hi.
If u r looking 4 serious, talented artists (n not just d desperate), u need to give some more info than just d name of ur studios.

Who is Smid?
Where r u based?
Are u a new studio?
What type of animation r we talking about here? Realistic? Cartoony? Both?
What kinda benefits r u offering?

Character Design implies u r also looking 4 2d artists. Is dat assumption correct?
Detail ur request/ad n u will get response from serious ppl- me included.

Personally, experience has taught me that d best way 2 recruit talent is to host a Challenge or competition aimed specifically at d kind of service u want to render.
It also eliminates d plagiarism factor- unless ur a heavy web surfer, one can fool u by cooking up an impressive demo reel by lifting various clips online.

Just my thots.
Goodluck

hi

had typed an elaborate response but nairaland's spam-bot deleted it n banned my acct.
guess am still taking a risk responding again.

u need 2 provide more info about Smid Animation.

Who is Smid?
Where r u based?
What benefits do u offer?
Are u a new studio?

Animation is a broad field.
What type of animators do u seek? Those into Character Animation? Motion Graphics? Any and all categories?
What style? Realistic? Cartoony? Both?

if ure talking character design, that implies u seek 2d artists as well-
is that correct?, or do u seek only 3d artists with 2d skills?

detail ur advert some more, and i bet u will get responses from serious artists not just desperate ones.

personally, i have learnt from experience that the best way to recruit talent is to host a Challenge or Competition.

imagine a 'Smid Animation Challenge' outlining a simple task (in line with the type of output ur studio intends 2 give)
provide an incentive to participate, and u got yourself a live (plagiarism-free) interactive recruitment exercise.

unless you're an avid and knowledgeable web surfer,
u could be fooled by people cooking up an impressive demo reel by lifting clips online.
i speak from experience.

the art is still in infancy stage in nigeria n i doubt if u will get many professional demo reels to base your recruitment on.
by the time u discover the artists limitations it may be late and would have prolly cost u money.

again, if i post a clip from my reel, it will prolly be the result of collaborative effort from several people- designers, modelers, texturers, animators, post producers etc.
will u take us all on? or will it be a trans-studio contract? complicated huh?

simplify it.
post a specific task n ask for people who can do the specific task, that way u build n control your workforce yourself.

i don't presume to lecture u, but i think hosting a task specific Challenge, and giving more pertinent information about Smid is the way to go.
i know about 4 really good animators on this forum n i bet none of them have responded to ur call yet.

interest the pros by being professional yourself.

Good luck.
