Job Description:

Elsewhere Entertainment is looking for a Senior Gameplay Animator to join the development of an exciting new IP.

You will become and be part of a tight-knit team that prides itself on creating complex, high-quality and believable content.

Using your experience, on this project you will positively contribute to our studio — with a focus on inclusivity, mutual respect (for ourselves and our players), thoughtfulness, empathy, professionalism, and collaboration.

You'll help us by:

  • Using traditional animation principles, gameplay fundamentals and motion-capture to craft high quality animations and systems
  • Demonstrate a strong understanding of game design mechanics, 3Cs, AI behavior, narrative design, camera animation and facial animation.
  • Working with multiple disciplines and departments to achieve unified goals
  • Actively give input and respond well to feedback to achieve the polish level we need to deliver AAA titles
  • Troubleshoot tool implementations and suggest workflow improvements to increase team efficiency and creativity

You're awesome because you have:

  • 5+ years Professional Animation experience (or some combination of applicable training and experience)
  • 1 or more shipped AAA game title credit
  • Expertise and knowledge in game engines and building animation systems
  • Experience of the motion capture process, editing and cleanup
  • Strong animation fundamentals in human and creature movement (timing, weight, balance)
  • Ability to adapt to new tools and tech
  • Fluent in Maya
  • Strong problem-solving skills both technical and cross-department
  • Ability to mentor Junior Animators
  • Ability to think philosophically about character movement

Bonus points for:

  • An understanding of character creation (modeling, texturing, and rigging) is a bonus
  • Leading experience on a content focused team in AAA games
  • Major recognition in your field of work
  • Experience in adjacent disciplines such as quest design, environment art, programming, etc.
