• Create compelling character performances, utilizing both key-framed and motion capture techniques to complement the game design and promote the artistic vision of the Payday universe
• Be able to prototype animation systems that will serve as a basis for animation and gameplay-related discussions
• Work alongside Design, Code, and your Peers to solve proactively any potential animation related issues to deliver content on time
• Estimate the time required to carry out your own tasks and manage time to meet deadlines
• Carry out all other related tasks
Must Have:
• At least 3+ years experience leading or influencing animation creation within the game industry
• At least 1 shipped title and 2+ years of experience working in AAA games
