Junior Animator (Internship)

Ever dreamed of animating epic sword duels, or breathing life into characters from one of history's most fascinating empires Here's your chance! We're seeking a passionate animation intern to join our team building an epic, action-adventure game: Unsung Empires: The Cholas II. The internship will last for 3 months, starting on March 15, 2025, and will be based in Chennai. As an animation intern, your primary responsibility will be to create and implement in-game animations, breathing life into the game design. You will collaborate closely with Character Artists, Modelers, Programmers, and other team members on a day-to-day basis. Your tasks will include animating characters and props in Maya, utilizing hand-key techniques or working with mocap to create dynamic animations, and ensuring visual consistency across all animations. Additionally, you will integrate animations directly into the game engine, ensuring they function seamlessly within gameplay and respond naturally to player inputs. To excel in this role, you should have a good understanding of Maya and be familiar with basic animation principles and techniques, including timing, movement, and weight, within the context of games. While knowledge of Unreal Engine is a bonus, it is not a requirement. If you enjoy playing PC/Console games, that would be an added advantage. As an intern, you will benefit from training sessions with experienced mentors to enhance your technical and professional skills. You will gain hands-on experience animating for Unsung Empires: The Cholas II, have access to cutting-edge tools, and work alongside seasoned game developers, artists, and designers, learning the intricacies of the game development process. There is also potential for future employment based on your performance during the internship. We welcome applications from individuals of all backgrounds. If you are passionate about animation and gaming, even if you do not meet all the requirements listed, we still encourage you to apply. Enthusiasm and potential can sometimes outweigh experience and skills. Join us on this exciting journey of bringing Unsung Empires: The Cholas II to life through captivating animations!,
