Artist Needed in Sacramento (And you get to work with me!!)

Smart?  Talented?  A little “off-center”?  Read on!

1331Creative, the marketing team at KOVR/KMAX in Sacramento, CA is looking for a highly creative artist to join our award-winning group.

This CBS-owned duopoly is not your typical(boring) TV station.  Nope.  We have fun.  We take chances.  We even make a few misatkes. 

We do it all in the spirit of creativity.  Our goal is to produce smart work, exceed client/viewer expectations and have a blast doing it.

This position will work on high-end projects with the station’s commercial production team as well as the promotion and art peeps. 

We’re a little weird.  A lot geeky.  And we love to laugh… often.

Sounds like your kind of place?  Before you march into your boss’s office and quit… here’s what we need from you:

• A killer reel! (you’d be surprised how many resumes we get without a reel… we need to see what you can do!)
• Expert knowledge of After Effects, Photoshop, Illustrator, Final Cut Pro and Star Wars
• A passion for producing motion graphics that break through the clutter
• You MUST be a team player who enjoys collaborating and brainstorming while discussing Sharknado
• C4D & compositing experience bumps you to the top of the list
• Ability to shoot video and still photography along with experience directing talent is a huge plus
• Sharp attention to detail and accuracy;  ability to make tight deadlines
• Agency or post house experience preferred

Head to CBSSacramento.com for more details.  It's a great place to work... in a great place to live.  

**Note:  Star Wars knowledge can be substituted with SNL knowledge, if you want to really get in good with me.  :)
