---

Our Client is a Hong Kong based advance VR game experience provider; apart from HK, they are live in 6 locations and 4 countries around the world (the #1 Activity in Hong Kong and Singapore on TripAdvisor) and they’re quickly expanding.

What will you be doing?

As a Senior Animator your role is to produce high quality animations for our VR experiences. Your animations will improve the feeling of immersion their players have when they are in VR. You will have the chance to own the entire animation pipeline, from concept to prototyping, keyframing, and finally delivering high quality animations throughout production.

Hands-on Animation - You are hands-on, working with the Art Director and the Creative Director to understand their vision and execute it with the animations you produce. You are an animator with experience in multiple facets of animation, and you loving working on a mixture of both cinematic and gameplay animations.

Collaboration - You love working closely with others to improve your animations and making sure they are right for the project. You understand how to work with Creative Direction and partner with the other members of your development team to ensure you deliver the best possible player experience. You are always eager to suggest ideas for animations to make the virtual worlds we produce more rich and immersive.

Versatility - You are also someone who enjoys the challenge of working on multiple projects at once. Our projects may also have different animation styles, for example: one project could have a real-world setting, while another could be set in a cartoon universe. Therefore, you are confident in working across different animation styles and can prove your versatility in your skill-set and experience.

Who they are looking for:

Production Focused: You understand the importance of being familiar with game design documents so you can work with producers to scope the animation needs for each project and deliver high quality animations on time.

Experienced: You have shipped a minimum of 2 AAA titles from concept to final, and you have a minimum 5 years of professional experience animating 3D games.

Strong Aesthetically: You possess strong aesthetics of character animation, weight, and movement. You can create character motions through a blend of key-frame animation and motion capture.

Able to take Ownership: You can provide animations during each phase of a project: from prototyping, to production, and then polishing final assets. You always test your animations thoroughly in-game so you can ensure they look good for their players when they are seeing them in VR.
