About the Job

Our client, A Golden Globe-winning writer-producer with multiple Emmy nominations is seeking an experienced and talented animator for a personal scripted project. The project primarily involves using a suite of animation tools from Reallusion, potentially incorporating a game engine. The animation will be accompanied by voice-overs and sound effects (SFX). The desired animation style should mirror either a TV-level 2D style (e.g., The Batman) or a 3D style (e.g., Pixar), with the specific style to be determined based on the animator's expertise and the project's requirements. This is a single job opportunity with the potential for follow-up work, and the project is expected to take more than a week to complete.

Responsibilities:

• Collaborate with the writer-producer to understand the project's vision, storyline, and creative direction
• Develop character designs, environments, and animation sequences that align with the desired style (2D or 3D)
• Utilise Reallusion's suite of animation tools and potentially incorporate a game engine
• Create high-quality, smooth, and expressive character animations that bring the script to life

Requirements

• Proven experience in 2D and/or 3D animation for scripted projects, with a strong portfolio
• Proficiency in using Reallusion's animation tools and software
• Familiarity with game engines is a plus
• Excellent understanding of character animation principles, acting, and storytelling
• Strong skills in character design, rigging, and animation techniques
• Ability to work independently and manage time effectively
