Junior Animator

Job content

Based in the heart of Leamington Spa, Pixel Toys have spent almost a decade pushing the capabilities of mobile and VR gaming. We have developed multiple award-winning titles, including: Gunfinger, Warhammer 40,000: Freeblade, Drop Dead and Warhammer Age of Sigmar: Realm War.
As a forward thinking and innovative studio we are always looking for new technologies and techniques to develop and use in our games and make them even more engaging experiences for our customers.
We are excited to continue to grow our team and are always on the lookout for highly talented and motivated individuals, who are passionate about gaming and excited to join us on our ambitious journey!

The Role:
We are looking for a highly motivated Graduate or Junior Animator, to help deliver the animation and cinematic effort on a cutting-edge mobile title.
With a great eye for detail, you will assist in picking the best takes from professional mo-cap sessions, while supporting the wider animation effort; working closely across various departments. We’d love for you to come in and be an active member of the art team; contributing ideas, concepts and technical solutions in order to help us continue to build great games.

About you:
Working closely with the character art and technical teams to bring exciting characters to life, you will already have a knowledge of animation within Maya and will be skilled in both in-game motion and cinematic sequences, thus allowing you to communicate rich personalities through your work.
While it is beneficial if you join us with technical animation skills, motion capture experience and Unity (or similar) game engine experience, we would also look to support you in gaining experience in these areas.
