You will report to the Art Director as part of a team that works collaboratively in an iterative process; including sharing updates, communicating across departments and planning for your team with the help of Development Directors.

  • Knowledge of colour grading approaches (e.g. DaVinci Resolve).

  • A broad interest in aspects of visual art including but not limited to video games (e.g. photography, filmography, painting, etc.).
  • Knowledge of image editing or mastering software a bonus (e.g. Phothoshop, Nuke, etc.).


    You’ll be expected to:

  • Provide consistent and effective direction and guidance to our lighting teams across levels and cinematics, to enable them to deliver high quality lighting on time, to schedule and to specification.
  • Help support other leads within the franchise to consider mission critical lighting needs.
  • Collaborate with other leads in the franchise to ensure pipelines and workflows are up to production standards.
  • Specify and work along with engine, graphics and tools teams to design and implement workflows, techniques and approaches to the lighting craft and set visual goals.
  • Provide guidance to other team members to work through technical and creative solutions.
  • Communicate progress and raise any issues or proposed solutions with the art directors on the team.
  • Proactively use knowledge and experience to identify and solve problems before they affect the development of the project.
