DICE (EA Digital Illusions Creative Entertainment), the award-winning studio based in Stockholm, Sweden, is best known for creating the phenomenally successful Battlefield franchise, the Star Wars: Battlefront franchise, and the very creative Mirror's Edge games.

As such, we are dedicated to providing everyone the chance to express themselves and be their very best with a common cause.

The DICE Animation team works with animations specified by the projects. This may be in-game animations, cinematic animations, motion capture, or setups/logic in our tools or in-engine. An animator can be proficient in one or many of the aforementioned areas.

You will work with motion capture data or create animation from reference. You will collect and record reference material for the task at hand. You will balance effort and quality against the intended purpose of the asset to create assets that live up to our visual and technical targets.

  4. Create briefs, review results and provide feedback when needed.
  5. Seek feedback on your own work not just from your lead or director but from other disciplines as well.
  6. Create previzes, block out scenes and provide examples or references from outside sources.
Qualifications:

You have artistic qualities and are excellent at interpreting reference and in-game examples. You have a solid appreciation and understanding of how things are moving in real life together with a sense of style and willingness to work with actors and stunt performers. You have a broad understanding of technical workflows. You are creating assets with efficiency, and being mindful of performance as well as production constraints.

  • Someone with 2+ years of experience as an Animator in the video games industry.
  • Excellent collaboration and team environment experience. You can provide structured, clear briefs and feedback to colleagues within and outside of the animation craft.
