Motion Capture Job information

What is the difference between Motion Capture Job vs 3D Animator?

AspectMotion Capture Job3D Animator
Required SkillsKnowledge of motion capture systems, data cleanup, animation principles3D modeling, keyframe animation, storytelling
Work EnvironmentMotion capture studios, post-production facilitiesAnimation studios, film, gaming, advertising
Tools & SoftwareMotion capture hardware, software like MotionBuilder, ViconAutodesk Maya, Blender, 3ds Max
Industry UsageUsed for realistic movement capture in films and gamesUsed for creating animated characters and scenes

While both roles involve animation, a Motion Capture Job focuses on recording real-world movements using specialized equipment, whereas a 3D Animator creates animations manually or digitally. Motion capture provides realistic motion data, which animators can refine for final output. Both roles often collaborate in film and game production but require different skill sets and tools.

  • 1+ years of experience in motion capture in a production environment including mocap shoots for games, films and/or commercials.
  • Experience with one or more motion capture software tools: Shogun, Blade, Motive, Cortex, or Giant (Shogun/Blade preferred).

Working mode: in-office in a hybrid or full-time capacity.
Health & Well-Being
  • Company-paid medical healthcare (dental, vision, and mental).
  • Free mental health support, including access to counseling, psychiatric care, and a variety of well-being webinars.
  • Paid leave - 26 days of vacation, 10 sick days, & 12 calendar holidays per year
  • 401K with employer matching.
  • Lifestyle Spending Account (LSA) - $100 per month to use towards fitness, wellness, internet, home office equipment, learning, streaming services, and more.
  • Menstrual leave - employees who menstruate can take one extra day off when experiencing period pain.
  • RED Parents Network - support for working parents.

Perks & Professional Growth
  • Trainings, lectures, and courses - internal workshops, knowledge-sharing initiatives, online tutorials, and e-learning classes are all available.
  • A welcome pack filled with goodies - to help you feel right at home once you join the team.

Life in the Office
  • Dog-friendly office - bring your pooch with you and look after them while working! There's always a furry friend or two to meet.
  • Truly international working environment - a chance to meet and work with a diverse selection of people from all around the world.
  • No dress-code - we like to keep it casual.
