Guru studio, the award winning and internationally renowned animation facility in Toronto, is looking for a multi-talented CG artist to join the lighting team to work on visual FX for a Television series. The ideal candidate will exhibit a strong ability to solve creative problems under pressure, and use all tools available to complete the look of the show.
The show will be Lit and Rendered using Mach Studio Pro, a real time GPU based lighting tool. Mach studio allows for the exporting of multiple render passes. Experience working in a CG Lighting pipeline is a MUST.

- Ability to move back and forth between After Effects, Mach Studio Pro and Maya to generate the look that is required.
- Required to learn the Mach Studio rendering environment for generating passes, animating glows etc.

Hi,
I’d like to apply for a position as a lighter. I have attached the path to my demo reel. My friend Barry Lam, already mentioned that Guru is looking for lighting artists, but I was employed at that point and still is. My contract will come to an end in a week, and I seeking employment as a lighter.
I can send my resume and coverletter as soon as I get to work.
Please get back to me if have any questions.
Kind regards,
Ram.
