The Refinery is an award-winning entertainment advertising agency based out of Los Angeles, CA. We work with all of the major studios producing social, digital, and print creative campaigns for theatrical, television & streamer clients.
We are looking for candidates who embody our core values – Refiners are talented, kind, client-focused, ego-free, and passionate. We work virtually but have maintained a culture where caring for each other remains a top priority.

Enough about us, here’s what we’re looking for:
A 3D OOH Artist to support high-impact entertainment advertising and out-of-home (OOH) campaigns, including 3D anamorphic OOH billboards.
When booked with us, you’ll collaborate closely with our in-house creative team to design and execute striking, perspective-driven 3D visuals that come to life in real-world environments, integrating them into After Effects compositions and helping with broader motion graphics and visual development tasks.
Responsibilities
- Model, texture, light, and render high-quality 3D assets optimized for anamorphic 3D OOH billboard executions
- Design and execute anamorphic camera setups and forced-perspective scenes using projection mapping tailored to specific display specs and viewing angles
- Apply basic animation techniques (object movement, camera moves, timing) to enhance depth and impact
- Collaborate closely with designers, motion artists, producers, account executives/managers, and creative directors to meet visual and technical goals
- Adapt assets efficiently based on client notes, format changes, or real-world display constraints
Requirements
- Proficiency in Cinema 4D and/or Blender and After Effects
- Prior experience with 3D billboards, anamorphic OOH, or experiential installations
- Strong understanding of anamorphic perspective, camera projection, projection mapping, and large-format digital displays
- Grasp of basic 3D animation principles (keyframes, camera movement, scene optimization)
- Proficiency in Photoshop and working knowledge of Illustrator
- Familiarity with motion graphics production pipelines and delivery specs for OOH and digital advertising
- Highly reliable, self-disciplined, and comfortable working independently with tight turnarounds
- A fast, reliable internet connection for downloading/uploading large files
- Knowledge of third-party render engines (Redshift, Octane)
Bonus
- Experience in the entertainment advertising or marketing industry
