Unreal Production Coordinator

Swaybox Studios is hiring an Unreal Production Coordinator in New Orleans, LA to keep their real-time production pipeline running across a feature film collaboration with DC Studios, Warner Bros. Pictures Animation, and Matt Reeves’ 6th and Idaho. This role sits at the center of the Unreal department, tracking shots, assets, and sequences while coordinating schedules and reviews between artists and cross-functional teams including Sets, CG Modeling, Animation, CG Lighting, and VFX Compositing. It suits a coordinator who has worked inside a technical creative environment, understands real-time or VFX pipeline workflows, and knows how to keep a department on schedule without slowing artists down.

About the Role

The Unreal Production Coordinator reports directly to the Unreal Supervisor and Production Manager, serving as the primary communication link between Unreal artists and the broader feature film production. Day to day, that means maintaining ShotGrid, facilitating dailies, tracking deliveries and publishes, and making sure that bottlenecks get flagged before they become schedule problems. The production involves a virtual production and real-time Unreal Engine pipeline, which means version control and cross-department coordination carry real weight.

Key Responsibilities

• Maintain accurate shot, sequence, asset, and task tracking in ShotGrid (Flow Production Tracking) across all stages of the Unreal pipeline.
• Coordinate artist workloads, priorities, and assignments to support production milestones in a real-time feature film production environment.
• Organize and run dailies and department reviews, capturing notes and tracking action items to completion.
• Manage file deliveries, incoming materials, and publishes while keeping version control and production data organized across departments.
• Identify workflow bottlenecks in the Unreal Engine pipeline and escalate or resolve them before they affect the schedule.
• Onboard new team members, maintain department documentation, and communicate schedule changes clearly to artists, supervisors, and production leadership.

What You Bring

• 3 or more years of production coordination experience in feature animation, VFX, games, virtual production, or a related entertainment field.
• Hands-on experience with ShotGrid (Flow Production Tracking) for shot and asset management.
• Familiarity with Unreal Engine workflows, with prior credits on a feature film, episodic series, game, or virtual production strongly preferred.
• Demonstrated ability to manage shifting priorities across a technical creative team without losing track of deadlines or deliverables.
• Strong cross-department communication skills, with experience coordinating between production, editorial, CG, and VFX teams.

Why This Role

Swaybox Studios is working on a genuinely unusual project, a feature production that brings together major studio partners and a real-time Unreal Engine pipeline in ways that are still rare in feature film production. For a coordinator looking to build credits at the intersection of virtual production and animation, this is a production worth being on. New Orleans is an active production hub, and this role offers direct access to department leadership on a high-profile project.
