Job Description

3D Cinematic Animator (Contractor)

Position: Cinematics Animator
Type: Remote, Contract
Eligibility: 18+ only

About the Role

Paradoxum Games is looking for a Cinematics Animator to craft compelling cutscenes, narrative moments, and in-game cinematics for our Roblox projects. This role is ideal for someone who can combine storytelling and animation craft—building sequences that feel immersive, emotional, and visually engaging, while working within the technical limits of Roblox Studio and R6 rigs.

You’ll collaborate closely with our narrative, design, and art teams to ensure cinematic sequences enhance both the storytelling and the overall player experience.

Responsibilities

Animate cutscenes, story moments, and cinematic sequences using Roblox-compatible rigs.
Translate scripts, storyboards, and rough animatics into polished, cinematic animation.
Work with camera tools and staging inside Roblox Studio to achieve cinematic framing and visual storytelling.
Ensure characters convey strong performance, emotion, and body language, even within stylized Roblox proportions.
Collaborate with the Lead Video Producer, Art Director and Narrative team to maintain consistency with the game’s tone and style.
Optimize sequences for performance and smooth playback in Roblox Studio.
Iterate quickly on feedback and balance storytelling needs with technical constraints.

Requirements

  • Portfolio or reel showcasing cinematic animation (cutscenes, story moments, camera work, etc.).
  • Proficiency in Blender, Maya, or equivalent 3D animation software.
  • Strong understanding of film language, camera angles, staging, and timing.
  • Familiarity with CFrame based rigs (R6, R15), and Skinned Mesh (FBX).
  • Ability to work independently in a remote, collaborative environment.
  • Strong communication skills and a detail-oriented mindset.
  • Must be 18 years or older.

Nice-to-Have

  • Previous experience creating cutscenes in Roblox Studio.
  • Knowledge of lighting, VFX, and other cinematic-based properties in Roblox.
  • Background in film, cinematography, or narrative-driven animation.
  • Passion for blending gameplay with cinematic storytelling.

Compensation:

  • $20-25 an hour

The listed salary range is an estimate. Actual offers may fall within or exceed this range, depending on factors such as professional background, training, work experience, location, business needs, and market demand.

Please note that this job is only currently available to people that are 18+ and are based in the US! While we’d love to hire from outside the US, currently we’re not able to at this time.
