Ninja Theory is famous for their brilliant work on Heavenly Sword, one of the earliest titles made available on PlayStation 3. The team’s collaboration with Lord of the Rings actor Andy Serkis showed the world just how powerful and captivating a videogame character’s performance could be. And as it so happens, Ninja Theory is launching an animation internship program.



Ninja Theory’s animators are amongst the best in the industry, and this offer gives talented, up-and-coming animators to learn from the masters on their current multiplatform title. The program will take place from September to November 2009, giving interns the opportunity to work with key frame and motion capture data within Maya (a popular 3D application). Chief Development Ninja, Nina Kristensen, expressed her delight at making this program possible.

“I’m super excited about launching this program, we’ve got a huge amount to offer budding animators and if successful we intend to run it every year.”
