By using the language of cinematography and animation in tandem to design the strongest possible sequences, a previs artist holds an impactful and highly collaborative role in the filmmaking process. The artistic sketch of the film to come, quickly produced through previs, supports effective creation, communication and realization of the project from development through to production and post.A previs shot creator pieces together elements, sets them in motion, and “films” them with virtual cameras to create cinematic sequences that represent the creative blueprint. Nearly any aspect of a shot can be tweaked instantaneously to improve the composition or the timing of the action. Working with the previs supervisor, previs shot creators produce previs shots and sequences that help to support the director's vision via appropriate use of camera movement, lenses, composition, staging, lighting, and editing.The ideal candidate:Possesses a strong sense of composition, color, animation timing, and storytellingAnimates a wide variety of subject matter from vehicles to small objects, to realistic character performances, all with a strong sense of camera animationUses lights efficientlyHas good knowledge of cinematic language, camera terminology and the ability to use motion blur, depth of field and other effects, to create realismHas the ability to clean up & accentuate mocap animationIs team oriented and able to successfully take direction from a supervisorIs adaptable, flexible and accepting of change, often tossing out ideas and starting anewSoftware knowledge:Autodesk MayaAdobe After EffectsAutodesk Motion Builder (a plus)TTFL Perks:Training & Development - We offer group training sessions for all roles and disciplines.Coffee Wednesdays - Supporting independent coffee shops, every Wednesday afternoon, our studio takes a mid-week break to socialise and have that all-important screen break!Monthly Happy Hour - At the end of each month we celebrate team birthdays.
