Job Description
Probably Fine, an animated history channel, are hiring!
They’re growing their permanent animation team: recurring scenes, episode after episode, not one-off gigs. You get a real pipeline behind you: a fully-rigged character, an animatic, the voiceover, and a director who assigns your scenes and unblocks you when you’re stuck.
Role Overview
- Position: 2D Character Animator (recurring, part of a fixed team)
- Core Software: After Effects
- Workflow: animate their pre-rigged characters to a provided animatic + VO
Essential Requirements
- Style Adaptability: match their clean, snappy, deadpan look, less is more
- Comic Timing: strong instincts for comedic pacing
- Rig Animation: comfortable animating character rigs (puppet / IK) in After Effects
- Reliability: deliver on time and stay reachable (scenes connect, the pipeline depends on it)
Preferred Qualifications
- A genuine interest in history
- Experience animating for YouTube channels
- 2.5D camera / motion-blur discipline
How to Apply:
Send your reel/portfolio to jobs@probablyfinehistory.com Shortlisted animators complete a short paid test scene with their actual rig.
