They need to read instantly on screen, feel native to the world of the story, and help move the narrative forward.\nThe Role\nWe are looking for someone with a natural eye for design who we can mentor to create interactive and moving UI design mockups for phones, tablets and computers inside the worlds of film and tv productions in Vancouver.\nWhile a natural gift in creating believable user interfaces is a must, we’re willing to train the right candidate on motion (After Effects) and interaction design (Protopie). Any existing experience with those things is a massive plus.\nThis internship is built for a new graduate who wants to learn how strong visual design translates into production-ready screen graphics. You do not need to arrive knowing every tool perfectly, but you do need to show strong taste, originality, curiosity, and the ability to improve quickly through feedback.\nWhat You Will Learn and Support\nCreate UI design mockups for phones, tablets, computers, websites, apps, and story-specific screen moments.\nSupport the design of screen graphics that feel believable inside film and television worlds.\nLearn how to think about readability, visual hierarchy, typography, timing, and production context.\nWork from references, notes, and creative direction while developing your own design judgment.\nReceive mentorship on motion in After Effects and interaction design in ProtoPie, depending on project needs and your current skill level.\nPractice preparing files clearly so work can be reviewed, revised, animated, or handed off cleanly.\nSoftware Knowledge\nAdobe Illustrator or Figma\nAdobe Photoshop\nAdobe After Effects\nProtopie (bonus)\nPortfolio\nPortfolio designs should be created entirely by you, without the aid of templates or AI. Feel free to submit school or personal projects, we want to see your best work and understand your eye for design. As we are creating interfaces for film & tv, we’re more interested in stunning visuals than UX breakdowns.\nPortfolio submission requirement\nThe required portfolio pieces must be submitted with the application. Bonus work should also be submitted with the application if available.\nRequired - must be submitted with the application\nPhone app mockup (ie. messages, social media, dating, etc.)\nWebsite mockup (ie. news article, forum, online store, etc.)\nBonus - submit with the application if available\nDesktop app mockup (ie. point of sale system, mapping, cctv viewer, etc.)\nMedical device interfaces (ie. vitals, ultrasound, mri, x-ray, etc.)\nFUI / “Fantasy User Interfaces”, (ie. a spaceship controls, mapping, comms, etc.)\nGaming interfaces (ie. pause screen, in-game overlay, etc.)\nYou Will Do Your Best Work Here If You...\nhave a strong natural eye for believable interface design.\nare curious, coachable, and serious about getting better fast.\ncare about stunning visuals, typography, hierarchy, composition, and screen readability.\ncan hear feedback, apply it quickly, and stay open while the work improves.\nare excited by film and television, and by the idea of designing screens that live inside a story world.\ntake ownership of your portfolio, your learning, and the quality of what you submit.\nThis Role Is Probably Not a Fit If...\nyour portfolio relies on templates, AI-generated work, or projects you cannot fully explain as your own.\nyou are mainly interested in UX case studies, research documentation, or product strategy rather than visual interface design for screen.\nyou need every creative decision over-prescribed before you can begin.\nyou struggle to take feedback or revise quickly.\nyou are not excited by the visual language of film, TV, games, or cinematic interface design.\nWhat Strong Candidates Usually Bring\nTypical level: New graduate or summer internship candidate with strong school or personal work.\nCore tools: Adobe Illustrator or Figma, Adobe Photoshop, Adobe After Effects.\nHelpful extra: ProtoPie experience or curiosity.\nStrong indicators: Original portfolio work, believable UI instincts, strong visual taste, typography, coachability, and clear ownership of the work submitted.\nApplication Process\nWe keep the process focused and respectful of candidate time. Applicants should submit their application materials with the required portfolio pieces included.\nPortfolio + application: We look for originality, visual judgment, strong UI instincts, and whether the candidate understands the type of work this internship supports.\nRequired portfolio review: The phone app mockup and website mockup must be submitted with the application.\nBonus portfolio review: Additional desktop, medical, FUI, or gaming interface work should be included with the application if available.\nInterview: Selected candidates may be invited to discuss their work, design choices, coachability, and interest in film and television screen graphics.\nA Note From Us\nIf you are a new graduate with a strong natural eye for UI design, original work, and the desire to learn how screen interfaces are created for film and television, we would like to see your portfolio. We care about talent, taste, ownership, coachability, and the quality of your eye.
