The Role
Develop and support motion-capture and Motion Edit pipelines, tools, and integrations for production-ready shots. Build scalable workflows combining retargeted motion, layout, cameras, props, and scene data; automate repetitive processes; troubleshoot technical issues; and improve pipeline performance and quality. The role requires extensive Vicon, Xsens, head-mounted camera, MotionBuilder, and Python experience, global team collaboration, and travel to Mumbai for on-set and production support.
Summary Generated by Built In
The Motion Capture TD - Motion Capture Edit is responsible for developing and supporting the technical workflows, pipeline integrations and tools used to transform motion capture data into production-ready Motion Edit shots.
The role focuses on building efficient workflows for combining retargeted motion, layout and camera data; developing tools for shot and crowd Motion Edit work; and ensuring that Motion Capture and Motion Edit integrate effectively into the wider production pipeline.
Candidates may be based in the UK, North America or Europe but must be willing and able to travel to India and work on set and with the wider team.
Key Responsibilities
Shot-Building Pipeline
- Develop and maintain workflows for constructing Motion Edit shots from retargeted motion, layout, camera data, props and associated scene data where required.
- Ensure shot-building processes are reliable, repeatable and scalable.
- Reduce unnecessary manual setup and technical overhead for artists.
- Motion Edit Tools
- Develop tools supporting Motion Edit workflows for individual shots and crowd work.
- Identify repetitive or error-prone processes suitable for automation.
Pipeline Integration
- Supervise the technical integration of Motion Capture and Motion Edit data into the production pipeline.
- Work with Pipeline and Technology teams to define requirements for Motion Edit workflows.
- Ensure output is compatible with downstream Animation, Layout and CG processes.
- Identify and resolve technical issues affecting the transfer and usability of motion data.
Performance & Quality Improvement
- Develop technical solutions that increase the speed and quality of animation delivery.
- Profile workflow bottlenecks and recommend technical improvements.
- Support artists and supervisors with complex technical troubleshooting.
- Contribute to continuous development of Motion Edit pipeline standards and best practices.
- Provide technical readiness and dependency information to the Global Motion Capture Producer so priorities and handoffs can be coordinated effectively.
Must have
- Demonstrated expertise in developing and managing post-production workflows, including retargeting, motion editing, shot assembly and pipeline tooling to support end-to-end cinematic production.
- Extensive experience working within a large-scale motion capture studio, developing and delivering robust workflows, pipelines and tools to support high-volume, high-intensity capture environments.
- Extensive hands-on experience with Vicon (setup, capture and processing), Xsens, head-mounted camera systems and MotionBuilder.
- Strong proficiency in Python, with proven experience developing tools to optimise Motion Capture workflows and enhance pipeline efficiency.
- Proven experience overseeing the development, implementation and ongoing support of animation pipelines, from retargeting and motion editing through to final delivery for crowds, vignettes and individual shots.
- Willingness and ability to travel to Mumbai, working both on set and work with the wider team, with the schedule to be confirmed.
- Proven experience working within a global organisation, managing geographically dispersed teams, multiple motion capture studio locations and concurrent projects while maintaining consistent technical and operational standards.
About you
- A confident and effective communicator, able to collaborate seamlessly across creative, technical and management teams, engaging with stakeholders at all levels of the business.
