Description

Definition and Scope:

Game Animation Outsourcing refers to the practice of delegating the creation and development of animated assets used in video games to external third-party service providers. These providers, often located in different countries or regions, specialize in delivering high-quality animation content such as character movements, facial expressions, environmental effects, cut-scenes, cinematics, and motion capture processing. The outsourcing model enables game developers and publishers to reduce production costs, scale operations flexibly, access global talent pools, and accelerate development cycles.

Game animation includes both 2D and 3D animation, and its production involves a range of technical disciplines such as rigging, keyframe animation, motion capture clean-up, VFX integration, and real-time engine compatibility (e.g., Unity or Unreal Engine). Demand for outsourcing is driven by the growing complexity and cinematic quality of modern games, especially in AAA and mobile gaming sectors.
