Technical Implementation: Maintain continuity and technical accuracy by incorporating practical set dimensions, camera lens data, and virtual production requirements
Pipeline and Workflow: Establish and adhere to efficient workflows for asset iteration, scene versioning, and export to facilitate handoff to downstream departments (e.g., Layout, Post-vis)
Mentorship: Provide guidance and feedback to junior artists, helping to elevate the overall quality and efficiency of the Previs team

What we’re looking for:

Experience: 5+ years of experience working as a Previs, Post-vis, or Layout Artist in feature film, high-end television, or AAA game cinematics

- Unreal Engine Able to assemble an aesthetically pleasing environment, manage levels and sequencer, and ensure all assets are correctly imported
Generalist Skills: Demonstrated ability to quickly create low-to-mid resolution 3D assets (props, geometry, basic character adjustments) that are clean and suitable for scene assembly
Technical Acumen: Deep understanding of camera settings (lenses, focal length, depth of field), motion principles, and scene scale
Communication: Excellent verbal and visual communication skills, with the ability to take complex feedback and rapidly iterate on shots or sequences
Experience with motion capture integration and cleanup.
