The Cinematic Designer’s main task is to work with people across different disciplines to create in-game cutscenes. A Cinematic Designer is expected to be a multi-disciplinary individual capable of learning and adapting to different needs. Their focus is on storytelling, realization and delivering high-quality content in an efficient manner.
The Cinematic Designer should have a basic understanding of composition, framing, and animation. They should also be familiar with using a game engine, as the job requires most of the work be done in one. Familiarity with video editing, animation software or in-engine cutscene creation tools is recommended. They should also have good communication and teamwork skills as Cinematic Designers are expected to communicate with other job disciplines frequently.

- Create in-game cutscenes using proprietary tools.
- Analyze and assess scripts to highlight dependencies and risks.
- Coordinate with Level and Quest Designers to stage cutscenes in the world.
- Work with Lighting, Audio, and VFX Artists on realization of the content.
