Understanding how characters move and interact with the world and entities in the environment is paramount to you as an animator. Animation is a part of your being - you completely understand that the personality and “life” given to a character via its animations can make or break the game experience. You desire to constantly re-evaluate and compare our tools and methodologies to other studios doing great work.

Candidate should exhibit an excellent understanding of character movement in a demo reel. Knowledge of how animation is critical to creating a unique product and evaluating that experience through the duration of the project is required. Also, one must understand how to emphasize, develop and refine the charisma of a character through movement. Candidate should also have an insatiable passion for growing and have a commitment to excellence in their work.

Responsibilities:

• Create high-quality, full-body character, boss and NPC animations
• Work with programmers to develop camera animations and motion systems
• Work with programmers on integrating animations into UE3
• Help game design by creating rough visualizations and animatics as needed
