- Excel both within a team environment and individually to deliver outstanding still assets.
QUALIFICATIONS
- Expertise in video game playing. Are you able to complete every game you pick up faster than anyone else you know?
- A visual aesthetic that can be demonstrated in previous work: in order to be considered you need to be able to demonstrate an ability with a real or virtual camera.
- An enthusiasm for and extensive knowledge of movies, TV pop culture and music videos.
- Ability to work as part of a team, including clear communication and a consistently positive attitude.
