To help us breathe life into the characters for our latest next generation game, we are currently looking for an animator to join our talented character team...

This is a great opportunity to work for an award winning studio and help in creating the most stunning looking and believably animated characters for one of our eagerly awaited upcoming AAA titles.

Applicants are required to have an understanding of all animation principals, have a good eye for natural human motion and the drive to recreate this in game, using our in-house character pipeline.You will be responsible for creating game ready animations from motion capture data and building animation trees using our in house tools.

Experience of Autodesk Motion Builder is essential, as is the ability to work closely within a team of animators, artists, designers and programmers.

Obviously, we are looking for specific qualities in you to fulfil the role of therefore, if possible, we'd like your CVs to include certain assets:

• Any experience you have in Motion Builder and/or working with motion capture data


• Your CV should show your creative interest in the motion of humanoid characters.

We don't need to see all the work you've ever done but remember your initial application is based on the work you send, so think carefully about the work you include.

We get an awful lot of CVs to look through. Presentation isn't important and a selection of folders on a disk is fine. (Websites are great if they're easy to navigate and show images at a high res, but often they are confusing with small pixelated images!)

We ask many of our applicants to work on a small task in order to further demonstrate their ability. The Bizarre Creations animation task is now available online for any potential applicants to complete. It's also useful to help develop your skills, so check it out!

• Enthusiasm; a real love for the work.
