Job Overview
We are looking for a Cinematic Artist to join our team and support the production of real-time cinematics, trailers, and in-game cutscenes.
This is a hands-on generalist role covering different stages of cinematic production. We are not looking for a specialist or an expert in every discipline. Instead, we are looking for someone with a broad interest in real-time cinematic production, solid artistic fundamentals, and a willingness to learn and grow across multiple areas.
What will you do?
You will work closely with the cinematic team and contribute to the production of real-time cinematics and in-game cutscenes from early layout to final polish.
Your responsibilities may include:
- Creating cinematic layouts and establishing shots in-engine
- Storyboarding and visualizing cinematic sequences
- Camera layout, composition, and camera animation
- Basic character and object animation
- Working with existing animation assets and adapting them to cinematic needs
- Level art and environment dressing for cinematic shots
- Setting up and adjusting lighting for cinematic sequences
- Creating and integrating simple real-time VFX
- Supporting shot assembly and cinematic sequencing
- Iterating on shots based on artistic and creative feedback
- Troubleshooting visual and technical issues within cinematic scenes
- Helping bring cinematic sequences from rough blockout to final in-engine presentation
The exact scope of work may vary depending on the project and the needs of a particular cinematic sequence.
What are we looking for?
- Basic understanding of 3D production and real-time workflows
- Interest in cinematography, visual storytelling, and animation
- Understanding of camera composition, framing, and shot construction
- Basic animation skills and an understanding of timing and movement
- Ability to work with 3D environments and assemble scenes
- Familiarity with real-time engines and cinematic tools
- Willingness to work across multiple disciplines rather than focusing on a single specialization
- Ability to take feedback and iterate on your work
- Curiosity, initiative, and a strong desire to learn
What additional skills will help you stand out?
- Experience with Unreal Engine and Sequencer
- Basic knowledge of character animation
- Experience with level art or environment dressing
- Basic understanding of real-time VFX
- Experience creating personal cinematics, short films, game scenes, or similar projects
- Interest in filmmaking, animation, games, and visual storytelling
What We don't expect
You do not need to be an expert animator, VFX artist, level artist, or cinematographer.
We value versatility, artistic potential, problem-solving, and the ability to learn. You will have the opportunity to develop your skills across different areas of real-time cinematic production while working on actual production tasks.
