Ability to adapt to new tools and tech

Fluent in Maya 

Strong problem-solving skills both technical and cross-department 

Ability to mentor Junior Animators 

Ability to think philosophically about character movement

Bonus points for…

An understanding of character creation (modeling, texturing, and rigging) is a bonus. 

An interest in participating in live previs shoots to help clarify tone, choreography, and pacing for mocap actors.

Experience with Gameplay Animationand/or leading a content focused team in AAA games

Major recognition in your field of work

Experience in adjacent disciplines such as quest design, environment art, programming, etc
