How can I get a motion capture job?

The primary qualifications for getting a motion capture job depend on the role. Technician roles that use and maintain the equipment usually need at least a bachelor's degree and some experience with motion capture technology. Animation roles, similarly, require a bachelor's degree and familiarity with animating in a variety of styles. Aspiring professionals in both roles often use internships to get experience before applying for full-time positions. Motion capture jobs are geographically limited. While animators using captured data can theoretically work from anywhere, most work in major animation or game development studios, and most technicians work exclusively in recording studios that are typically in large urban areas. Fulfilling the responsibilities and duties of a motion capture job requires creativity, communication skills, and flexibility.
