Job Description:

We are seeking a versatile and technically elite Visual Storyteller to join our production team in Abuja. In the modern media landscape, success is defined by "Narrative Immersion", the ability to weave together raw footage and illustrative art into a seamless, high-impact story. This role is designed for a "Creative Architect" with 4 years of experience who can blend the manual grit of Character Illustration with the sophisticated "invisible editing" required to produce polished film pieces.

Your mission is to ensure "Zero-Friction Storytelling and Brand Excellence." You will be the bridge between production and post-production: responsible for everything from interpreting scripts and assembly sequencing to creating character-driven illustrations and motion graphics. If you possess "Cinematic Pacing," a mastery of Adobe Creative Suite, and a portfolio that showcases both narrative flow and artistic adaptability, we want you to drive our creative output.

Requirements:

• AV Enhancement: Synchronize dialogues, music, and sound effects. Perform professional color correction and apply visual effects to enhance the emotional impact of the scene.

2. Character Illustration & Cartooning

• Sequential Artistry: Convey narrative, emotion, and humor through high-level sequential art or single illustrations, utilizing exceptional drawing fundamentals (anatomy, perspective, and composition).

• Stylistic Adaptability: Adapt your artistic voice to suit various brand projects, moving between different cartooning styles for webcomics, social media, or editorial content.

• Digital Painting: Utilize drawing tablets and industry-standard software (Photoshop/Illustrator) to produce print-ready and digital-optimized creative assets.

3. Multi-Platform Output & Technical Innovation

• Motion Graphics & Animation: Leverage After Effects to create basic motion graphics and titles, and apply animation principles to bring static illustrations to life.

• Cross-Departmental Synergy: Consult with production stakeholders to align creative direction across websites, Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube.

• Asset Governance: Organize and maintain project files, raw footage, and archives to ensure high workflow efficiency and easy retrieval for future use.
