- Accurately record, use and analyze data from production supervisors
- Study linear perspective and other properties of 3D space
- Perform and deliver accurate match move data on schedule
- Problem solve and predict potential problems with assigned tasks
- Use and understand 3D modeling and deformation tools
- Give input to software design tools and interface to improve throughput
- Understanding of matrices, rotations, translations, scale, and gimbal lock
- Accurately reconstruct 3D geometry based on photographs
- BS preferred or equivalent experience in 3D graphics
- Strong technical background or matchmove experience
- Ability to perform visual and analytical problem solving in 3D space
- Ability to perform repetitive, high detail and tedious tasks
- Linux/UNIX proficiency
- Scripting ability - Perl, csh, etc.
- Understand local coordinate versus world coordinate space and 3D hierarchies
- Understanding of camera parameters such as focus and focal length
- Strict attention to detail in enforcing production standards
- Good typing skills
- Ability to work well in a team environment
- High interest in film production and computer graphics
- Ability to perform repetitive, high detail and tedious tasks
