3D Light Supervisor

As a 3D Light Supervisor at ILP you are the hub connecting everything from animation to FX and compositing. It is your responsibility that everything comes together and that the end result looks as good as it possibly can. The role is very diverse and we value a problem solving attitude, initiative and a structured way of working equally high as a great artistic eye.

In addition to the traditional supervisor tasks we expect all our lighters to be able to do basic modelling and lookdev as well as slap compositing of their shots. A clear understanding of the entire VFX pipeline is also important as it helps in communicating effectively with the other disciplines.

It's up to you to support the VFX supes vision, and PMs schedule, to deliver the show in all of its areas. You will be responsible for facilitating communication within the team and between departments. Your secondary responsibility is to develop, support and QC creative and technical approaches in her/his own department.

We currently use Houdini for most scene assembly, Arnold for rendering and Nuke for compositing. That said, we always premiere quick learners over software specific knowledge.
