Job Description

The Animation Artist at Rodeo FX is responsible for delivering high-end, hyper-realistic performances for creatures, characters, and animated objects. With a sharp eye for timing, weight, and emotion, the artist brings life and credibility to animated assets, whether realistic or stylized. Working closely with the Animation Lead and Supervisor, the artist contributes creatively and technically to the success of each shot, while adhering to the project’s artistic vision, technical specifications, and deadlines.

Key Responsibilities

Master your craft

Deliver polished animation work that meets both creative intent and production specifications.
Demonstrate a solid grasp of animation principles - timing, weight, arcs, and posing - across different performance styles.
Adapt quickly to varying animation contexts (realistic creatures, mechanical objects, stylized characters).

Creative Quality

Interpret creative direction and reference materials to build nuanced and expressive performances.
Propose original ideas and motion choices that enhance the storytelling and overall impact of the shot.
Seek and integrate feedback constructively to elevate the quality of animation.

Technical Quality

Ensure animation is clean, functional, and export-ready for downstream departments.
Anticipate and troubleshoot rigging or scene-related issues in collaboration with technical teams.
Maintain naming conventions, file structures, and technical requirements as per pipeline standards.

Communication

Provide realistic time estimates, communicate promptly in case of issues or potential delays, and collaborate with production to adjust priorities if needed.
Maintain open communication with production, leads, and adjacent departments to support smooth handoffs and problem-solving.
Flag roadblocks proactively and propose viable solutions when technical or creative issues arise.
Participate actively in dailies and reviews, clearly presenting work and responding to notes.

Teach, learn and grow

Share tools, tips, and approaches with peers to foster collective improvement.
Engage in learning sessions, studio initiatives, or internal mentorship programs.
Stay current with evolving trends, software, and animation methodologies to refine your practice.

Qualifications

Minimum 10 years of experience in a VFX studio environment.
Strong proficiency in Maya; experience with other animation tools is a plus.
Solid understanding of body mechanics, facial animation.
Ability to animate from reference and build compelling acting performances.
High attention to detail, autonomy, and ability to manage deadlines effectively.
Positive, collaborative mindset and strong communication skills.
Asset : Experience with ShotGrid or other production tracking tools.
Asset : Knowledge of rigging fundamentals or custom tool development.

Additional Information

Proven experience as a Senior Animation Artist.
Must be based in province of Quebec.
Canadian citizenship, permanent residency, or open-work permit is required

Diversity, Equity and Inclusion

At Rodeo FX, diversity is a core value. We’re committed to creating an inclusive, equitable workplace where different perspectives are embraced. Every team member brings unique insight that strengthens our creativity, challenges our thinking, and helps us deliver better work.

Use of Artificial Intelligence in Recruitment

Rodeo FX may use AI-based tools to support certain steps of the recruitment process, such as interview transcription or preliminary application analysis. These tools may be operated by third-party providers, and data may be processed outside Quebec. These tools never replace human decision-making: all final hiring decisions are made by our recruitment team and hiring managers.
