  • Illustrate a proficient command of weight, timing, and posing through your ability to manipulate motion capture data and key-frame animation.
  • A deep passion for game development and a keen awareness of current titles and industry trends will set you apart.
DESIRABLE (NOT REQUIRED):
  • Experience working on console games or RPG games. Skills in motion capture and facial animation.
This is a phenomenal opportunity to contribute to world-class games alongside a talented and collaborative team at one of the industry's most thrilling first-party game studios.
