Czech term or phrase: fázař
From sentence: Hermína Týrlová se poprvé se zlínským filmem setkala jako fázařka, animátorka i kreslířka společnosti Ire-film při natáčení baťovské reklamy o gumových hračkách Slon zachráncem (1934).

this "phase person" does the ground work, the moving of the figures ever so slightly in what Czechs call fáze...but I can't find anything to back me up in English, this animator's closest friend...
this much from Kudlov (Zlin studio):
fázař je : grafik, mistr, vymýšlí polohy pohybu, rozkreslí jednotlivé fáze - důležité polohy budoucí animace, animátor pak animuje celý pohyb

thanks!

assistant animator
Explanation:
Explanation:
Animation starts when there are approved layouts (if applicable), designs or models, voice track and timings for the Animator to work with. The Director or Animation Director will assign scenes to Animators who produce the images which, when recorded in sequence, create the illusion of movement. Depending on the project and technique, there can be a single Animator working alone or a large team in which there may be a range of talents and skills from lead animator down to junior assistant. The Director approves the animation or, on a larger project, this may be done by the Animation Director or Supervisor. As scenes are approved, they are cut into the working reel/layout reel so they can be viewed in context before moving on to the next stage. In most cases, Effects Animation will be done after the main animation is complete.

I believe that "key animator" is also used for the assistants directly under the lead animator

as to your text, she probably started as a junior assistant and progressed to a more senior position

graphic artist


Explanation:
A suggestion. From your description and list of her separate roles, there is the animator, so the "rozkreslení fází" is essentially graphic artist's task.
