Ninja Theory surfaces; requests interns

Heavenly Sword developer Ninja Theory is still working hard in sunny Cambridge and now they want some of your help too.

After teasing their next project for the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360, Ninja Theory has drifted out of the spotlight and into the realms of hard development work.

One incredibly impressive feature in Heavenly Sword was its animation, both during gameplay and cutscenes. The latter's facial animation has arguably not been topped and so the team want to help budding animators master their skills.

Not only will successful applicants be able to work with some of the best animators in games development, they'll also work alongside on a real PS3 and Xbox 360 game (we wonder what it is!)

Ninja Theory's Animation Internship Program will run for three months from September through to November this year, with interns working on both hand-keyed and motion capture animation using Maya.

Nina Kristensen, co-founder and chief development Ninja commented:

"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."

Accommodation in Cambridge, UK will be provided for interns, in addition to a basic salary. There may also be permanent job opportunities at Ninja Theory! So if you're interested, please send materials to intern@ninjatheory.com

Good luck!
