As a Senior Camera Designer, you will be responsible for setting-up, implementing/scripting and maintaining the in-game camera for our up-coming AAA title. This will be a very important role, as the camera will be very diverse and dynamic - almost a character in the game in itself.

An exceptional candidate has a proven track record with high-end AAA titles and the setting up/maintenance of game cameras in past titles. He/she will have strong compositional awareness, as well as some understanding of camera principles for film. This position requires the candidate to have a nice mix of creative and technical expertise - you are the driving force of our game’s camera.

• Ability to write supporting documentation for camera systems
• Setup of aesthetically pleasing cameras with strong composition, as well as variations to those cameras to cover any “edge-cases”, which work seamlessly in a game environment
• Implementation and scripting of those cameras
• Maintenance of cameras throughout the production cycle
• Working closely with the animation director to achieve the game’s vision, camera-wise
• Communicating effectively with content teams to identify workflow issues, spec out the plan to solve them, and then drive that plan to a shippable state
• Using technical expertise to find creative solutions to challenging problems
  
  

• Strong understanding of camera aesthetics and shot composition
• Strong understanding of the limitations of a game camera and how to work around those limitations
• Clear and open communication skills
• Knowledge/expertise with Autodesk animation software (Maya/Motionbuilder)
• Excellent problem solving skills
• Desire to work as part of a team; taking feedback and direction appropriately, and the motivation to work autonomously
  
  

• Experience working on open world games
• Experience working with open-world third-person games
• Experience with open world driving games
• C++ programming experience
