What we're looking for:

• Strong stylized and pushed posing
• Great sense of timing, appeal, and character
• Character acting/performance experience
• Ability to tell a story or sell a character in a short animation
• Strong understanding of body mechanics
• Feature animation experience is welcome
• Game development experience is a plus, but not required

This is a remote contract position.
