  • Combat, movement, and gameplay-centric animation
     
• Solid understanding of:
   
  • Animation principles (timing, spacing, arcs, anticipation, follow-through, etc.)
     
  • Game animation constraints vs. film/linear media
     
• Experience exporting and importing animations from DCC tools into Unreal, with a clean pipeline for iteration.
   
• Ability to work from rough block outs or storyboards and take animations to final polish.
