iRT3D producer
Overview
Producers are the most sought-after vacancy in the UK games industry in 2022. However, the only way to learn how to be an effective producer is by doing. We will give you the tools, knowledge and opportunity you need to experience bringing the team together and rallying them around a shared vision. A great producer acts as a force multiplier. You must be organised and balanced whether you manage teams, projects or both. You can jump from triaging and resolving issues internally, to working with and communicating outside of the team; dealing with stakeholders such as publishers, marketers or players/users.
To become a great producer, you first need to be a producer. We help you refine your skillset in a live studio environment. You’ll work with our team to develop your skills and behaviours, to help demonstrate your ability to effectively manage and synergise with our team in a live studio setting.
An iRT3D Producer is capable of more than simply motivating the team and clearing blockers. They need to be confident in their application of industry-standard production tools and software, leveraging it to coordinate the activities of the multitude of disciplines involved in game development. Throughout development, an effective producer must always have a keen focus on both the project’s goals and the experience of the end-user. At the same time, they need to be attentive to the needs of the developers, both short and long term, keeping their finger on the pulse of both the project’s development and the team making it.
On the iRT3D Production Strand, you will learn to develop professionally on a commercial project, to a high standard, using industry standard tools and methodologies.
