Animator
Blizzard Entertainment is looking for a talented 3D animator to assist our Cinematics team in creating the next generation of our award-winning in-game movies.
The Cinematic Animator will be skilled at realistically animating the movements of humanoids, beasts and machines at a level that lives up to the ever-increasing Blizzard standard of quality (see our trailers for a small sample of this legendary quality).
