Framestore’s Preproduction Services division enables filmmakers and showrunners to make early-stage, creative decisions that can then guide their entire production. We have over a hundred creatives, technologists and producers working across concept art, previsualisation, virtual production, in-camera VFX, techvis and postvis.
Framestore combines talent and technology to bring life to everything we create. Driven by creativity and inspired by the future, we set out every day to reframe the possible.
As a Previs Artist, you will design pre-visualised shots and sequences on a project basis, working with the creative direction of the Visualisation Supervisor to define the shot composition, staging, lighting and camera language - including movement- lens choices, and framing. Our Previs Artists’ skill sets are varied but are seen as the in-house cinematographers and 3D storyboarders visualising the Directors initial edit that will inform the shoot and post-production VFX lifecycle.
You will also need to produce technical information in diagram form or animated schematics, otherwise known as, ‘techvis’ - based on the previs.
Framestore offers a hybrid working model, requiring two days per week at our central London studio. Depending on project needs, this role may also involve on-set work for up to five days per week.
