[tricky]

Blink Image are an established UK architectural visualisation company. We are currently looking for talented visualisers to expand our team.

Our projects range from luxury residential to major transport infrastructure projects, from product visualisations to large scale logistics .. and everything in between. To give you a flavour, current projects include CG Films for million+ sq ft distribution centres; the design, modelling and rendering of a futuristic bike helmet; luxury interior CGIs for a flat next door to Buckingham Palace; a promotional film for a school?s redevelopment; a collaboration with a local architecture firm to design and visualise facade concepts for an Oxford University department building; CGIs for major university redevelopments...we like diversity!

Ideally, you would work from our central Oxford studio, but remote working (still within the UK) would also be considered. You will have a minimum 5 years? experience in architectural visualisation, and have skills from 3D modelling through to rendering and post production. Animation, motion-gfx and realtime experience would also be of benefit. You should be able to work alone or as part of a team, have creative flair and be able to manage your time effectively as you will often be handling multiple projects and dealing with clients directly. We often work closely with architects and projects where the design is evolving, so keeping flexible is important. Many of our projects involve verification, so experience/understanding of the VVM process and accurate camera-matching is very important.

Please submit salary expectations for this full time position. High res samples of work and CV should be emailed to oxford@blinkimage.com

We look forward to hearing from you.

And now for the 'proper' advert:

CLOSING DATE FOR APPLICATIONS WEDNESDAY 28TH FEB

Blink Image is a boutique architectural visualisation studio based in the beautiful city of Oxford. We have been in operation for no less than 20 years, so we have a great deal of experience within the sector: we were one of the first!

Though known as an internationally renowned historical city with one of the World?s oldest universities, Oxford is also cosmopolitan and a major hub of innovation. We have some stunning buildings ? both very old and very new ? as well as the sort of cultural life and amenities you?d expect from a big city ? amazing historic pubs and excellent theatres and music venues mixed with bang uptodate retail centres like the Westgate. World-famous Blenheim Palace, Bicester Village and beautiful countryside are all on our doorstep. There are now no less than two mainline railway stations along with regular 24/7 luxury coach services directly to London (Oxford Tube and X90) and London?s major airports. Oxford is a buzzing place for a city of its size.

We are a friendly, creative team of 3D artists working on all manner of interesting projects from individual houses to luxury residential apartments, distribution centres to commercial HQs, university buildings to museums and art galleries. We have created high end visuals for jet engines, tree houses and guitars. We created a 3D model of a Caribbean island, produced a film that explores the benefits of tunnelling under Oxford and put a nuclear submarine inside a warehouse. Variety is the spice of life.

We try to push ourselves with each and every new commission, improving our techniques as a team and learning new skills. Our main 3d modelling and rendering tools are AutoCAD, 3D Studio Max and Vray. We make full use of Forest Pro and Railclone. For post-production, Photoshop is our primary tool, with video editing covered mainly by Premiere and After Effects.

We are looking for committed, dynamic and motivated CG artists with three or more years? experience in these tools to join our team and grow with us. If you have experience in realtime rendering (Unity/UE4), this could be useful.

What we offer:
Small, committed, friendly team of artists.
Salary negotiable and dependant upon experience.
A huge cross section of work from many sectors of the construction industry.
Close to London, but far enough away to breathe!
Normal working hours (occasionally you may need work later if a deadline is looming, but this is very much the exception rather than the rule)

What you offer:
You are a highly creative personality who is willing to learn and share ideas.
You are somebody who is passionate about design and keen to work closely with clients.
You are able to work on multiple projects effectively and efficiently.
You understand composition and know about photography.
You are skilled in 3D modelling, rendering and post production.
You have some experience in the creation of verified images.
You work well under pressure.
Minimum 3+ years experience in the industry.
Ability to work in Central Oxford (we are on the main line to London and also right next to Oxford Tube/X90 stops)

The positions are available immediately. If you are interested, email us your CV, a few high resolution samples of your work, your salary expectations and a cover letter telling us a bit about yourself to enquiries@blinkimage.com.

We look forward to hearing from you.
