Pepi Studios is a cinematic production house specializing in 3D animation, VFX, and visual storytelling. Our work blends artistry, precision, and storytelling to create immersive worlds for films, series, and branded content. We are currently producing a historical 3D animated web series, a period drama rooted in Indian history, culture, and emotion, and we’re looking for a talented Storyboard Artist to bring its vision to life.

Role Overview

As a Storyboard Artist, you will be responsible for translating the director’s vision and screenplay into compelling visual sequences. You’ll visualize scenes, camera angles, and character performances, ensuring that every frame captures the emotion, tone, and cinematic style of the series.

This role demands a strong sense of composition, pacing, and storytelling, as well as the ability to interpret complex scenes, including battle sequences, emotional drama, and cultural environments, into clear visual narratives.

Key Responsibilities

• Develop detailed storyboards based on scripts and directorial briefs for each episode.
• Visualize camera movement, shot continuity, framing, and transitions with cinematic accuracy.
• Collaborate closely with the Director, Concept Artists, and 3D Animation Team to maintain narrative flow and visual consistency.
• Interpret historical and cultural details accurately while enhancing the cinematic storytelling.
• Refine boards based on feedback and integrate timing, character emotions, and environmental storytelling cues.
• Create animatics or storyboard revisions to align with scene pacing and dialogue.
• Ensure that storyboards serve as a reliable blueprint for 3D previsualization and final production.

Requirements

• Proven experience as a Storyboard Artist for animation, film, or episodic content (preferably 3D).
• Strong artistic and storytelling skills with an understanding of film language, composition, and camera dynamics.
• Proficiency in tools such as Storyboard Pro, Photoshop, Blender Grease Pencil, or equivalent software.
• Ability to visualize historical or period settings with cinematic authenticity.
• Strong collaboration and communication skills, with an openness to feedback and creative direction.
• Passion for epic storytelling, Indian history, and animated period dramas is a plus.

Nice-to-Have

• Experience in 3D layout or previs.
• Understanding of lighting, character blocking, and production pipelines in 3D animation.
• Prior work in historical or fantasy-based animated projects.

What We Offer

• Opportunity to be part of a flagship Indian 3D animated period series with cinematic storytelling.
• A creative, collaborative, and detail-driven studio environment.
• Exposure to a full production pipeline — from concept to final animation.
• Competitive compensation based on experience and portfolio.
