  • A good understanding of animation and an eye for motion.
  • A strong work ethic and a willingness to be involved in both development and shot execution.
  • The ability to work as part of a team in a challenging, changeable, and deadline-oriented environment.
  • Excellent organisation, communication, and interpersonal skills, with the ability to liaise across departments.
  • A good understanding of the entire visual effects process.
  • A familiarity with pipeline and workflow issues, especially working between multiple packages.
  • Adaptability and the willingness to learn new processes, software, and technical skills.
  • Experience of working under a Unix/Linux systems environment.
Desirable Experience
  • Previous experience in a similar role.
  • Programming/scripting experience (e.g. Vex, Python, and/or C++).
  • A good understanding of particle systems.
  • Experience of developing tools, scripts, and plug-ins to help streamline workflow.
  • Previous experience working with motion capture data.
