Lead Lighting Artist

Lighting is an important element in the creation of a game’s look and feel. An environment is not complete without the mood that is set by shadowy dark corners or bright rays across a vast landscape.

Model Builder

Tagged As:

Helping to communicate the set designer’s vision through a physical representation is the model builder. In design meetings, it is understandably difficult for others to fully imagine the finished scenic product based on two-dimensional sketches. Therefore, the scale model becomes the most important and effective tool in representing the world in which a stage show will live.

Character Modeler

Tagged As:

The process of character modeling for video games relies heavily on computer software applications that allow artists to build a three-dimensional character from digital wireframes and virtual clumps of clay. Character modelers work in the medium of polygons, which are shaped, textured, and painted with virtual tools to produce stunningly lifelike human characters and impressively stylized creatures of fantasy.

Titles Designer

Tagged As:

The opening titles sequence of a film or television show is meant to set the mood for the audience and establish a tone for the presentation to follow. Depending on the budget of the production, this sequence may be very elaborate or quite simple. Distinctive titles sequences can also establish a cohesive brand among several products of the same family, as with the very similar style of all Marvel films or epics like Star Wars, Indiana Jones, or The Lord of the Rings.
