Role overview

Digital Media Management (DMM), a Keywords Studios company, is a leading full-service digital agency, content studio and incubator specialising in social-first, "always-entertaining" marketing. DMM works with movie studios, television networks, game developers & publishers, streaming services and consumer brands to create groundbreaking social media campaigns via fan activations, innovative content creation, results-driven paid media planning, and strategic influencer-brand partnerships.

We're looking for a Game Capture Artist to join our award-winning team. You'll stage, shoot and scrutinise in-engine shots across specialised development builds to create the best content possible for our clients.

Our client list and fast growth come from a culture of no-waffle and a strong creative focus. The successful applicant will need to live those values and hit the ground running without heavy hand holding.

Key responsibilities:

• Create high-quality in-engine capture using game development builds and Unity projects. This means setting up cameras, staging scenes and characters, and rendering high-resolution, high-frame-rate footage through the Unity Recorder and, where needed, Unreal's Movie Render Queue
• Meet capture deadlines, which can sometimes be very tight, and manage your own time efficiently
• Keep a sharp eye on quality, pushing lighting, post-processing, resolution and detail levels to get the best possible image from each build
• Select and stage shots that meet the brief, telling a story through capture and showing off each game and its features in the best possible light
• Fully understand the latest build and project version of each game, and be the main point of contact for all game and engine updates
• Edit captured footage in After Effects and Premiere Pro, using editing techniques to make it as exciting as possible
• Build and maintain reusable capture setups, such as camera rigs, Timeline sequences and lighting presets, to speed up future work
• Gather high-quality assets (characters, environments, UI, renders) and export them from the engine when needed

Requirements

• A passionate gamer with a broad appreciation of mobile, PC and console titles
• A willingness to learn each game and its project setup inside out, and to stay hands-on with it every day
• Someone who can adapt to game development builds and Unity projects that are always changing, including version updates, new scenes and shifting assets
• An understanding of game trends and how games are marketed across the gaming landscape
• Creative problem solving: finding ways around bugs, broken scenes and build issues to get the shot
• A keen eye for composition, camera movement, lighting and framing
• An eagerness to develop in-engine cinematography techniques and creative storytelling skills
• A collaborator who can work efficiently with creative, editorial and client-side development teams
• Strong proficiency in Unity (essential), including Cinemachine, Timeline, the Unity Recorder and working across URP/HDRP render pipelines
• Working knowledge of Unreal Engine, including Sequencer, Movie Render Queue and cine cameras (highly desirable)
• Previous experience in a game capture, in-engine cinema tics or trailer production role (essential)
• Knowledge of Adobe After Effects and Premiere Pro
• PC proficient, with experience capturing from both PC and mobile builds (Android/iOS)
