Position Summary

The Layout department at ILM encompasses a variety of layout related work and tasks which would fall under other departments at other studios such as: Facial Capture, set asset creation, and sculpting amongst others. The Lead Layout Artist will need to be flexible at learning and picking up new software/workflows depending on the project.
