Job Description/Requirements

Role Overview
An AI Animator utilises artificial intelligence tools and software to create, refine, and enhance animations. This role bridges traditional animation skills with cutting-edge AI-driven technology to streamline workflows, generate creative outputs, and bring characters and stories to life more efficiently.
 
Key Responsibilities
1. Animation Creation Using AI Tools
  • Use AI-powered software (e.g., Runway ML, Cascadeur, DeepMotion, Adobe Firefly) to generate animations for characters, environments, or scenes.
  • Implement AI-assisted features like automatic keyframing, motion capture clean-up, or generative background design.
2. Character Animation and Rigging
  • Animate 2D or 3D characters using AI tools, ensuring natural movement, expressions, and gestures.
  • Use AI-assisted rigging tools to set up character skeletons and automate complex motions.
3. Scene Design and Environment Animation
  • Generate dynamic environments or props using AI tools.
  • Animate environmental elements (e.g., weather effects, lighting transitions) in sync with story requirements.
4. Editing and Refinement
  • Fine-tune AI-generated animations to align with creative direction.
  • Edit frames, motion timing, and transitions to meet production quality standards.
5. Collaboration with Creative Teams
  • Work closely with story writers, directors, and designers to ensure visual elements support the narrative.
  • Interpret storyboards and scripts into animated sequences, adjusting animations based on feedback.
6. Asset Integration
  • Integrate AI-generated animations into broader production pipelines (e.g., game engines, video editors, or VFX suites).
  • Ensure animations are compatible with rendering engines and maintain visual consistency.
7. Experimentation and Innovation
  • Explore and test emerging AI tools and techniques to enhance animation quality or reduce production time.
  • Provide feedback on AI tools' performance and suggest workflow improvements.
8. Rendering and Output
  • Prepare final animation files for rendering.
  • Optimise animation settings for resolution, frame rate, and platform compatibility.
Optional Skills / Knowledge Areas
  • Proficiency in traditional animation principles (timing, squash and stretch, anticipation).
  • Experience with tools like Blender, After Effects, Maya, Unity, or Unreal Engine.
  • Understanding of AI tools like Stable Diffusion (for style), EbSynth, or Motion Diffusion Models.
  • Basic knowledge of machine learning concepts or prompt engineering.
