3D & Motion designer
5 months - Starting date: 01/09/2025
Netherlands
Looking to kick off your creative career in CGI? Join our talent program designed to shape you into a next-level 3D & motion designer. We’ll give you all the attention, feedback, GIFs, and high fives you need to grow into a standout professional. Our goal? To help you reach your full potential. During this internship you’ll swap the jogging-shoes for rocket-boots. One minute you’re creating a hero asset in Cinema 4D, the next you’re velocity-matching keyframes in After Effects and colour-grading in DaVinci. Need a quick look-dev? Fire up Octane or Redshift and let those GPUs sweat. Feeling experimental? Spin up a Stable Diffusion prompt, run a Runway Gen-3 pass, or knock out an interactive prototype in Jitter.
From day one, you’ll be paired with a dedicated buddy for 1-on-1 coaching and join a team of 40+ passionate designers always ready to help. Our hands-on workshops will sharpen your skills even further.
By the end of your internship, you’ll have gained valuable experience in the field, worked on projects for A-list clients, and built a portfolio that truly turns heads.
Please note: to be eligible for this internship, you are required to be living and studying in the Netherlands.
What you'll do
Turn sketches into moving worlds: Build 3D scenes in Cinema 4D, Blender, Redshift or Octane from first style-frame to hero render.
Prototype at the speed of curiosity: Whip up look-dev tests and motion studies; sometimes with classic keyframes, sometimes with AI image- or video-generation.
Polish every pixel: Dive into compositing, colour and sound-sync in After Effects or DaVinci Resolve so every deliverable shines, whether it’s a 4K brand film or a tiny push-notification.
Grow our asset library: Organise models, textures, lighting rigs (and AI prompt presets if that’s your jam).
Jump into brainstorms & client reviews: Present your work, take feedback like a champ and learn to balance creative ambition with budgets and timelines.
Spot the next big thing: Share new plugins, workflows or AI releases that excite you; your fresh perspective keeps us ahead of the curve.
