Facial Animator

Description

Image Metrics, one of the world’s leading facial animation companies in the entertainment industry, has multiple openings for a Facial Animator based out of Santa Monica, CA. This role is a full -time position based on a 40 hour work week, but overtime may be offered. Compensation is between $18-$24/hour, based on experience.

- The artist will use Image Metrics' technology combined with their
own animation skills to produce facial animation of the highest
quality, suitable for next-gen video games and movies. Initial
training will be provided, but Image Metrics expects the artist to not
only adapt to using IM technology but also to adapt the technology
to their needs (i.e. if the artist identifies inefficiencies in the tools
and/or pipeline they should flag these issues with the development
team and offer solutions to the problem, not just identify the
problem.)

- Deliver his or her portion of an entire facial animation project,
meeting the time deadlines and required quality levels

- Help develop IM's next-gen facial rig for use on next-gen video
games. This part of the IM service offering is under continual
development and any artist working on such a project would be
expected to assist with R&D into future versions of that rig by
offering suggestions for improvement.
