London, United Kingdom The Third Floor Full time

**Job Title**: Shot Creator
**Location**: London based studios / remote working
**Reports To**: Head of Creative

**About The Third Floor**

The Third Floor is the world’s leading visualization studio dedicated to supporting the production of next
- generation film, television, streaming, immersive and themed content. Working hand in hand with directors and key crew, the company helps create compelling visuals by using the virtual world to explore ideas, develop plans and gain efficiencies during the entire creative process. Since its founding in 2004, The Third Floor has contributed to breakthrough projects from _Avatar _to _The Mandalorian_.

**Job Summary**

The Third Floor is seeking ambitious artists who are looking for a golden opportunity to make their mark on the entertainment industry. By using the language of cinematography and animation in tandem to design the strongest possible sequences, a Shot Creator holds an impactful and highly collaborative role in the filmmaking process.

In previs, a Shot Creator pieces together elements, sets them in motion, and ‘films’ them with virtual cameras to create cinematic sequences that represent the creative blueprint. Nearly any aspect of a shot can be tweaked instantaneously to improve the composition or the timing of the action. Working with the previs supervisor, Shot Creators produce previs shots and sequences in Maya that help to support the director's vision via appropriate use of camera movement, lenses, composition, staging, lighting, and editing.

Shot creators will also support postvis teams during the editorial stage, by integrating and compositing the animation or CG elements into the live action plates using either After effects or Nuke. The work of a Shot Creator supports the effective creation, communication and realization of the project from development, through to production and post.
- Possess a strong sense of cinematic composition and animation timing
- Have knowledge across multiple 3D and CG techniques including, but not limited to, animation, FX, modeling, lighting and rendering
- Have a good knowledge of the cinematic language and camera terminology
- Show passion for cinematography and how to convey it to a story
- Be adaptable, flexible and accepting of change throughout a project
- Know how to use motion blur, depth of field and other effects, to create realism
- Be able to clean up and accentuate mocap animation
- Be team-oriented and able to successfully take direction from a supervisor but also work individually
- Possess strong communication skills.

**Software knowledge**:

- Autodesk Maya is essential. Unreal Engine knowledge is a huge plus.
- Adobe After Effects, PFTrack, 3DEqualizer, Nuke and Autodesk MotionBuilder are desirable.

**TTFL Perks**:

- Training & Development - We offer group training sessions for all roles and disciplines.
- Coffee Wednesdays - Supporting independent coffee shops, every Wednesday afternoon, our studio takes a mid-week break to socialise and have that all-important screen break
- Work-life balance - We believe in a healthy work-life balance and encourage our staff to start and finish work on-time, we strive to avoid overtime and weekend work.
- Social events - We understand the importance of social interaction and we hold an annual summer picnic, a Christmas party and a February blues party.
