Prodigy12: Advanced Unreal Engine Artist

Prodigy12 is our most ambitious work to date: an immersive audiovisual experience inside a purpose-built, mirror-clad structure that reflects Paris on the outside and reimagines it from within. 360° visuals, original music, and live performance converge into a short, high-impact, cinematic encounter for tens of thousands of visitors. Premiering in Paris, the 60-minute show unfolds as a continuous one-shot POV journey, fully built in Unreal Engine. The actors in the story appear both live on stage, as digital on the massive LED.

The Advanced Unreal Engine Artist position is your opportunity to join a startup growing at an extraordinary pace, aiming to redefine how people experience live shows.

Directed by the Roelandt Brothers, we create the entire show and handle everything around it: the screenplay, the environments, the music, the characters – but also build the production, organise the ticket sales and the operations. We create directly for the general public, without intermediaries.

We are looking for someone who is not only a good person but also strives for excellence in what he/she does. Together, we believe that a very strong team can accomplish a great deal. People who are so motivated, so driven to build, so curious to learn, and to join in the journey. We have a clear vision for Prodigy12 and we will do our best to make you fly.
