thank you!
A human reads every application here, not a filter. If there's a fit, you'll hear from us. Either way — keep making things move!
Show us the work,
not the buzzwords
We're a small studio, so every person shapes what we make. Here's what actually catches our eye.
- A reel we can't scroll pastFive strong seconds beat a five-minute showreel. Show the work you'd want to make more of — and tell us what part was yours.
- Craft over softwareTiming, weight, easing, taste. Tools are learnable; a good eye takes longer. If your keyframes feel right, we'll notice.
- You finish thingsPersonal projects, college films, silly loops — anything that shows you can take an idea all the way to done.
- You ask good questionsBriefs are never complete. The people who do well here poke at the problem before opening After Effects.
- You're easy to work withFeedback lands better when nobody's guarding their ego. We'd rather be kind and honest than clever.
No black holes,
no endless rounds
Four steps, and you'll always know where you stand. Usually two to three weeks, start to finish.
We read every application ourselves — no filter, no bot scoring your CV.
Thirty minutes on a call. Your work, our work, what you want to get better at.
Only if it helps us both decide — kept short, and always paid.
Scope, money and start date in writing. Questions welcome before you sign.
The practical bits
- Where we are
- Gurugram, India. We work together in the studio a few days a week, and remotely the rest.
- Who we're usually after
- Motion designers, 2D animators, 3D artists, illustrators, graphic designers and video editors.
- Freelancers
- Always welcome. Tell us how you charge and how your plate looks — we'll keep you on the list and reach out when a project fits.
- Interns
- Yes, and they're paid. You'll be on real projects, not fetching references all day.
- No open role right now?
- Apply anyway. Most of our hires came from applications that arrived before we were hiring.
- What we can't do
- Unpaid work, spec pitches, or "make a full ad and we'll see". Not now, not ever.
One small ask: keep your links open. Most applications we can't move forward are simply Drive links we couldn't open, or reels behind a password we don't have. If yours is protected, drop the password in the form.
Something we haven't covered? Write to namaste@gillu.studio — a person replies.
Gillu Studio hires on craft and character, and welcomes applicants of every background, gender, caste, religion, age and ability. If you need any adjustment to the process, just say so in the form — we'll sort it out.
