• A strong understanding of video game animation development.
• A high level of proficiency with Maya (and ideally Motion Builder).
• Experience with 3^rd-person weapons/behaviors and full body/bipedal animations.
• An advanced understanding of motion editing (re-posing, re-timing and plusing mocap data).
