The Technodrome Forums - View Single Post - Nickelodeon hiring for Character Designer for Rise of the TMNT

As I'd mentioned, the vast majority of the work featured on their website is 3D animation. Literally only one (excluding TMNT) is 2D. I can give them the benefit of the doubt that they just simply need/want to beef up the number of 2D experts they have. With so few 2D projects, most of their people probably specialize in 3D, though many may still be fully capable with 2D but prefer to work in the other. Thus... you get some additional 2D experts in there and let your 3D people remain on the studio's 3D projects. (After all, people can only work on so many things at once.)

Or so goes my reasonable guess. Given their body of work, it makes sense that they may not have had as many 2D animators among them vs 3D people, and now with winning this big gig getting to do an internationally aired tv series for a popular franchise (and on that note, grats to them) they likely have a need to hire more people specifically for it.

Edit: And since when is a couple more than a few...
