Proficiency with tools such as Unreal Engine, Blender, Maya, and/or After Effects
Ability to produce high-quality animations both independently and within collaborative pipelines
Strong sense of motion, timing, lighting, and cinematic composition
Comfort working from storyboards, pre-vis, or animatics to final delivery
