  • Work with technical directors on light rigging.
  • Generate a color style guide.
  • Create color keys for the lighting team.
  • Maintain consistency in color palettes across different scenes and episodes, ensuring that the established style guide is followed accurately.
  • Clearly communicate creative ideas and intentions to creative director and other team members and be open to feedback and revisions to achieve the desired artistic outcome.
  • Rework Material from feedback and notes while maintaining a fresh perspective. 
  • Stay up-to-date with industry trends and techniques related to color theory, animation, and visual storytelling to continuously improve your skills and contribute fresh ideas.

 

What you’ll bring:

  • Experience on fully animated or hybrid feature films 
  • Strong drawing and painting skills
  • Ability to convey a variety of lighting scenarios clearly and consistently, with continuity of time of day and mood
  • Excellent knowledge of tools and software such as Cintiq, Photoshop, Adobe, Illustrator, and other design software. 

Pay Range: CAD $ 1,500 - 1,900 per week

This salary range reflects our current expectations for these roles as of this posting’s date. Your final salary offer will consider various key factors, including your education, qualifications, certifications, experience, skills, geographical location, as well as the needs and requirements of the business. 

Check out our  website for details on our benefits.

At Bardel, we recognize that flexibility is key to doing great work. Our hybrid work environment is a valued perk designed to support individual accountability and empower our teams to work where they’re most productive. We offer the choice to work remotely, balanced with intentional in-person time for collaboration, creativity, and team building.  This role requires in-studio attendance at our Vancouver studio during onboarding and predetermined Rush Weeks.
