Senior 3D Animator



Job description

About the Role

We are seeking a talented Senior 3D Animator to join our cinematic team.

In this role, you will be responsible for creating high-quality, believable character and creature performances for AAA game cinematics.

You will bring life to both stylized and realistic characters using hand-keyed animation, performance capture data, and advanced body mechanics.

As a senior, you will also guide junior animators, collaborate with directors to achieve storytelling goals, and help refine animation pipelines.

Key Responsibilities

  • Animation Creation

  • Animate characters, creatures, and props for cinematic storytelling sequences.

  • Deliver realistic body mechanics, expressive facial animation, and dynamic acting choices.

  • Refine and polish performance capture data when required.

  • Cinematic Storytelling

  • Work closely with directors to translate storyboards and previs into compelling animation.

  • Use timing, staging, and camera awareness to enhance dramatic impact.

  • Ensure animation quality holds up under close-up, 4K+ renders.

  • Pipeline & Collaboration

  • Collaborate with rigging, modeling, and lighting teams to ensure seamless integration.

  • Troubleshoot animation and rigging issues during production.

  • Contribute to pipeline improvements and animation workflows.

Requirements

  • 5+ years of professional experience in film, AAA game cinematics, or feature animation.

  • Strong portfolio/demo reel showcasing cinematic-quality animation (acting, body mechanics, facial performance).

  • Proficient in Autodesk Maya (primary animation tool).

  • Experience working with motion capture data and refining it for final delivery.

  • Strong understanding of weight, timing, posing, and performance-driven animation.

  • Ability to collaborate in a fast-paced, film-style production environment.

Nice to Have

  • Knowledge of Unreal Engine Sequencer or real-time animation pipelines.

  • Familiarity with facial rigging/blendshapes.

  • Experience with creature animation (quadrupeds, fantasy creatures).

  • Scripting (Python/MEL) for animation tools or workflow automation.

What We Offer

  • Opportunity to work on game cinematic projects with global IPs.
  • Creative ownership and input on character performance.

  • A collaborative studio culture with growth and mentorship opportunities.

  • Competitive compensation and benefits.
