Internship overview
Clear Angle Studios is a world-leading company based in Pinewood Studios which covers all aspects of scanning for VFX, from full 360º character scanning in its multi camera systems, LiDAR scanning of sets and high-resolution environment acquisition.
Your role as an intern would include supporting the team with:
- the setup, shooting and maintenance of their multi-camera, full-body character scanning systems
- on location scanning
- handling and organising captured data

During this 4-week internship, you will be provided with in-person training by CAVE Academy and Clear Angle Studios on topics such as how to shoot HDRIs and panoramas, capture texture and look dev reference, and shooting geometry reference. A structured progression path will also be presented, and you will get hands-on mentorship from the Clear Angle Studios team.
On successful completion of the internship, interns will be assessed and opportunities to progress into Junior Capture Assistant roles will be offered to select candidates.
This is a paid internship programme for up to 6 artists. The internship does not include travel or housing assistance.
Please note – applicants must be eligible to work in the U.K. and have a full clean driving license and means of transportation.
Who are Clear Angle Studios?
In 2013, after many hours of blood, sweat and tears, Dominic Ridley and Christopher Friend incorporated Clear Angle Studios, and after one year of trading had grown to four staff and one rig. Fast forward 8 years and CAS now services clients from all over the world, with varying requirements and budgets, and employs over 50 legendary crew globally. Big enough to make it all run like clockwork but small enough to still feel like a family.
Whether it’s a living or inanimate object you require captured in 3D, CAS can more than likely make it happen. CAS prides itself on being adaptable, sympathetic, accurate and affordable. And they love to meet new people.
