Key Responsibilities

• 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.
