Position Summary

We are looking for a Storyboard Artist who reflects the innovative spirit, creative talent, production excellence, collaborative mindset and passion for great filmmaking that define Lucasfilm.

The Storyboard Artist works closely with the writers and directors to convey a story through visual storytelling techniques in a 3D computer graphics environment. They work directly from the script to setup the stage and cameras in a 3D environment. It is their job to explore the possibilities of each scene, capture them as shots with a 3D camera move, and edit their work together as movies for submission to the show's story reel.

This position requires someone to be located in the San Francisco Bay Area. This position is considered Hybrid, which means the employee will work onsite in our San Francisco office and occasionally from home.

  • The 3D Story Artist handles composition, screen direction, camera angles, staging, posing, pace, and timing (all the while ensuring that it maintains and fulfills the storypoint.)

  • Work is done when final 3D camera setups are delivered to downstream production departments.

  • Innovative Project Contributions: Participate in special projects and initiatives, leveraging unique skills in photography, camera, and visual arts to push the boundaries of storytelling in CG animation.

What we’re looking for

  • 5+ years in feature film or television production, or equivalent experience.

  • Bachelor's degree in Film, Animation, or Fine Arts Recommended.

  • Reel containing examples of work in live-action or animated film that exhibits a strong emphasis on visual storytelling, including staging, composition, and editing.

  • Competency in 2D storyboarding, or comparable form.

  • Must be confident working extensively with computers. Experience with using 3D animation software a strong plus.

  • Acting out the scene while working on it for the enjoyment of your coworkers also a plus.

The hiring range for this position in San Francisco is $108,200 to $139,900 per year. The base pay actually offered will take into account internal equity and also may vary depending on the candidate’s geographic region, job-related knowledge, skills, and experience among other factors. A bonus and/or long-term incentive units may be provided as part of the compensation package, in addition to the full range of medical, financial, and/or other benefits, dependent on the level and position offered.
