We come from many different places, but what unites us is our passion. At Moment Factory, each new project is a blank page awaiting the creativity and talent of our whole team, no matter the individual responsibilities, roles, or fields. Our desire to innovate, to take risks, and to learn from our mistakes and from each other is what allows us to create collective projects that go above and beyond. Today, thanks to a team of 450 creative minds, we have been able to create immersive multimedia environments for artists, museums, airports, brands, theme parks and events, as well as our signature shows. No matter the canvas - be it film, lighting, multimedia architecture, sound design, special effects, or interactive projects - the thirst for experimentation and innovation is at the core of our DNA.YOUR TEAMThe CG team is much more than a link in the production chain - it is the beating heart of digital creation. It precisely orchestrates every stage of the multimedia production pipeline to bring powerful, ambitious, and technically flawless visual experiences to life.Working closely with the Content Producer, the CG team develops tailored production strategies that optimize timelines, resources, and creative impact. Together, they ensure smooth, innovative execution that is always aligned with the project's vision.YOUR MISSIONAs a CG Supervisor, you are part of the creative team responsible for the design, animation, and production of animated visual content for both permanent and temporary multimedia installations.You act as a manager responsible for the artistic and technical quality of the projects assigned to you, contributing to their analysis, recruitment, communication, and supervision of the teams involved.Beyond traditional CG supervision responsibilities (budget, scheduling, quality), you will serve as the technical and operational pillar for transitioning certain projects to Unreal Engine. You will define standards, optimize workflows, and act as a mentor to ensure the smooth integration of this technology across projects (Mapping, Previz, Final Render).🚀ROLES AND RESPONSIBILITIESStrategic Vision & Unreal Pipeline
