Since 2014 DNEG's Feature Animation division has been collaborating with filmmakers and IP owners to create high-end animated feature films. Currently in production on major animated features we are looking for new talent to join our growing team. Thriving on collaboration and the creative energy it provides, we will craft together spectacular visuals and bring to life the vision of both major Hollywood studios and independent productions! 

Working closely with our Head of Animation, Animation Supervisors and fellow Animators, as an Animator you will be responsible for creating believable animation with convincing performances and motion. You will have the ability to create movement for digi-doubles, creatures, characters, cameras and rigid body animation. Delivering work to strict deadlines, you will be aware of project schedules and work hard to achieve these goals.

Communicating with the team is key and you must be willing to take notes and direction well. The animation team culture and environment is hugely important at DNEG so you must be capable for working with your peers and mentoring those around you.
