Layout Supervisor

Description

A super AWESOME opportunity has become available for a Layout Supervisor to work on one of our next exciting projects, LEGO® Ninjago (Sydney).

The Layout Supervisor is primarily responsible for translating sequences from storyboards to CG sequences.  Overseeing both layout and final camera framing and movement on the film, the Layout Supervisor will be the point person for all things camera related, as well as maintaining continuity across sequences. The Layout Supervisor essentially acts as Director of Photography on an animated feature.

• Identifying any inefficiencies and working with relevant departments and supervisors to rectify the issues
• Providing detailed and specific feedback to the Layout department when necessary

If you think you’ve got the BRICKTACULAR skills and EMMET’s can do attitude we encourage you to apply:
