Character Animator
Contract Work – Character Animator
Shikigami Games is dedicated to using artificial intelligence to make interesting, intelligent characters for new types of non-violent video games. We're currently working on PaperDoll Fashion Reaction, a fashion game in which the dolls react (strongly) to how you dress them. We communicate all of this through facial expressions and animations. Needless to say, we need a good animator. The game design sheet calls for 120 animations. We've completed 50, still need 70. Animations are a few seconds long and include clapping, jumping and falling to the ground kicking and screaming. For an example of current animations (done by an animator we're quite happy with), see the video below. Work is done in 3dsMax 2010. Work Process and Payment - To be honest, we haven't given this a lot of thought. It's on our list, but so are a lot of other things. We have very big plates. If you have ideas, let us know.
