Facial Animator (all levels)

Description

Image Metrics, one of the leading facial animation companies in the entertainment industry, has multiple openings for ALL LEVEL Facial Animators. The company is based out of Santa Monica, CA. This role is a full-time project based position with a 40-hour work week, and possibility of overtime.

Key Responsibilities:
• 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 feature film projects. 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.
