Animator

Job Description

We’re looking for a character-obsessed Animator who can bring subtle emotions and high-impact sequences to life across both 2D and 3D formats. You’ll be working on original IP that blends stylized character animation with grounded motion and expressive nuance. This is not a plug-and-play role — we need someone with a sharp eye for gesture, timing, and anatomy, who can pivot between hand-keyed performance work and technical finesse in rigged environments.

The ideal candidate doesn’t wait for direction to make things better — you push a scene beyond what’s asked and understand how to serve both narrative tone and pacing. If your demo reel shows characters thinking before they move, we’re interested.

Responsibilities

• Animate high-quality 2D and/or 3D character scenes that communicate clear intent, timing, and personality.
• Interpret storyboards and animatics to create animation sequences that strengthen emotional and visual storytelling.
• Collaborate closely with directors, storyboard artists, and rigging/technical teams to troubleshoot and improve workflows.
• Work within production deadlines while maintaining creative standards — you can self-manage while staying collaborative.
• Contribute to daily reviews with thoughtful critique and openness to iteration.

Qualifications

Must-Haves:

• 3+ years of professional animation experience in film, television, or games.
• Strong grasp of acting, timing, and weight — your characters feel alive and motivated.
• Demonstrated proficiency in Toon Boom Harmony, Maya, Blender, or similar — with clear examples of performance-driven work.
• Experience animating facial expression and nuanced body language, not just action mechanics.
• Ability to match a style or shift between stylized and semi-realistic motion.
• Portfolio/reel that includes uninterrupted character animation sequences (not just isolated loops or VFX-heavy work).

Nice-to-Haves:

• Background in figure drawing or traditional animation principles.
• Experience working with motion capture cleanup or retargeting in hybrid pipelines.
• Familiarity with Unity or Unreal Engine for real-time feedback and animation previews.
• Passion for character development and story — you think beyond the scene.
