What is remote animation script writing?

Remote animation script writing involves creating scripts for animated productions, such as TV shows, movies, or web series, while working from a location outside of a traditional studio environment. Writers collaborate with directors, animators, and producers through digital communication tools to develop storylines, dialogue, and scene directions tailored for animation. This role requires strong storytelling skills, an understanding of animation pacing, and the ability to adapt scripts for visual storytelling. Working remotely offers flexibility but also demands self-discipline and effective communication to meet project deadlines.

How do remote animation script writers typically collaborate with animation teams during the production process?

Remote animation script writers usually work closely with directors, storyboard artists, and producers through virtual meetings, cloud-based script editing tools, and messaging platforms. Effective communication is essential to ensure the script aligns with the project's visual style and pacing. Writers often participate in feedback sessions, making revisions based on team input and adapting to changes in storyboards or animation direction. Building strong, proactive relationships with creative team members helps maintain a smooth workflow despite the physical distance.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as a remote animation script writer, and why are they important?

To thrive as a Remote Animation Script Writer, you need strong storytelling abilities, a solid grasp of script formatting, and experience in animation writing, often supported by a degree in creative writing, film, or a related field. Familiarity with industry-standard screenwriting software like Final Draft or Celtx is typically required. Creativity, self-motivation, and effective remote communication skills help writers collaborate with animation teams and adapt to feedback. These skills ensure scripts are engaging, production-ready, and align with the creative vision, which is crucial for successful animated projects.

Job description

We're Studio Wildcard, developers of the smash indie hit ARK: Survival Evolved -- one of the most popular and original video games in recent years. Despite our massive success, we've been able to stay independent, so that we can steer our own future in games and beyond. There's never been a better time for you to join this adventure and help us build ARK Survival Ascended, the next chapter of our original hit franchise! We're expanding and updating many of the ARK community's most beloved features while taking full advantage of the latest tools and technologies.


We’re looking for an exceptionally talented Technical Animator who lives and breathes Unreal Engine Animation Blueprints and Control Rig. You will own high-impact animation systems that bring creatures, characters, and gameplay to life. This is a systems-focused technical animation role: deep expertise in visual programming (AnimBPs + Control Rig) is the core requirement. Comfort with programming logic is essential, but day-to-day C++ work is not the focus.


Responsibilities:

  • Design, write, and implement animation systems, using Unreal Engine Animation Blueprints and Control Rigs
  • Create sophisticated Control Rig solutions (procedural animation, IK/FK systems, full-body IK, terrain adaptation, foot placement, active ragdoll blending, etc.)
  • Develop responsive, scalable animation systems for bipeds, quadrupeds, and fantasy creatures
  • Work closely with cross-functional teams to improve current solutions and create new ones
  • Create documentation and provide pipeline improvements
  • Optimize animation systems for performance, LODs, and large-scale creature ecosystems


Requirements:

  • Minimum 3 years of professional experience as a Technical Animator / Animation Programmer / Technical Artist focused on real-time animation systems, with at least one shipped title.
  • Expert-level proficiency with Unreal Engine Animation Blueprints (complex state machines, layered blends, procedural logic, gameplay-driven systems).
  • Strong self-motivation and willingness to participate in many areas of game development
  • Experience using Unreal Engine 5


Pluses:

  • C++ experience (useful for deeper engine integration or performance work, but not a primary focus of the role)
  • Experience with character/creature rigging and skinning in Maya, or Control Rig
  • Degree in computer science or a related field
  • Experience with Rigging and Animation
  • Physics-driven animation (ragdoll, physics blending, cloth, custom physics solvers)
  • Tool Programming, MEL, PyMel Python
  • Houdini experience


Required Application Materials:

  • Resume
  • Cover Letter which should include
    • Why you are interested in working for Studio Wildcard
    • What games you are currently playing
  • Portfolio or examples demonstrating Animation Blueprint and/or Control Rig work
