Job description

Overview

Based in the heart of Leamington Spa, Pixel Toys have spent almost a decade pushing the capabilities of mobile gaming. We have developed multiple award-winning titles, including Warhammer 40,000: Freeblade, Warhammer Age of Sigmar: Realm War, and we’re now excited to be exclusively working on a new game, unlike ANYTHING we’ve done previously!

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

Join us as a Cinematics Animator to craft dynamic, high-quality camera sequences for our cutting-edge mobile title!

Working closely with lead and principal animators, you’ll bring our game’s vision to life with compelling cinematics and in-game animation. Your primary focus will be camera work, but your expertise in both in-game and cinematic animation will ensure top-tier quality and seamless fixes when needed. This role is perfect for someone with an eye for cinematic storytelling and a passion for animation.

About you

With experience showcasing your deep understanding of cinematography and dynamic camera work it's clear that you're passionate about your craft and about exploring new techniques and ways of working. You will also be joining us with experience using Layout, Previz, or cinematics for games (or related industries). On top of this you will join us with a strong grasp of animation principles, along with solid 3D generalist skills and broad CG knowledge.

Ultimately you're used to working in a structured and organised manner, with experience with Unity or similar game engines. With a passion for TV or game development, you're ready to create stunning camera sequences that elevate the player experience!
