Animator
Gasket Games is growing and we’re looking for an experienced Animator to contribute to a AAA client project. Previous experience with full-body and facial mocap performance data, for games or film, is desired for our team - especially if your previous work was for cinematic / narrative performances. Gasket is looking for someone with a critical eye for quality work that is comfortable working both autonomously and with a team.
This role is an 8-month contract which includes extended health and dental benefits, and paid time off. Only candidates residing in BC will be considered for this position.
What will you do?
- Work closely with a multidisciplinary team of artists, designers, software engineers and producers.
- Create high-quality mocap animations for use in-game
- Retarget motion capture body and face data onto character rigs
- Coordinate with development partners to meet quality and creative targets, adjusting animations where required
Who are you?
- You have experience in character animation, preferably in games development.
- You have experience with Maya
- You have a solid understanding of the animation pipeline: Generating animation files, integrating them into the game/source control and creating/modifying animation systems and state graphs.
- You have experience with motion capture data and applying that data to existing character setups.
- You are used to working with a game engine. We use Unreal but any relevant experience is useful.
- You are passionate about your craft and a continuous learner.
- You enjoy working with a multidisciplinary team.

- 20 vacation days per year, plus a paid studio closure over winter break.
