The Jellyvision Lab needs Flowmasters (Interactive Media Producers) (Goose Island/Lincoln Park )

Sat, 26 May 2012 10:39 GMT

The Jellyvision Lab, Inc. is a small (60 people or so), creative, focused, and driven company, with a strong vision for bringing interactive communication to the web for Fortune 500 partners. Founded by the same folks who created the hit YOU DON'T KNOW JACK® game series, the Lab has expanded Jellyvision's roster of engaging personalities beyond virtual game show hosts to virtual teachers, insurance agents, salespeople, advisors. . . you name it. We're a digital marketing agency that has pioneered a new approach to interactivity called Interactive Conversation that allows machines to communicate more like people. Not in that AI robot sort of way, but in a radio/television, written-by-writers, performed-by-actors sort of way.

THAT'S LOVELY . . . BUT WHAT'S THE JOB?

At Jellyvision, the Flowmaster is much more than a long-forgotten 90's rapper and manufacturer of performance muffler systems. The Flowmaster, or Interactive Media Producer, is chiefly responsible for the way our products feel. As such, they must marry their media production skills with a firm grasp of conditional logic. The magical baby resulting from this marriage is a precisely timed, seamless, wonderfully engaging interactive conversation. By piecing together approximately one bazillion media assets (sound effects, voice talent audio, text, art and other elements) per conversation, Flowmasters help us manage our branching interactive experiences via our proprietary authoring environment, Talkshow. Read on for more details.

RESPONSIBILITIES

Ensure the seamlessness, ease of use, and ease of understanding of our interactive conversations.
Manage the basic conditional logic of our products to ensure a unique, individualized experience for every user.
Collaborate with multimedia professionals (including artists and composers) to create an engaging, delightful experience.
Record and master all audio elements in a production. This includes directing voice talent and utilizing sound effects.
Coordinate with programmers to integrate more complicated logic.
Review bug reports and triage them with our QA department.

Jellyvision's Flowmasters MUST:

Pay outrageous attention to detail. Seeing as you're the master of how our products feel, that means you must be detail-oriented in regard to timing, text placement and overall ease of understanding.
Have very strong logic and troubleshooting skills.
Have great creative judgment. You'll need to know funny, polished, clever, and clear when you see it, and when you don't, how to get to it.
Be tech-savvy. You will be working primarily in our proprietary authoring tool, so the ability to learn new technology quickly is a must.
Have a strong work ethic and a mind for deadlines. Our projects run on strict schedules, and you (like everyone else in this joint) must possess amazing time management skills and the ability to produce high-quality work under tight deadline constraints.
Possess outstanding communication and listening skills. The ability to give and take direction positively and constructively is key to what we do around here.
Be a collaborative contributor. To be a Flowmaster, it's important to work well with an interdependent team.
Be flexible. Being able to improvise and rework under tight deadlines is essential.

WHAT SKILLS MUST ONE POSSESS TO BE A MOST EXCELLENT FLOWMASTER?

You should have experience with / knowledge of:

Time-based media editing and production programs, specifically Adobe CS production tools.
Leading projects and collaborating with small creative teams.
Understanding of, and interest in, interactive media.
Media management and organization skills.
Basic design principles: composition, use of space, work with typography, legibility.

You will get bonus points for experience with:

User Experience Design and/or Interaction Design.
Any experience with HTML 5 / CSS 3 / JavaScript.
Directing Voice Talent.
Creating motion graphics animations with Adobe After Effects.
Any video production experience: lighting, recording, audio.

ANYTHING ELSE?

Yes. We only hire nice, bright, funny people who are willing to work hard. Jellyvision is a group effort and you must be capable of working collaboratively with creative, technical and sales types. Everyone at Jellyvision shares a commitment to excellence and a desire to work in a comfortable, friendly atmosphere.

ARE THERE ANY PERKS? Yes, we love perks.

Competitive pay, stock options and benefits. 401k with matching. And we pay 100% of the cost of premiums for medical, dental, vision, disability and life insurance for our employees (as well as a really nice chunk of the cost of premiums for spouse/partner/dependant medical, dental and vision insurance).

