Hasta La Motion!

Although the creation and production of 3D animated children’s television will remain the primary focus, we are developing the facility to take on all aspects of CG and VFX work for television and smaller budget feature films.

As Pipeline Lead you will be required to continue to develop and oversee the production pipeline; maintain an overall view of the entire workflow of the facility; and work closely with the VFX Supervisor and other department leads to ensure a tight, efficient and flexible pipeline.

You will be responsible for development of tools and pipeline code; management of the production database; and, together with the IT Department, management of the file servers, storage requirements and render farm for the facility.

You must have a solid understanding of Visual Effects and CG Animation processes and workflows; be proficient in MEL scripting and Python; and display a high level of innovative thinking and problem solving skills. Experience with Renderman and associated pipelines is desirable and C++ programming and a knowledge of Maya’s API would be an advantage. You may also be required to carry out work on a specific project or projects as CG Lead or Shots Lead.

Ideally you will have relevant qualifications and relevant industry experience, preferably in television production. You need to enjoy working as part of a close knit team and possess excellent communication skills.
