- Check in with your lead and your team to update and be updated the current situation;
- Prototyping, key framing, or blocking an animation;
- Working on your animations, of course, from scratch or from mo-cap;
- Testing your animations—over and over—and validating your designs;
- Problem-solving your animations;
- Polishing your animations;
- Read the latest relevant academic literature in order to stay at the forefront of your field.
Qualifications
What you bring
- A minimum of 4-5 years experience in video game animation, or equivalent;
- Proficiency to communicate with all disciplines and to support and elevate the team in terms of visuals;
