What does an animation writer do?

An Animation Writer creates scripts, dialogue, and storylines for animated films, TV shows, or web series. They collaborate with directors, animators, and producers to develop engaging narratives that align with the project's tone and audience. Their job includes writing episode scripts, crafting character arcs, and sometimes contributing to world-building. Strong storytelling skills and an understanding of animation formats are essential for success in this role.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as an animation writer?

To thrive as an Animation Writer, you need strong storytelling skills, an understanding of visual narrative, and preferably a background in creative writing or screenwriting. Familiarity with industry-standard scriptwriting software like Final Draft or Celtx, and knowledge of animation production pipelines is highly beneficial. Excellent communication, collaboration, and adaptability help writers work effectively with artists, directors, and other creative professionals. These skills are important to craft engaging scripts that align with the animation's visual style and production requirements.

What are some common challenges faced by animation writers in a collaborative production environment?

Animation Writers often work closely with directors, storyboard artists, and producers, which requires balancing the original script vision with feedback and practical production constraints. Tight deadlines, evolving story needs, and coordinating with multiple team members can present creative and logistical challenges. Flexibility and openness to revision are essential, as scripts often undergo several drafts to match animation timing, character development, and visual storytelling. This collaborative process is rewarding and helps ensure the final product is both narratively compelling and feasible for animation.

Job description

Storyboard Artist (PH) – Lucasfilm Animation

Lucasfilm Animation Ltd., the creators of the Emmy award‑winning animation series “Star Wars: The Clone Wars” and the highly successful animation series “Star Wars: Maul – Shadow Lord,” “Star Wars Rebels,” “Star Wars Resistance,” “Star Wars: The Bad Batch,” “Tales of the Jedi” and “Tales of the Empire” are looking for a Floater Storyboard Artist who reflects the innovative spirit, creative talent, production excellence, collaborative mindset and passion for great filmmaking that defines Lucasfilm Ltd.


The Floater Storyboard Artist works closely with a variety of writers, story artists, and directors to convey the narrative through visual storytelling techniques in a 3D computer graphics environment. They work directly from screenplays and revision notes to set up the stage and cameras in a 3D environment. It is their job to explore the possibilities of each scene, capture them as shots with 3D camera setups, and edit their work together as movies for submission to the show's story reel. The Floater will at times work as a Story Revisionist, as needs arise, often working on multiple episodes.


They must be located in the San Francisco Bay Area. This position is considered Hybrid, meaning the employee will work onsite in our San Francisco office and occasionally from home.


What you’ll do

The 3D Story Artist handles composition, screen direction, camera angles, staging, posing, pace, and timing (all the while ensuring that it maintains and fulfills the story point). Work is done when final 3D camera setups are delivered to downstream production departments.


What we’re looking for

  • 5+ years in feature film or television production, or equivalent experience.

  • Bachelor's degree in Film, Animation, or Fine Arts recommended.

  • Reel containing examples of work in live‑action or animated film that exhibits a strong emphasis on visual storytelling, including staging, composition, and editing.

  • Competency in 2D storyboarding, or comparable form.

  • Must be confident working extensively with computers.

  • Experience with using 3D animation software – a strong plus.

  • Acting out the scene while working on it for the enjoyment of your coworkers – also a plus.


The hiring range for this position in San Francisco is $108,200 to $139,900 per year. The base pay actually offered will take into account internal equity and also may vary depending on the candidate’s geographic region, job‑related knowledge, skills, and experience, among other factors. A bonus and/or long‑term incentive units may be provided as part of the compensation package, in addition to the full range of medical, financial, and/or other benefits, dependent on the level and position offered.


Employment Type: Full time


Location: San Francisco, CA, USA


Hybrid: Onsite and occasional remote work
