About The Role

Notre studio partenaire, Kazoo Animation, est basé à Tourcoing - Plaine Images, en France. Pour cette production, les candidats devront résider en France, idéalement dans la région Hauts-de-France. Les contrats proposés seront des CDDU Intermittents. Les entretiens se dérouleront en deux temps, le premier en anglais et le second en français.

Nos artistes lighting et compositing senior (L&C) sont de merveilleux conteurs visuels. Ils définissent l'ambiance et l'atmosphère de nos récits et mettent en valeur les détails de nos personnages, accessoires et environnements. Ce sont des experts de la lumière, de la couleur et de la résolution créative de problèmes.

Votre travail quotidien consistera à créer le lighting de nos épisodes, à peaufiner les couleurs lors du compositing, tout en maintenant un bon équilibre entre la qualité la plus élevée et le respect des délais.

Quotidien

  • Créer les scènes de lighting dans Maya à l'aide des assets provenant des départements d'animation et FX, puis compositer ces plans rendus dans Nuke pour créer le plan final.
  • Ajuster les light rigs fournis, les configurations de rendu et les templates de compositing afin d'obtenir le visuel requis pour vos plans.
  • Modifier les paramètres de rendu pour optimiser l'efficacité des rendus.
  • Monitoring des rendus pour s'assurer qu'ils respectent le temps de rendu prévu.
  • Travailler au sein d'une équipe d'artistes lighting et compositing et communiquer régulièrement avec votre chef d'équipe et le superviseur de la postproduction.
  • Gérer efficacement son temps pour respecter les délais sur les plans attribués.
  • Corriger les erreurs et les glitches en résolvant les problèmes et en traitant les commentaires de manière efficace.

  • Compréhension technique du “biased rendering” afin d'optimiser l'échantillonnage, de rendre vos rendus efficaces et d'éviter le bruit/noise et les artefacts.
  • Compréhension de la théorie des couleurs, de l'esthétique et de la composition.
  • Compréhension technique des “utility passes” (Z, Position et Normals) et de leur utilisation dans le compositing à l'aide de Nuke.
  • Compréhension de la profondeur de champ de la caméra.
  • Compétences en résolution de problèmes afin de trouver la meilleure approche pour répondre au cahier des charges, résoudre les problèmes et poser des questions en cas de doute.
  • Avoir le sens du détail pour examiner minutieusement les plans finalisés afin d'y déceler toute erreur ou incohérence.
  • Bonne communication et esprit d'équipe, partage des connaissances et des compétences avec les autres membres de l'équipe.
  • Travailler de manière indépendante. Faire preuve de diligence, prendre des initiatives et être fiable.
  • Être organisé et gérer son temps efficacement.
  • Expérience préalable en tant qu'artiste L&C sur une production d'animation.
