There’s always a story to tell. As the cinematic designer, you’ll maximise your artistic flair and imagination to bring the world of Dolos to life. Using your technical skills and collaborating with other teams, you’ll create convincing and compelling cutscenes. If you’re a visual storyteller itching to build a new world, this is your role.

Responsibilities

Though primarily artistic, this role is also technical. Working closely with other departments, such as technical art and engineering, you’ll use your technical skills to solve problems and avoid friction with other aspects of the game.

But ultimately, your technical skills are there to complement your artistic ability. Using your strong sense of how game mechanics, pacing and cinematic storytelling work together to create narrative-driven cutscenes that make Life Beyond feel alive.

Throughout your mission to weave compelling story into Life Beyond and achieve its artistic ambitions, you’ll be responsible for:

• Crafting cinematic cutscenes that tell the stories of Life Beyond.
• Telling the story of Life Beyond by working with design, art, narrative and audio teams to create cinematic experiences.
• Collaborating with the engineering and technical art teams to establish and maintain tools and the pipeline.
• Inspiring storyboard artists and animators to create rich and engaging stories in Life Beyond with your exceptional storytelling ability.
• Leveraging your technical ability to bring your artistic ideas into reality.
