GENERAL JOB DESCRIPTION

AOA is seeking a Visualization Designer to create compelling visual content and cinematic presentations for themed entertainment projects.

They should be comfortable developing scenes across a range of visual styles, from photorealistic to artistic to stylized, and understand how to use composition, lighting, mood, materials, and camera language to bring an idea to life. While this role will often focus on pre-rendered media and cinematic output, the ideal candidate should also understand how to build assets and scenes thoughtfully so they can be efficiently leveraged for other uses when needed.

Familiarity with Sequencer, lighting workflows, materials, atmosphere, and environment polish in Unreal

Experience with stylized rendering or non-photoreal visual development

Familiarity with DCC tools such as Blender, Maya, 3ds Max, Photoshop, or Adobe Creative Suite
