Careers at Studio Lantern Solutions
A production studio in Venice. Work that gets measured for a year, and honest conversations about making less of it.
Why work with us
Your work is tracked
Every asset you make is measured for twelve months. It is uncommon in production and it makes people better at it quickly.
No volume targets
Nobody is measured on pieces delivered. Recommending a smaller production is a good outcome here.
Proper crew conditions
Turnaround between shoot days is respected and overtime is paid rather than absorbed.
Published salary
Every advertisement carries the real range. No unpaid work, ever, including spec treatments.
Current vacancies
All roles are based at our Venice, CA office unless stated otherwise. Salary ranges are published with every advertisement and we do not negotiate candidates against one another.
