Compose and animate cameras with an understanding of basic photography and cinematography rules.
Work within the established pipeline and workflows, maintaining clean scenes and thoughtful organization of keys and curves.
Meet weekly quotas and revise work based on notes from Directors or Supervisors.
Participate in dailies, weeklies, and team discussions to learn and apply feedback.
Ask questions and seek help from senior artists and mentors when faced with technical or creative challenges.
Communicate regularly with Leads and Supervisors to stay aligned with production goals.
Actively work on improving speed, efficiency, and animation quality with each new shot.

Qualifications:

1 year of experience in an animation production environment or relevant academic/training program.
Familiarity with Autodesk Maya or other industry-standard 3D animation software.
