About the role

This is an existing role within our team. As a Layout TD, you'll build and maintain the core elements of a shot, setting the stage for our Animation department. Your layout work brings the initial vision to life, allowing us to pre-visualise shots and build a rock-solid foundation for downstream CG departments to construct the final image. You'll play a vital role in ensuring continuity and flow across sequences, solving technical challenges to keep the pipeline moving smoothly.

• Stage and block cameras and assets to create compelling shot composition.

• Oversee the ingestion of both Previs and Postvis data.

• Set up and maintain Conforms.

• Restage cameras and assets as the creative needs of the shot evolve.

• Maintain shot content specifically tailored for the Animation team.

• Oversee the ingestion and distribution of Motion Capture data.

• Solve facial capture data to help bring digital performances to life.
