Does your idea of a good time include green screens, tight lycra suits and green balls, with someone yelling “Action”? Oh, yah you heard me…lycra and screens I said. Seriously though – we are looking for a super talented animator with experience using Motionbuilder to bring motion captured animations into our video game titles. We’re not all about mocap though – hand keying is also part of the gig as well … so bring your A game!

 

What you would be doing here at Insomniac Games:

• Creating high quality in-game and cinematic animations using motion capture data.

• Hand keying realistic motion on other assets that require animation including creatures, weapons, vehicles, etc.

• Working well in a highly collaborative environment with other animators, designers, and programmers, as well as the ability to communicate effectively and take direction well.

• Other duties may be assigned.

 

Tools and Tricks that you bring with you must include the following:

• Bachelor's degree (B.A.) from a four-year college or university; or two to four years related experience and/or training; or equivalent combination of education and experience, covering all basic animation principles and techniques.

• At least two years experience working with motion capture to create in-game and cinematic performances that go beyond the underlying motion capture and exude personality.

• Extensive knowledge of Maya and MotionBuilder.

• Advanced and demonstrated understanding of basic animation principles including squash and stretch, timing and motion, anticipation, staging, weight, and appeal.

• A fundamental understanding of creating animation content for video games.

 

If this sounds like the kind of opportunity that you have been waiting for – then we look forward to hearing from you! Please use the link below and apply directly to our website! Thanks!
