The in-house supervisors will train and guide you to meet the standards set by the show runners and to match the specifications and style outlined by the director. You’ll be incorporating all notes from the supervisors, while working collaboratively with other animators. Paying close attention to hook-ups, character personalities, staging, solid drawing, and appropriate acting choices.
