UE4 Character Animator Wanted to Edit Actors & Animation for a Demo

Project Title:
Private Demo

Description:
We have created a near three minute cinematic in Unreal to be played before a technical demo presentation in the engine. We would like to have an animator go over the existing animations in the sequence for the characters and give them the final touches to make sure the action and quality are as good as can be.

The cameras have been laid out in sequencer, and although there might be some changes to when or what animations are used, or adjusting an angle of the camera, the timing in sequencer for each shot will remain. Mocap and animations working with the rigs will be provided. Some morphs for facial expressions may need to be created.