Casual dress and a flexible schedule. Come in a sweatshirt, jeans, whatever, like everyone else here.
Creative work environment. We are lucky to work in a place that is full of intelligent, talented and innovative folks. Although most hours the place is deathly quiet (we're a focused bunch), this is punctuated with hilarious outbursts and general merriment, which makes a nice way to spend the day.
Free food. Every week, we stock our kitchen with free healthy foods - sandwich, cereal and snack type things - that's fair game to all employees while it lasts.
Easy transportation. We're really close to the "L" and the Halsted (#8) bus (right by the new Apple Store and Mega Whole Foods if that's your kind of thing), and we have a transit FSA that allows you to dedicate pre-tax dollars to public transportation expenses. Since a number of our employees like to bike to work, we also have showers and lockers in the office.
Free parking. While we support using public transportation and muscle power to get to work, we know that driving is the only way to get here for some folks and we don't want finding a parking space in our rapidly developing corner of Lincoln Park to be a headache for anyone.
Did we mention our yoga class? We bring a pro instructor right to the office. Fully subsidized by Jellyvision and fully optional, btw.
Oh! And you should know that we have a massage chair. And not just any massage chair, my friend. It's the HumanTouch HT 5320 WholeBody Massage Chair. Feeling a little stiff? Sit down. Relax. Feel better? Good. Okay, back to work.

INTERESTED? Great, we look forward to reading your application -- make sure it includes:

A cover letter that highlights three reasons why you think you'd be great for the gig, focusing on how your experience or interest has prepared you for the position.
A link to your portfolio or other work if you have it.
Your resume.

TO APPLY, GO TO http://hire.jobvite.com/j/?aj=oxxqWfwa&s=craigs_list

That's it! You will receive an auto-reply confirming that we've received your application, and you will hear from us again after we've reviewed your application and decided whether or not to move you forward in our recruiting process.

Thanks for your interest in Jellyvision!

Senior Designer, Skilled Communicator, Aspirational Human Being (Chicago)

Wed, 23 May 2012 19:56 GMT
You see your clients as partners. You want to make good money but more than that you want to be in a place that values the power of your craft, is willing to invest in you and you can have a major impact on. You are strong, accountable, opinionated but low ego. You have high expectations of yourself and others and use critique to go from good to great. You are open, chock-full of great ideas and contribute to way more than design. You have a pulse on life, business and culture. You want to grow with people you like. You thrive in small teams. You are known for always having great ideas. You know when to follow direction and when to stand your ground. You are a persuasive communicator and respect yourself and others. You don't expect anything you haven't earned. You realize the value of a dollar. You are responsible and never fail on your word. You love beauty but understand business. Start-ups and other designers love your work. You may be experienced but not so much so that you are set in your ways.

That's the soft stuff, and if you get it, read on to the technicalities:
7+ years experience
continuous improvement is your mantra
your work is world-class (despite the crazy clients you may have had to work with)
strong across the board - brand, print, web, identity (no exceptions, provide multiple examples of each and more)
clearly understand the role of design in business
big and small company experience
proven innovator (provide samples)
proven success (i.e. awards, client sales, measurable action)
experience across the communication spectrum (b2b, b2c, nfp, social)
proven experience managing people (other designers, copy, web, vendors)

Street Art and Culture Magazine Contributor (Chicago)

Wed, 23 May 2012 15:25 GMT
Interested in writing about Graffiti, Contemporary art, Fashion, and/or music? I am currently working on starting an online magazine and looking for contributors. The main goal of this blog/magazine will be to bring all the street/contemporary art of Chicago to one place. It will be called Magazine 1871 after the Great Chicago Fire.
Think of New yorks, Wooster collective (http://www.woostercollective.com/#grid-view)
or California's Warholian (http://warholian.com/)
Meets High Snobiety (http://www.highsnobiety.com/)
Meets Etsy (your art work will be for sale)

Last month my blog received just short of 600 views, and I think we can multiply that by 10 if we get more people contributing and spreading the word. I will be the head Curator but in the early stages there will be some wiggle room, to what you want to post.

At this time we will will not be able to offer any payment but don't worry I don't have an idea about compensation for your efforts. If you are interested in getting involved or would like to know more about the magazine or compensation, I'd be happy to send you additional information. Email me:
