What we're looking for:

  • Advanced understanding of animation principles (timing, weight, posing, motion).
  • Experience animating various characters and creatures (stylized and realistic).
  • Ability to create animations enhancing gameplay while meeting design and technical constraints.
  • Experience with game engines (e.g., Unreal Engine).
  • Strong storytelling and visual communication skills.
