• Craft and execute high-end real-time lighting for cinematic sequences in Unreal Engine 5 with minimal oversight. • Use color theory and composition to establish the emotional tone of a scene based on color scripts and concept art. • Independently improve lighting setups, inventing novel solutions for shots to ensure visual continuity across sequences. • Fine-tune light properties, surface shaders, and post-process volumes (bloom, fog, color grading) to achieve gold-standard visuals. • Navigate a shot-based pipeline to deliver high-quality work within tight production deadlines. • Work seamlessly within the client’s internal pipeline, maintaining clear communication and a solution-oriented mindset. • Ensure lighting setups are optimized for real-time performance without sacrificing visual fidelity.
