Fixed Term - Full Time Production Supervisor
About this Role
We are crewing up for Seasons 2 and 3 of our CG animated kids' series and are looking for an experienced Production Supervisor to join our team. The role is for a self-starting, detail oriented person with a passion for animation, spanning the whole production from pre-production through to post production and delivery.
The Production Supervisor works closely with the Line Producer and Producers to prioritise, organise and manage the production, to delegate and supervise work, and to communicate effectively with our internal teams and external partners, including our animation studio partner in Spain.
You will create and maintain tracking documents for work, schedule and costs both in house and with suppliers, attend reviews and take detailed notes, and keep the production ahead of any potential problems.
Duties and Responsibilities
- Work with the Line Producer and Producers to define, set up and manage the production schedule
- Plan and maintain the production diary for the Showrunner, Supervising Director, Producers and key creative personnel
- Integrate and manage the schedules of third party providers, including the animation studio, composer, voice record and post production facilities
- Schedule reviews and meetings throughout production, and distribute clear notes and actions
- Oversee and collate updates from the Production Co-ordinators so that storyboards, animatics, designs, assets, shots and edits are fully tracked
- Create and manage animatic breakdowns from storyboard delivery, cross-referenced to the script breakdown and naming conventions
- Troubleshoot priority issues such as crew availability or schedule conflicts that affect departments further down the pipeline
- Adjust schedules with the Line Producer as required, with strict regard to budget
- Work with the Line Producer and Production Accountant to keep the production on budget and on schedule
- Track, document and report major creative changes that may affect budget or schedule in a timely manner
- Produce and distribute a weekly production report showing departmental progress
- Develop and use planning and work in progress tracking systems, including ShotGrid (Flow Production Tracking)
