They also work closely with software engineers to improve our proprietary tools, maximize efficiency of our workflow, and to ensure the animation that we create is exceptional.

They collaborate with other employees and solve hard problems that make products better.

Each of them has examples - that they can share - showing that they have done something particularly exciting that makes their work special.

Our animators’ work often utilizes:

  • Product-level thinking that informs intentional, meaningful decisions from concept to completion.

  • An outstanding ability to portray believable physical movement, strong acting, storytelling and performance of 3D computer-generated characters.

  • A detailed understanding of Maya; experience working with motion capture and building animation state machines.
