Details
Hi, we’re Treehouse. We’re a Poole based boutique realtime production company by the sea that specializes in using Unreal Engine to tell awesome stories.

We're currently working on a feature film, for theatrical release, with an A-List Hollywood director and need someone magnificent to run the animation team!

 All applicants must be based and eligible to work in the UK

Job Description


We are producing high-quality, hyper-realistic animation for our feature film production, with in-house motion capture being the backbone of it all.


If you have a passion for animation and can use Unreal or Maya, then we want to hear from you 
...especially if you're had experience leading a creative team.


Requirements

  • A strong Animation portfolio demonstrating excellent timing, emotion, weight and believability.
  • Experience mentoring team members
  • Motion-capture experience
  • Excellent knowledge of Maya
  • Technical and creative problem solving.


You would be an absolute superstar if you possessed the following bonus skills:
  • Cleaning mo-cap data
  • General knowledge of Unreal Engine
  • A small amount of scripting knowledge - Mel or Python preferred.
  • Previous experience in a VFX environment.
  • An understanding of rigging.


The role is full time (as in a career, not a contract) based in our office in Poole. We're looking for people to work in the studio so it's not a remote role.

We Offer:
· Competitive salaries based on your knowledge and experience.
· Opportunity to partake in a major feature film whilst working in a small team
· Creative freedom to partake in early pre-production development.
· Permanent roles 
· Onsite recreation e.g., Table tennis, Pool table, retro arcade machines and a bar!
