3D Animator

Streamline Media Group is a 25-year creative development studio specializing in full video game development, co-development, publishing, and interactive digital asset production. We have shipped titles across every major platform for clients, including Sony, Microsoft, and global AAA publishers.

We are hiring a 3D Animator on a freelance/contract basis, where you will play a crucial role in bringing characters and environments to life. Collaborating closely with the Creative/Art Director and other team members, you will create high-quality animations that enhance gameplay and storytelling. Your responsibilities will include developing character movements, facial animations, and environmental effects, ensuring that all animations are fluid, dynamic, and stylistically consistent with the game's visual style.
