• Ensure the accurate representation of scientific data and concepts, maintaining the integrity of educational standards.
• Work closely with the video editing team to integrate 3D models and animations seamlessly into the video, elevating the overall viewer experience.
• Contribute creative insights and suggestions to enhance the visual storytelling and educational impact of each project.
• Adhere to brand guidelines to ensure consistency in style and tone across all content.

Requirements

• A portfolio demonstrating your ability to visually communicate complex ideas.

• Solid 3D modeling skills, including the ability to process and manipulate data (such as topographic or stereoscopic data) into accurate 3D models.

• Flexibility and creativity to adapt to a range of visual styles and storytelling techniques across different projects.
