In this situation it was perfect, as Beep has a very rigid body, and it is time consuming to make the eyes on the spherical head look realistic for every manually created pose. Using a master controller for this production was an important decision, as it will save a lot of time, keep the character on model, and bring a lot more flexibility for expression in the character. This is because I want animators to play with subtle head movements, and not worry about matching flips. The rig rotation does not contain any flipping, and is all posed manually. I created 47 head positions to achieve the most volumetric setup possible. Therefore candidates must have a valid work permit for the UK and be willing and able to work on-site as soon as it is safe to do so.I built a master controller for this rig, taking advantage of ToonBoom’s new feature in version 17. The role will be remote initially, but will eventually be based in-house in our studio in North London. This is a contract position, fixed term PAYE.

– Task driven, self-motivated, and proactive. – Very organised and meticulous, detail oriented. – Thrives in a collaborative work environment and is a team player. – Can apply direction and critiques successfully. – Programming/scripting skills would be great but not a requirement. – Ability and patience to adapt and revise characters.

– Good understanding of animation with animation production experience. – Able to use the Pose Copier script tool to set up a library of animation with multiple sliders. – Capable of setting up a full turnaround rig with multiple deformation chains. – Work with animators to ensure rigs are well functioning and optimised for efficiency.Įnsure the rigs conform to the production pipeline and are neat, clean and organised. – Design angles and poses in the style of the show. – A solid understanding of anatomy and perspective for bipeds, quadrupeds, props and vehicles. – Build, rig and test characters in Toon Boom Harmony under the direction of the rigging lead. This role will be remote initially, but will eventually be based in-house in our studio in North London. Deadendia are on the lookout for SENIOR TOON BOOM RIGGERS to join us on our exciting new series.
