Crowd/Fix Animator – Netflix Animation Studios

Job Position(s): Crowd/Fix Animator - Netflix Animation Studios

Netflix Animation Studios is hiring a Crowd/Fix Animator to join their CG feature film team in Vancouver, British Columbia. This role sits within the animation department and focuses on background character animation, shot polish, and technical fixes that keep the overall film looking clean and consistent through production. It’s a good fit for an animator who’s comfortable working in the details of a feature animation pipeline rather than leading hero performances.

About the Role

The Crowd/Fix Animator works alongside the core animation team on an upcoming Netflix CG feature film, supporting directors and animation leadership to get shots across the finish line. Day-to-day work involves a mix of background character cycles, intersection fixes, eyeline corrections, and general shot polish, the kind of tasks that are essential to feature film production but don’t always get top billing. The role is hybrid, with a minimum of three days per week on-site at the Vancouver studio.

Key Responsibilities

• Animate background characters and develop cycles that hold up under the scrutiny of feature film production standards.
• Address aesthetic and technical animation fixes including intersections, eyelines, motion pops, and cloth adjustments across shots in the animation pipeline.
• Participate in animation reviews to track shot history, identify recurring problem areas, and report fix trends back to animation leadership.
• Prepare shots for entry and exit within the feature animation pipeline, meeting the technical handoff requirements between departments.
• Create, finish, and fix character performances within production schedules, managing your own workload without close supervision.
• Work with animation leadership to maintain shot quality across the board, flagging issues early and contributing to overall polish of the film.

What You Bring

• At least one year of animation experience in feature films, VFX, television, or games production.
• Proficiency in Maya or equivalent 3D animation software is preferred.
• A solid grasp of animation principles with demonstrated ability in weight, physics, expression, and performance.
• A demo reel no longer than two minutes that shows believable character performances and emotional range.
• Comfort receiving and acting on constructive feedback in a production environment.

Why This Role

Netflix Animation Studios is building a feature animation studio from the ground up across three global locations, and Vancouver is one of them, meaning there’s real career runway here as the slate grows. The overall compensation range for this Crowd/Fix Animator position is $48,000 to $90,000 CAD, reflecting total compensation with no bonuses, plus a benefits package that includes medical, dental, vision, mental health support, and paid leave programs. For animators looking to build feature film credits at a major animation studio, this is a substantive credit on a real production.
