Cinematics Producer

We are looking for a Cinematics Producer to join The Dark Pictures development team. You will work closely with Project Direction to plan and run motion capture shoots, reporting on status, providing input for the schedule and the budget, and facilitating communication and information sharing.

The Role

The ideal candidate will be highly organised, with excellent attention to detail, while being pragmatic enough to adapt a plan to changing requirements. Great communication skills are essential, with the ability to collaborate well with many different disciplines.

It is a key part of the role that the Cinematics Producer is able to take authority on set for the accurate execution of the shoot plan while allowing the Director to concentrate on the actors’ performance. This is quite a hands-on set production role, so the ability to keep track of all the technical requirements as well as the big picture at all times is crucial in order to make confident calls navigating through problems as they arise.

The role reports to the Production Director, with support, guidance and direction from the Game Team and Series Directors.

• Creating detailed and time efficient shot lists, including organisation of all materials required in time for the shoots.
• Taking responsibility for all technical details on set during a shoot.
• Ensure that all the correct data is delivered from the shoot to the development team.
• Pass information from the shoot to the team so that shot data can be correctly integrated.
• Helping to improve the effectiveness of pipelines and processes for running shoots and shot data integration

Requirements

Experience

Or you may have had experience organising and running mo-cap shoots for game cinematics.

Requirements/Skills

• Good understanding of cinematics and/or VFX and post-production pipelines.
• Self-motivated and able to take the initiative on following up and solving any issues
• Good oral and written communication skills
• Able to maintain budgets, create schedules, and update weekly reports as needed.
