Crowd TD

Description

MPC are seeking experienced TDs with a background or interest in crowd simulation, procedural animation or motion capture to join our crowd team. The successful applicants will use ALICE, MPC's proprietary Maya-based crowd layout and simulation toolset, to populate cities, choreograph battles, wrangle herds and generally inject multitudinous life into a number of exciting upcoming feature films.

Primary Responsibilities:

To produce realistic animation for anywhere from several to several thousand people, animals or fantastical creatures using standard Maya techniques in conjunction with a sophisticated simulation framework.
The crowd TD must be something of a generalist as their job involves aspects of modelling, layout, animation, scripting, lighting and compositing.
The job also involves working closely with people in related disciplines and producing representative dailies for feedback throughout the production life-cycle of a shot.
