Responsibilities

Human Buddy, one of Telos Media’s brands, an animated medicine show where the Doctor and a cast of sentient living organs explore the human body, medicine and health through comedy, storytelling and animation.

Making every scene work.
You care about timing, acting, expressions, movement and all the small details that make 2D animation feel alive.
You don’t just make characters move from A to B. You think about what the character is doing, why they’re doing it and how the animation supports the joke, explanation or story.
You should be the kind of person who watches a scene and thinks:
“This could land better. I know what I’d change.”
Animate Human Buddy episodes in Moho, working from approved scripts and storyboards
Animate characters, props, backgrounds, transitions and other visual elements

Turn storyboards into polished animation while keeping the timing, acting and visual storytelling clear
Match the established Human Buddy visual style and keep your scenes consistent with the rest of the episode
Work closely with the Creative Director and other animators to maintain consistency across the episode

Flag problems early and figure out practical solutions rather than waiting for someone else to catch them
Keep your scenes organised and deliver them according to the agreed production schedule
Use motion graphics when needed to support explanations, transitions, jokes and other visual elements
Look for ways to make the animation more efficient without compromising the quality of the final video

Professional experience as a 2D animator
Strong Moho experience. You should be very comfortable working in Moho without needing step-by-step instructions
Hands-on experience with character rigging in Moho
Strong understanding of 2D animation principles, including timing, spacing, posing and character acting

Good visual storytelling instincts. You understand how animation can make a scene clearer, funnier or more engaging
Able to work within an established visual style rather than needing to define the entire style yourself
Very organised and able to manage your own scenes and deadlines
Comfortable collaborating with other animators and taking direction from a Creative Director
Good at taking feedback and turning it into concrete changes
Proactive. If you see something that could be better, you say so and ideally fix it
Comfortable working in a fast-moving production environment

You’re a Human Buddy, SolarBalls, MrSpherical or Telos Media fan

Part-time, with flexible working hours and regular overlap with the South America-based team.
You’ll need enough overlap with the team to collaborate, receive feedback and keep production moving, but we’re flexible about your exact working hours.
