In the short description it says that as an animator I would be responsible for creating and exporting realistic animations to bring their models to life. This would make this job something I am definitely interested in. While it doesn't exactly say what I would be animating apart from it mentioning characters, most likely human or human-like, and creatures. I am very much interested in animating these types of things.
Taking a look at what the requirements are as well as some of the optional requirements a small grin appeared on my face.
First of all, I noticed that when it comes to experience in software is asks for experience in either 3DS Max or Maya both of which I have used although I'm much more comfortable using 3DS Max that Maya.
It also says that one of the requirements is to have developed my art skills and strong portfolio as hobby/job experience or through a recently obtained degree. Thankfully I'm learning about putting together a portfolio as one of my modules so I'll be getting a better understanding of that this year.
They also ask for someone who is passionate about video games and that I would aspire to create games that meet my own expectations. Obviously I'm very passionate about video games but now that I think about it I often think to myself while playing games how things could be better in my own eyes or I get a bit annoyed if it seems like something is lazily made. I don't think you should settle for anything less than what you envisioned something to be unless it's out of your control or ruins something else that's equally important.
As one of the optional requirements is to have experience in modelling and/or rigging both things I would like to try and implement into my final project. Since this is a job for animators I imagine that knowledge of both modelling and rigging should help in the animation process.
