About us

Studio Moross is an 11+ person design studio based in Stockwell, South London. The current team is 3 motion designers, 4 graphic designers, 2 project managers, a creative director and a studio manager. We work predominantly in music, TV, and live, with a strong focus on branding and art direction. We use a non-hierarchical approach to project assignments, and support people in creating a job role that works for them and meets their interests and aspirations. There is often emerging talent working as part of the team, being nurtured through internships, work experience and mentorship programs. Our open and fair office culture is an imperative part of the fabric that makes up Studio Moross.

The well-being of our staff is just as important to us as the work we produce. We recognise that the creative industry is notorious for being a stressful environment with long, unsociable hours - often resulting in unhealthy office culture. So we implement shorter more efficient working days, leading to increased productivity and an all-around happier team. Any work outside of regular office hours is paid, in addition to the base salary.

Studio Moross is devoted to acknowledging and implementing diversity within the company. Studio Moross makes a conscious effort to address imbalances within the creative world by challenging all forms of oppression. Understanding higher systematic forces at play and hiring accordingly is crucial to their core values.

We are focused on building a diverse and inclusive workforce. If you are excited about this role but do not meet every qualification listed, we still encourage you to apply.

Job Role

We are looking for a motion designer to join the video team at Studio Moross. We hope to find someone with 3 or more years in a moving image role or freelance. Although we don’t classify roles as such, this person may consider themselves at a ‘middle weight’ level of experience.

This role will suit someone that feels they haven’t been able to explore their creativity in their current job or someone who is looking for a supportive team to work with and learn from after a period of freelancing. You will primarily be working on music videos, title sequences, broadcast design, live visuals, promos, and installations.

We are looking for strong motion graphic and 2D animation skills. Someone who is comfortable working in teams and delegating tasks. A graphic design background would also benefit this role. They should have an understanding of the creative process such as storyboarding and animatics, as well as the overall production process.

Software

Excellent skills in After Effects, plus supporting applications such as Adobe Premiere, Illustrator and Photoshop. Any experience using 3D or working with 3D pipelines would be a welcome bonus.

Tasks

Designing and writing pitches and treatments with the team

Motion design and animation.

Editing and creating video content.

Contribution to the early creative process, ideation and direction

Collaboration with the SM team, and freelancers.

Communication and meeting with bands, management, record labels and brands to relay ideas, collect and respond to feedback.

Attending onsite production rehearsals across the world for TV and live music performances.

Working with project managers to organise projects, freelancers and resources.

Post COVID - This job will bring exciting opportunities to travel and develop creative and then implement it with the support of the rest of the team. Seeing a project from start to finish, and then published on TV or on a stage is a huge part of the job.

Clients Include: Nike, Spotify, MTV, Disclosure, Sam Smith, Nickelodeon, Uniqlo, Kylie, The BFI.

How We Work

We work quickly and often manage multiple projects at once so you will need to be comfortable multitasking. At Studio Moross our projects have shorter, faster lead times so we often see projects through from start to finish. Our working process is collaborative and we often work as a team to complete projects. With TV and Music clients, our turn arounds are often quick but give us a lot of creative freedom in our work.

What We Don’t Do!

We don’t do character animation or VFX work. The music industry often has smaller budgets, therefore we don’t have the luxury of lots of research and development - our ideation is quick and relies on the confidence and creativity of our team members. We turn around work quickly - so we don’t get time to be super precious, the plus side to that is you will see work out in the world and so will your peers, and that is a very rewarding part of the job.
