3D Motion Graphics Instructor (Vancouver)
at Human Resources (Anywhere)
Vancouver Film School programs focus on industries that use moving images, graphics, sound and text as fundamental components for communication, information and story. VFS programs regularly and continually evolve in response to the current industry methodology, technology and need. VFS offers world recognized, full-time, one-year programs in Film Production, 3D Animation & Visual Effects, Classical Animation, Digital Character Animation, Sound Design, Writing, Acting, Makeup Design, Digital Design, Game Design, Foundation Visual Art & Design and Entertainment Business Management. These one year programs are intensive, focused on the field of study and immerse students in industry-like settings and situations in order to best prepare them for work in their chosen field.
VFS is currently accepting applications for the position of 3D Motion Graphics Instructor in our Digital Design Department.
We’re seeing a 3D instructor to teach the 3D Motion Graphics 1 course, which starts the week of Monday, August 30, as well as the 3D Motion Graphics 2 course, which begins the following term. Both courses will focus on teaching motion design principles using Cinema 4D.
Job Scope
Reporting to the Head of Digital Design, the Instructor of 3D for Motion Graphics is responsible for delivering curriculum effectively and providing feedback to students. The Instructor has a deep knowledge of the principles of Motion Graphics.
The right candidate for this role has a command of both Cinema 4D and After Effects, and can teach a compelling and instructional course that combines the two. The curriculum is focused on visual effects and compositing wherein we use those two apps with tools like PFTrack and HDRIs to create animations that fuse the real and unreal in meaningful ways (e.g., a 3D object dropped into real-world footage and made to match seamlessly). The content covered includes:
• Matchmoving
• Compositing fundamentals
• 3D Painting (using C4D's built-in BodyPaint)
• Rotoscoping
• Planar tracking
• HDRI (creating and using)
• C4D-to-After Effects workflow
The ideal instructor is, first and foremost, an artist and an inspirer — someone who lives and breathes great motion graphics, is plugged into the latest and greatest, and makes their living creating awesome work.
The first course — 3D Motion Graphics 1 — comes complete with content (from slides to research to point-by-point lesson plans ready-to-teach), as well as a thorough hand over briefing and hand-holding from the current instructor. The second course — 3D Motion Graphics 2 — is open for the instructor to make into his/her own creation, with the emphasis being on showing the bleeding edge in mograph & 3D.
Core Responsibilities:
• Working from a course syllabus, adapt lesson plans detailing what will be taught and how the course material will be delivered.
• In consultation with other staff, develop innovative mechanisms to teach 3D for Motion Graphics techniques.
• Work closely with the Head of Department to ensure class curriculum is accurate, up-to-date and communicated to students in a clear and concise manner.
• Instruct students on Motion Graphics techniques that are important to design and game design.
• Provide students with guidance on issues relating to Motion Graphics.
• Instruct students on the various technical problems encountered during Motion Graphics.
• Mentor students through the various snags encountered during Motion Graphics.
• Provide students with regular feedback.
Skills, Experience, and Education:
• Post-secondary certificate, diploma or degree (or equivalent) and/or 3 years industry experience or software certification where applicable.
• Demonstrable familiarity and experience with 3D for Motion Graphics, specifically Cinema 4D.
• Ability to lead workshops, lectures and seminars.
• Excellent communication, organizational, time management and interpersonal skills.
• Critical thinking and problem solving skills.
