Together, with our storytellers, you will create scenes that are compelling and emotional or spectacular and bursting with action. We have them all!

Responsibilities

• Creating previz for gameplay, cinematic, and cutscene concepts before they are fully implemented, helping teams visualize how ideas could work and feel in the game.
• Creating placeholder character animation that clearly communicates action, intention, and timing.
• Establishing strong pacing, staging, composition, and camera work so previz provides a clear visual direction for later scene design and layout.
• Exploring and quickly iterating on different visual solutions as gameplay, narrative, and cinematic ideas evolve.
• Working with Cinematic Designers, Animators, Quest Designers, Writers, and Directors to make sure the previz communicates the intended experience.

• 5+ years of professional experience as a Previz Artist, Cinematic Artist, Layout Artist, or in a comparable role in games, film, or animation.
• A strong portfolio demonstrating authored cinematic sequences, with clear examples of camera work, staging, composition, editing, and visual storytelling.
• Proven ability to take a sequence from script or creative brief to a complete previz that clearly communicates the intended story, performance, pacing, and tone.
• Professional experience creating and animating cameras for cinematic sequences.
• Hands-on experience working with motion capture data and character animation.
• Demonstrated understanding of acting, with strong judgment in posing, timing, blocking, and character performance.
• Strong command of cinematography and editing, demonstrated through previous professional work.
• Experience visualizing gameplay or interactive sequences while respecting gameplay rules, player perspective, and design intent.
• Ability to work quickly through multiple iterations while maintaining a high quality bar and responding effectively to direction.
• Ability to independently identify and solve visual and technical problems rather than relying on fully defined solutions.
• Proven ability to learn new tools and pipelines quickly and apply them in production.
• A track record of taking ownership of sequences, pushing their quality beyond the initial brief, and carrying work through to a finished state.
• Ability to work effectively in a demanding and highly iterative production environment.
