You are applying for the job of 3D Cinematic Animator for the indie project Billie Bust Up! This is a colourful, stylized 3D platformer musical with a strong focus on storytelling and characters. The role requires remote full-time contract work starting ASAP, this may be negotiated if you are currently finishing a current contract, just let us know the date you’d be able to work from in your email.  You may be asked to do a paid art test. 

 

Despite its cheery exterior, this game has tonally serious, dramatic and dark moments that must be captured in an emotionally convincing manner by you as the animator responsible for cinematic cutscenes - gameplay animation not required

 

This position is remote so you will need to supply your own hardware and software. 

 

Skills and Experience Required

• We would want to see a portfolio but you are not required to have previous experience working in the games or film industry.

• Capable of collaborating with the other team members and responding to feedback professionally to ensure that the vision for the scene is correctly realised

• Discipline in self management of hours and work

• Capable of animating roughly 5-7 seconds of animation per day for one character (You will be given a paid art test before signing a contract so you have a chance to play with the rigs and characters. They use 2D faces, which makes animation faster and easier to manage)
