Role Description Atrium is a YouTube channel focused on bringing history to life through immersive visual storytelling, from exploring Hitler's final hours to recreating the conditions of Auschwitz. We're looking for a full-time 3D Camera Operator to help elevate the visual quality of our content. This is a highly creative role for someone who thrives on storytelling through camera work. You'll collaborate closely with the Channel Director to translate scripts into clear, compelling animatics that define the visual direction, pacing, and tone of each video. Your work will act as the blueprint for animators, ensuring every scene is intentional, cinematic, and engaging from the start. - Interpret scripts and define the visual storytelling approach - Create high-quality animatics showcasing camera movement, timing, and scene composition - Collaborate with animators to bring the vision to life - Propose creative visual solutions when needed - Maintain organized files and assets for smooth production workflows - Review final outputs and iterate based on feedback Qualifications - Several years of experience in animation (YouTube, film, or TV) - Strong proficiency in Unreal Engine (5.6.1 preferred) - Solid working knowledge of Blender for animatics creation - Strong understanding of cinematic language (composition, timing, transitions) - Ability to adapt visual style to different narratives - Experience visualizing complex, abstract, or microscopic concepts - Strong storytelling instincts with a focus on emotional impact - Proactive, collaborative, and fast communicator Requirements - Experience managing animation pipelines - Understanding of YouTube retention and viewer engagement - Interest in storytelling psychology and audience behavior - Willingness to contribute across different stages of production What Makes You Stand Out - You think in visuals first and naturally translate ideas into scenes - You care about pacing, rhythm, and how each shot impacts the viewer - You balance attention to detail with speed and efficiency - You actively study great storytelling across films, documentaries, and digital content - You bring ideas, not just execution Benefits This is an opportunity to shape the visual identity of a growing YouTube channel. Your work will directly influence the look, feel, and performance of every video we produce.
