Hey folks! We're looking for another animator for our show, SuperNews! It's a cartoon on Current TV, which Tom plugged a couple weeks back. I figured there might be someone here that's interested in a full time job that has good pay, benefits, etc. Read more on the official job posting:

http://losangeles.craigslist.org/lac/med /815375001.html

In case you hate reading, I'll mention a few important things really fast: This is a full time job. You have to be able to relocate to Hollywood. Although the job posting says no 3D animators, what it really means is, you need to have experience with Flash and not just 3D stuff. We're not looking to train anyone; we're looking to squeeze out your juicy Flash skills into a 90% pulp-free cartoon. I'm one of the few animators on the show, and it ain't half bad!

Don't miss your chance, send your stuff in soon!

Might I suggest actually contacting Tom or another site admin about this? They could actually hook you guys up with an official advertisement or something, and it could draw the more talented folk from the site to you guys. Current TV is pretty high profile in the flash world if I say so myself, so it shouldn't be too much of a problem.

Do you have any examples of those show though? What are you dudes doing?

gel gel.
It's Sqeezy.

Could you imagine us working together?
I'll come to Hollywood if you give me that chance.

The only program I want to animate in throughout all my life is my beloved Flash, I approve of every show using it's potential.
I probably won't submit anything, my tablet is still broken.
But cheers anyways.

Yeah, I think the wording is a little confusing; I didn't write the ad. It says "flash web developer" but that actually only refers to building websites and stuff. They just wanted to weed out people who were just Flash website builders or solely 3D animators and not Flash animators. If you animate in Flash then you're ok!

I am sending in my examples in just a moment that have some more professional work of mine you can't find on Newgrounds. I really think I'm a perfect fit for this, these symbol based cartoons are exactly what I've been doing with the last 5 years of my life.

Well I sent you guys a long email explaining my life, lol

I live in Cali currently so moving to Hollywood isn't that big of a deal, it would just be a matter of getting a place up there, financially. But If I get the job then it should all work out great.

I'm 19, so i'm old enough to get out of the house lol! only going to a community college right now, and there are plenty of places near LA i can go.

Well hope you look at some of my stuff, I can practically do everything in flash, and if you got the ideas I can sure as hell animate them.

Hey, sorry to revive this old thread, but I've been getting PMs regarding it. The position has been filled. Thanks to everyone who applied!

For the curious, it wasn't someone from NG. Competition is tough!
