2D Harmony Rigger

• Previous experience as a 2D Toon Boom Harmony Rigger or similar role in the animation industry is typically required.
• Proficiency in Toon Boom Harmony or similar 2D animation software is essential.
• Understanding of animation principles, anatomy, and character design to create effective and expressive rigs.
• Strong problem-solving skills to tackle complex rigging challenges.
• Excellent communication skills and the ability to work collaboratively within a team.
• A keen eye for detail to ensure accuracy in rigging and troubleshooting.
• Ability to adapt to changing project requirements and deadlines.

The 2D Rigger is responsible for creating character and prop rigs in Toon Boom Harmony or similar 2D animation software. They collaborate with animators and other team members to ensure smooth and efficient character animation, as well as the proper functionality of assets within the animation pipeline.

• Rigging Development: Create character and prop rigs from character designs and specifications. This includes building bone structures, setting up pivot points, and creating control systems.
• Character Articulation: Ensure characters are properly articulated with controls for body parts (e.g., limbs, head, torso) and facial features (e.g., eyes, mouth) to enable expressive animation.
• Asset Rigging: Rig various 2D assets, such as vehicles, props, and environmental elements, to make them animation-ready.
• Collaboration: Work closely with animators, character designers, and other team members to understand their needs and make adjustments to rigs as required.
• Problem-Solving: Identify and address rigging issues, troubleshoot problems, and optimize rigs for efficient animation.
• Documentation: Create and maintain clear and organized documentation for rigs, including naming conventions, control hierarchy, and usage guidelines.
• Testing: Thoroughly test rigs to ensure they function as intended and make necessary adjustments based on feedback from animators and supervisors.
