Emoji Animators, Lottie

Twine Managed Project
Our client is a US based global leader of branded digital content, particularly, creating and animating emojis for iOS app. An exciting opportunity came up for you to join their team on a long-term basis – they are currently looking for animators who are confident in working with 2D animations via Lottie!

The client is trying to recreate iOS emojis in vector format, using Adobe Illustrator. The animations should be isolated emoji facial assets for 3 categories: eyes, mouths and hands. Each asset will be an isolated set of eyes on a transparent background. At least 100 assets for each category would be required. Animator(s) can start by re-creating the current animated assets that are currently in the app, but with better quality.
The ideal candidate(s) will have experience working with Lottie and are able to confidently work with their own initiative – creative flare is certainly required, and you will have the freedom to have a say and use your own ideas!
The style guide should follow standard iOS Unicode Emojis, but based on the limitations/parameters set forth which will be provided to shortlisted candidates.
