Description
Pipeline TD
Continuously improving our
production technology is fundamental to keeping Double Negative ahead in the
VFX industry. We are lucky enough to work with some of the most talented and
dedicated people in their field and can depend on them to keep up to date with
advancing VFX technologies. They bring
the vital technical element to our creative world.
Pipeline TDs at Double
Negative are essential for the smooth running of all our shows. The role is
varied and requires someone excited by all the challenges a VFX pipeline can
bring. We rely on our experienced Pipeline TD to work closely with our artists
to understand their technical glitches and offer efficient and effective
solutions. This role is balanced between support and tool development for our
3D and 2D departments using Python. You’ll work with our Supervisors and
R&D team to better understand show specific pipeline needs and create
documentation and tutorials for any new tools and scripts developed.
The responsibilities of our
Pipeline TDs are broad and can include developing test plans to ensure quality
and working with artists to improve tool usability to working with our other
studios to ease sit-to-site data and workflow issues.
Double Negative prides
itself on our technology and our Pipeline team’s ability to solve complex
technical problems in a collaborative environment while also supporting our
budding ATDs.
