Animator

The animator creates animation for characters and/or objects based on rigged 3D models, and contributes to the visual elements of the gameplay and/or cut scenes.

The main and routine tasks of the animator are to:

• Apply animation principles to create high-quality animations while optimizing them to meet technical constraints and making any changes that are requested based on the artistic direction
• Understand and manipulate Mo Cap data for use in game animation systems
• Imagine animation systems that meet game needs in collaboration with team members from other trades and be able to document and explain the systems to new and/or less experienced team members
• Work in close collaboration with the animation director, art director, game designers and programmers to understand the quality objectives, gameplay intentions and engine capacities in order to anticipate the in-game look of the animations
• In collaboration with the immediate supervisor, help estimate the time required to carry out own tasks and manage time to meet deadlines
• Report any potential animation-related issues to the immediate supervisor
• Be able to quickly prototype animation systems that will serve as a basis for animation-and gameplay-related discussions
• Carry out all other related tasks
