Junior Animator / Intern
Company Description
At Scratches to Curves, we bring stories to life, frame by frame. Our team is composed of dedicated artists with diverse backgrounds from Japan, the US, Canada, and India, which infuses each project with a unique global perspective. We specialize in both deeply emotional narratives and high-octane action scenes. Our studio is divided into Scratches, where we excel in previsualization, and Curves, where we refine those raw ideas into final cinematics.
Role Description
We’re looking for someone who genuinely loves films , not just watching them, but understanding how they’re made. Someone who gets the rhythm of a good edit, the impact of a well-framed shot, and the emotion behind a performance. If you have a solid grasp of animation fundamentals, and you’re not just copying reference but really thinking about how to tell a story through movement, this role is for you. You'll be working closely with the leads , directors and artists to shape cinematic sequences, so if you’re hungry to learn, contribute, and grow as a storyteller, we’d love to hear from you.
Responsibilities
• Work with the team to animate shots using Unreal Engine Sequencer / Maya
• Help record mocap using Move.AI , retarget and ingest in engine
• Create and refine animations in Maya (basic keyframe, camera animation, and blocking)
• Help with Previs, layout, and shot planning for cinematic sequences
• Collaborate with leads and artists to maintain cinematic storytelling and visual fidelity
• Assist in integrating assets and animations in a real-time pipeline
