Now Hiring Writers and 3d Designers!
Stargate: Horizon is currently looking for additional staff writers as well as 3D artists to join the staff! In order to keep up with the writing tasks as well as getting to a point where we can release 3D images on a regular basis, we are looking for several creative and enthusiastic people to become a part of the team. If you are interested, please read the requirements for the respective positions carefully before applying.
As a Staff Writer you should:
- Have previous experience with writing in script format
- Be knowledgeable when it comes to screenwriting and know the standard format and structure of teleplays (if this is not the case, you'll need to be willing to learn; so feel free to apply anyway, but make sure to mention it)
- Have a general interest in screenwriting
- Be available for online meetings on a weekly basis
- Be able to work on deadlines
- Be familiar with Horizon, preferably be a fan. Otherwise you'd have a whole lot of catching up to do, as at this point it's crucial to know the series, it's characters and history in order to write it properly
As a 3D Designer you should:
- Have experience in CG designs
- Be available for online meetings on a weekly basis
- Be able to work on deadlines
One of the most important requirements for all staff members is to be available; in an ongoing production like this, things can evolve on a day to day basis, and it tends to get complicated when not everyone on staff is up to speed. So, as a staff member you should be easily reachable outside the weekly online meetings. You should be able to check the private development forums on a daily basis, and keep up with the latest developments, including reading the latest drafts of the scripts, on which as a writer you'd be giving notes. As a designer you're required to read the scripts, simply in order to get an idea of what it is you're actually designing, as most of the designs will be episode specific. But, of course, if you are a fan of the series, keeping up with the episodes shouldn't present a problem to you. Basically this just means: make sure to only apply if you believe you will be having the necessary spare time available to devote to the project.
Well, if you’ve made it this far, and you’re still interested, here’s what you will have to do. Please send an email to [email protected]. You should include a brief paragraph about yourself, including your previous experience in the category you’re applying for as well as telling us why you would like to join the staff. Please also include your age, and make sure to attach a sample of your work. In the case of 3D designers that should anything between two to five CG images, in the case of writers it should be a minimum of 20 pages of your previous writing, but naturally it can be more than that if you prefer. Both script and prose will be accepted, but script format is preferred.
And, to avoid any kind of confusion, please be aware that all positions are voluntary and unpaid!
Thanks for you interest. Hope to hear from some of you soon.

While Alex makes it seem like it's strict work and being on 24/7, it's more just being on enough so that you know the latest for the episodes that are yet to come. Since we'll have the entire 1st half written pretty soon, things would start off with 2.13. Many episodes already have ideas, but there's still opprotunity to pitch, as I think we don't quite have a full season yet.
