Job description

JOB DESCRIPTION

During pre-production, you work closely with the Directors, Producer, the Co-producer Production Manager(s), Art Director and Heads of Department to manage planned‑vs‑actual schedules & budgets over time, including configuring the digital asset management system, and oversee all other pre-production activities.

During production and post‑production, you are ultimately responsible for overseeing all activities, and for ensuring that the production is completed on time and within budget. This requires setting up and implementing financial monitoring systems, controlling production expenditures/materials, and controlling the progress of production, especially using the digital asset and project management systems.

You will also be responsible for ensuring a smooth migration of creative digital assets from the cinematic pipeline to the digital media pipelines (such as apps and digital “movie books”) and the creation of marketing materials such as trailers throughout the process.

• Team Alignment: Ensure the team understands the goals and deadlines for sequences, r&d projects, companion digital media, and marketing materials.
• Strategic Partner Relationship Management: You should be available for extended stays (weeks at a time) in various co‑production locations (eg: China) to set up and/or co‑ordinate work splits.
• Highly proficient in the use of Photoshop as well as traditional painting/rendering techniques. Understanding of the fundamentals of 3D packages a plus.
