About The Position

ZeroSpace is a digital agency and production studio specializing in emerging technologies and real-time 3D for virtual production, CG animation, and immersive experiences. Our unique facility houses the largest fixed-install LED volume on the East Coast, industry-standard Vicon motion capture systems, and a state-of-the-art volumetric capture studio. We're an interdisciplinary team of technologists and artists where technical innovation meets creative vision. Our clients include major film studios, Oscar-winning directors, and the biggest brands in the world. The Role We're seeking a Technical Producer to orchestrate the technical execution of our most ambitious productions, from virtual production and motion capture shoots on our stages to interactive installations to AR/VR experiences.
