Production Designer

PRODUCTION DESIGNER
Company: Plotsy
Location: Remote (Must reside in Texas)
The Mission
At Plotsy, we are pioneering a new way to experience stories by transforming written books into cinematic, episodic videos through our proprietary Cineversion™ process. As a Production Designer, your mission is to establish the visual DNA of our adaptations before a single shot is generated. You will bridge human creativity and advanced AI technology, turning prose into a master reference library that ensures absolute visual consistency across dozens of episodes and multiple directors. You are the ultimate keeper of the project’s look.
How You Will Spend Your Time
70% Pre-Production Design: Embedding deeply in the initial phase of the project to build character sheets, design environments, and define color palettes.
15% Reference & Continuity Systems: Writing design documentation and organizing master libraries to ensure flawless production handoffs.
15% Production Support & Iteration: Re-engaging during active production to tackle new assets, revise designs in motion, and support directors.
Daily Responsibilities
Craft Character & Scene DNA: Create comprehensive character sheets (angles, wardrobe, lighting) and design key story environments with strict architectural logic.
Establish Visual Guides: Produce color scripts and lighting keys that dictate the emotional temperature of each episode.
Build the Master Asset Library: Organize reference packages and document design rules so production teams can operate autonomously.
Iterate with AI Tools: Use generative tools to build assets while manually fixing artifacts, masking, and managing seed consistency.
Collaborative Alignment: Work day-to-day with the Showrunner, Directors, and Chief Production Officer (CPO) to rapidly translate feedback into refined artwork.
What You Must Bring
Background: Proven experience as a Production Designer, Art Director, or Concept Artist with a portfolio showing fully realized worlds.
Character Consistency: Elite ability to maintain exact character continuity across different outfits, angles, and lighting setups.
Generative & Technical Mastery: Expert-level command of AI platforms (Midjourney, Nano Banana, Kling, Google Veo, Runway) alongside seed management, control nets, and upscaling.
Traditional Art Foundation: Grounding in anatomy, perspective, and color theory, allowing you to fix by hand what an AI model distorts.
Literary & Cinematic Literacy: Ability to extract visual essentials from prose and a strong understanding of camera lenses, composition, and lighting.
Application Requirements
If you are a cinematic storyteller who thrives at the intersection of text, design, and cutting-edge tech, come define the visual DNA of our next adaptation.
Your portfolio must include one character rendered across three outfits, three lighting setups, and three camera angles, plus one environment shown from multiple vantage points. Consistency is key.
