Film Innovation Supervisor

What we are looking for:

We are seeking a Film Innovation Specialist to join our London team and help drive innovation for our ground-breaking visual dubbing products. You will collaborate with our Product, Production, Engineering, and Science teams to rapidly develop, test, analyse and use new solutions that push the boundaries of our AI-powered technology.

You will split your time between pure innovation work and taking on complex edge-case production tasks. For production work, you will be tasked with creative problem-solving to handle challenging 'vubbing' (visual dubbing) requests from customers and develop solutions and best practices that can be implemented across the production team. On the innovation side, you will identify areas for potential product improvements through hands-on testing and analysis. Your findings will directly inform development of new features and capabilities.

• Troubleshoot the 'visual dubbing' of film and TV shows
• Investigate issues as part of a small UK-based team
• Maintain high-quality standards in a deadline-driven environment
• Gain a deep understanding of the visual dubbing process to assist, identify and solve problems
• Liaise with other UK & US supervisors to streamline processes on an ongoing basis for efficiency and quality

• Strong familiarity with TV/film post-production workflow (from shooting to final delivery)
• Experience handling a range of file formats (preferably including EXRs) and codecs for audio and video 
• Knowledge of color spaces (including ACES color space)
• Proficiency in industry-standard editing software (preferably DaVinci Resolve  - as an editing tool, rather than color correction - but can be e.g. Avid, Adobe Premiere)
• A basic understanding of compositing
• A deep understanding of audio sync, in particular with regard to lip sync
• Strong attention to detail and exceptional communication skills
• Great attitude and approach to work
• Excellent time management
• Ability to adapt to changing requirements

• Flow (ShotGrid/Shotgun) or other task management database experience
• Interest in language/linguistics
• Interest in Generative Artificial Intelligence
• Experience working in a team of 3 or more people in a deadline-driven environment
• Any experience or knowledge of Foundry Nuke
• Experience in picture QC / review processes
• Familiarity with spreadsheets
• Some programming experience (Python, Bash)
•  Prior experience in tracking objects or faces

In this role, you will be at the forefront of an industry-leading business that is pioneering a revolution in filmmaking. As a key member of the team, you will help define the future of post-production and will gain immense exposure as a leader in this historic advancement.

You will gain an in-depth understanding of generative AI, emerging film workflows, and the development of new production processes. This is a unique opportunity to become an expert in cinematic-quality image processing and lip-sync technology while working alongside world-leading visual scientists.
