Live/Special Event Production Jobs

Preliminary schedule includes 3-5 prep days, and 2 shooting days.

This is a truly unique production design position, and a dream-gig for anyone who is a big fan of the anime/manga 'Naruto'.

We are brining the show to life with a real 'Chunin Exam', complete with contestants, rules, and jutsu. The exam will take place over a two day shoot, matching some elements shown in the anime, as well as a few innovations of our own.

Looking for a production designer who is also a huge fan of Naruto / Shippuden to help build this world, help design the tests in a fun, engaging and safe way, as well as helm the art department and oversee the design of props, ninja 'tools', etc.

This will be a very art-heavy shoot, and we're looking to create an engaging game that is genuinely difficult for the contestants to complete. As we are early on in designing the tests, your creative input would be highly influential on the direction this project takes.

The contestants will be well-known YouTubers / Content Creators in the anime/manga space. If this kind of project excites you, please let me know why you'd be the perfect fit for this job, your history with Naruto, and perhaps any initial ideas you would have to make the Chunin Exams exciting.
