Stargate SG1/Atlantis production is seeking VFX savvy 3D Artists
and Compositors for work on this award-winning science fiction
television series and upcoming films. The main tools we use are
Lightwave, Digital Fusion, Maya and Combustion but artistic skills
and work ethic/personality will win the day. Must be able to adapt
to a variety of tasks and communicate well with other staff, show
supervisors and producers.
Modelers must be excellent with organic (sub-d)
and hard surface tasks, with an eye for detail in their texturing
abilities. Attention to topology, UV mapping, edge looping and
other tasks associated with the creation of 3D models is paramount.
Subjects range from weaponry and spaceships to fantastic creatures,
digital doubles and more. We prefer Lightwave or Maya but experience
with any higher end package is fine.
Animators must be able to set up entire complex
sequences, from animatic to final. While character experience
is desirable, a background or shown excellence with cinematography/camera
work is a must. Previous experience with fast action and science
fiction related themes is a plus.
Generalists should be able to adapt to a wide
variety of roles, from the modeling/animation tasks above to particle
simulation, camera tracking, dynamics, voxels/fluids, scripting
and other roles as needed. Additional tools include Realflow,
Vue, Terragen, Blastcode, Zbrush, Matchmover, Syntheyes etc..
Compositors need to be VFX savvy, used to dealing
with layered 3D elements and flexible when it comes to delivering
anything our show's writers dream up. While rig removals, split
screens, zat/glows and the like are part of our work, we mainly
take on very challenging sequences which often involve the entire
team.
In all cases, at least two to three years experience is expected,
or an equivalent skillset. These are not in any way "entry
level" positions.
Positions are slated to start Spring 2007 and run until approx
February-March 2008 with potential to work on further seasons
of the production.
First consideration will be given to residents of Canada but
all with exceptional talents are welcome to apply.
Location is "on the lot" at the Bridge Studios in Burnaby
(Vancouver), British Columbia, Canada.
Due to volume of submissions, we regret we may not be able to
reply to any but selected candidates. CV (PDF, RTF or TXT only)
and link to any work present online should be emailed to stargatevfxjobs@gmail.com.
If including media, please limit size of attachments to a total
of 1 megabyte or less. Demo reels will be called for as needed.
