Virtual Production Consultant

Virtual Production Consultant

Department: The Studio B&H

Reports To: General Manager, The Studio B&H

Position Overview

The Virtual Production Consultant plays a key role in supporting The Studio B&H’s mission to provide advanced technology solutions for film, broadcast, and immersive production environments. This role combines deep technical understanding with client-facing sales expertise, helping to design, implement, and integrate state-of-the-art virtual production workflows.

Candidates should have a strong foundation with traditional production tools, including broadcast and cinema cameras, lenses, and lighting, along with advanced knowledge of in-camera VFX technologies such as LED volumes, camera tracking systems, media servers (Disguise, Pixera, LiveFX), real-time rendering with Unreal Engine, and image-based lighting (IBL). A clear understanding of how these systems integrate across production and post-production environments is essential.

This is a client-facing sales position that requires technical fluency, professionalism, and the ability to communicate complex concepts clearly. The Virtual Production Consultant will collaborate with The Studio team, B2B reps, vendors, and system integration partners to deliver reliable and innovative solutions for B&H’s professional client base. The position reports directly to the General Manager of The Studio B&H.
