Description

Position at DNEG

(English version below)
Rédigé au masculin pour alléger le texte


Chez DNEG, les compositeurs travaillent de près avec les principaux gestionnaires des départements à l’évaluation des approches créatives et techniques des plans attitrés et à la résolution de problèmes visuels et analytiques dans le but de compléter l’analyse des atouts et de s’assurer que ceux-ci soient conformes aux normes établies.

Travaillant avec l’équipe de la production, le superviseur à la composition d’images et le stéréographe, vous créerez des éléments stéréo additionnels à l’aide de techniques de décomposition et d’extraction exclusives. Avec Nuke, vous décomposerez des scénarios d’effets visuels complétés en différents composants, les préparant ainsi pour nos équipes attitrées à la conversion. Tout le travail est en 2D, mais nécessite des connaissances de base en profondeur stéréoscopique. D’abord et avant tout, les artistes aux éléments doivent avoir un fort intérêt à résoudre des problèmes dans Nuke ! 

 

Qualifications

  • 1 à 2 années d’expérience en composition d’effets visuels ou d’une scolarité équivalente à ce niveau, comme un certificat ou un diplôme provenant d’un programme/établissement reconnu.
  • Compétences avec Nuke.
  • Connaissances des techniques de projection, d’intégration infographique, d’incrustation et de retouche de plan.
  • Compréhension de base des flux de travail 3D à passages multiples, de Deep, de l’espace colorimétrique, du lexique de Nuke et de la déformation de plan.
  • Bande démo présentant un travail d’effets visuels de grande qualité.

 

Atouts 

  • Expérience en composition d’images stéréoscopique.
  • Cours en Arts ou Sciences (reliés aux effets visuels) complété dans le cadre d’une éducation formelle.
  • Expérience avec d’autres aspects des effets visuels, différents de la composition d’images.

 

À propos de vous 

  • Vous êtes rapide, efficace et êtes capable de travailler avec des échéances serrées et très peu de supervision.
  • Vous êtes capable de travailler en collaboration avec d’autres compositeurs et avez la volonté de partager vos connaissances et vos techniques.
  • Vous êtes organisé et avez de fortes compétences en communications, écrite et orale.
  • Vous avez un œil très développé pour les détails. 
  • Vous avez un amour pour Nuke et un grand intérêt à résoudre des problèmes techniques !

Pour le CANADA : Veuillez noter qu'il s'agit d'un poste syndiqué et qu'il sera couvert par une convention collective entre DNEG et IATSE dans les mois à venir. En tant qu'employé syndiqué, vous devrez adhérer au syndicat et bénéficierez des conditions énoncées dans la convention collective. Les cotisations syndicales seront exigées une fois que la convention collective sera en place.
