Cinematic Animator
Blizzard Entertainment is looking for a talented 3D animator to assist our Cinematics team in creating the next generation of
our award-winning in-game movies.
The Cinematic Animator will be skilled at realistically animating the movements of humanoids, beasts and machines at a
level that lives up to the ever-increasing Blizzard standard of quality (see our trailers
for a small sample of this legendary quality). Ideal candidates for this position will also be able to demonstrate the ability to accurately animate
facial expressions as well as lip syncing. Though the Cinematic Animator's primary focus will be animating high-resolution
3D models, Blizzard highly encourages artists to apply who also have experience and talent in 3D modeling, texturing, lighting
and compositing.
Blizzard offers a fun, creative and technically challenging environment with excellent compensation and a full range of benefits.
Requirements
- Excellent 3D animation skills as demonstrated on your demo reel
