We are looking for a highly skilled 3D Animator to join our company, who has proven experience in the relevant industry and must bring an imagined universe and its characters to life. Everything within frame has scope, weight, and meaning. Animators need to be able to visualize new worlds into being. Our ideal candidate will have the expertise on modern 3D Animation software and be skilled at every step the animation process, from the concept to the final deliverable. The movements and trajectories created by an animator are inputted into the relevant software as mathematical equations which are then rendered via a graphics processing unit that outputs the final animation in what's called a 'playblast'. This is then reviewed by supervisors, directors, and clients for approval.
The candidate should be able to take direction from written or spoken ideas and convert them into the 3D character animation with character rigging and skinning, camera angles as directed, properties objects' animated movement that connects with our audiences. The candidate should have the real world conceptual mind to create/produce the 3D animators that looks genuine.
