Cinematics Director
for sections like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections that have real specific content. Must not repeat job title. Must not include Job ID etc. Must preserve all substantive info. Remove boilerplate: cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning, duplicated lines, application instructions. Also remove "WHAT MAKES US EPIC?" maybe part of about us? It's about company culture; could be part of About Us. We need to parse the posting.
Let's extract sections:
- About the role? The posting includes "What We Do", "What You'll Do", "What We're Looking For", "Nice to have", "EPIC JOB + EPIC BENEFITS = EPIC LIFE", "About Us". Also "WHAT MAKES US EPIC?" is intro.
We need to map to headings: About the role (maybe "What We Do" or "About the role"?). Responsibilities (What You'll Do). Requirements (What We're Looking For). Qualifications maybe same as Requirements? Skills maybe "Nice to have"? Benefits (EPIC JOB + EPIC BENEFITS = EPIC LIFE). Pay? Not mentioned. Schedule? Not mentioned. So we should not include Pay or Schedule sections.
We need to include sections only when there is real specific content. So we can have:
About the role
(maybe combine "WHAT MAKES US EPIC?" and "What We Do"? Actually "About the role" could be description of role: "What We Do" and "What You'll Do"? But we need separate sections: About the role (maybe summary), Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits.
We need to avoid duplication. Let's decide:
- About the role: Could be the introductory paragraph about Epic and the role: "WHAT MAKES US EPIC? At the core..." plus maybe "Cinematic Director, Fortnite Ecosystem – Cinematic Trailers" but we cannot repeat job title. Could include description of team and mission.
- Responsibilities: "What You'll Do" bullet list.
- Requirements: "What We're Looking For" bullet list (mandatory).
- Qualifications: maybe same as Requirements? But we could treat "What We're Looking For" as Requirements, and "Nice to have" as Skills or Qualifications? Actually "Nice to have" could be Skills (preferred). Or we could have Qualifications for mandatory, Skills for nice-to-have.
- Benefits: "EPIC JOB + EPIC BENEFITS = EPIC LIFE" details.
- About Us: maybe not needed as separate heading? Could be part of About the role? But we have "About Us" section describing company. Could be included as About the role? Might be better to have a separate "About the company" but not in allowed headings list. Allowed headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. So we should fit company description into About the role perhaps.
Thus:
About the role
... combine WHAT MAKES US EPIC? and What We Do and About Us? But we need to preserve all substantive info, not invent. So we need to include all content from those sections. Let's list substantive content blocks: 1. "WHAT MAKES US EPIC? At the core of Epic’s success are talented, passionate people. Epic prides itself on creating a collaborative, welcoming, and creative environment. Whether it’s building award-winning games or crafting engine technology that enables others to make visually stunning interactive experiences, we’re always innovating. Being Epic means being a part of a team that continually strives to do right by our community and users. We’re constantly innovating to raise the bar of engine and game development." 2. "Cinematic Director, Fortnite Ecosystem – Cinematic Trailers" (job title, but we cannot repeat as heading; we can maybe include as a paragraph? The instruction: do NOT repeat the job title as a heading (the page already shows it) and do NOT put Job ID / requisition numbers as headings — fold minor metadata into a short
or drop it. So we can include the job title in a
maybe as part of About the role? It's minor metadata; we could drop it. Probably safe to drop it. 3. "What We Do In the Cinematics Team, we are pushing the boundaries of what is possible in realtime. We are in the early stages of this growth in realtime quality work and we are growing quickly and implementing various techniques and ideas to improve what can be done in Unreal Engine. Our team is one of the few at the forefront of delivering innovation, through cinematic quality visuals." 4. "What You'll Do Epic Games is searching for a collaborative Cinematic Director to join our Fortnite cinematics team who can help craft high-impact trailers and short-form content that connects with the Fortnite audience. We're looking for a hands-on filmmaker who uses Unreal Engine as a creative tool and is excited to jump into Sequencer to explore, iterate, and build. Tone matters as much as craft. Strong comedic instincts and a feel for playful, irreverent, character-driven storytelling - someone who understands timing, performance, and visual comedy while still delivering cinematic scale and polish. This is a highly collaborative role working alongside our existing directors and discipline leads to brainstorm, rapidly pitch, and bring ideas to life. You'll manage multiple trailers simultaneously while incorporating feedback from Marketing, Art Direction, Game Direction, and other partners without compromising the creative intent. In this role, you will ..." then bullet list. Let's extract bullet list items under "What You'll Do": - Collaborate with our directors and discipline leads to define the creative vision, story, tone, and visual language for Fortnite cinematic trailers and short-form content. - Develop and pitch original story and comedy ideas, taking them from early concept through final delivery. - Work hands-on in Unreal Engine 5, building and iterating sequences in Sequencer. - Translate scripts and storyboards into compelling shots through composition, camera movement, performance, pacing, and visual comedy. - Manage multiple projects simultaneously while synthesizing feedback from Marketing, Art Direction, Game Direction, and other creative partners. - Partner across Animation, Layout, Lighting, FX, Production, and Technical Art to bring the creative vision to life. - Collaborate with the Animation Director on performance and motion capture, and oversee scene assembly in Unreal Engine. - Communicate ideas quickly through storyboards, draw-overs, animatics, rip-o-matics, and other visual tools. - Explore emerging tools and workflows that help the team iterate quickly and push creative quality. 5. "What We're Looking For A portfolio or reel demonstrating short-form directing, character-driven storytelling, strong comedic instincts, and visual storytelling. Directing XP across animation, cinematic trailers, commercials, digital shorts, games, or other short-form entertainment. Strong cinematic fundamentals, including shot design, composition, camera movement, editing, pacing, and performance. Hands-on XP with Unreal Engine and Sequencer; familiarity with Control Rig workflows. A collaborative mindset and comfort developing ideas through brainstorming, rapid iteration, and shared creative ownership. A distinct creative point of view and willingness to challenge assumptions while remaining open to feedback. Ability to manage multiple projects simultaneously and adapt quickly as creative direction and priorities evolve. Ability to communicate creative intent across Animation, Layout, Lighting, FX, and technical teams." 6. "Nice to have Experience directing actors, performance capture, or motion capture sessions. Background in animation, storyboarding, editing, or visual development. Familiarity with modeling, skinning, rigging, or technical art. Interest in emerging animation and filmmaking technologies, including procedural and AI-assisted workflows. Scripting or technical art knowledge, including Python or Blueprints." 7. "EPIC JOB + EPIC BENEFITS = EPIC LIFE Our intent is to cover all things that are medically necessary and improve the quality of life. We pay 100% of the premiums for both you and your dependents. Our coverage includes Medical, Dental, a Vision HRA, Long Term Disability, Life Insurance & a 401k with competitive match. We also offer a robust mental well-being program through Modern Health, which provides free therapy and coaching for employees & dependents. Throughout the year we celebrate our employees with events and company-wide paid breaks. We offer unlimited PTO and sick time and recognize individuals for 7 years of employment with a paid sabbatical." 8. "About Us Epic Games is a leading interactive entertainment company. For over 30 years we've been making award-winning games and engine technology that empowers others to make visually stunning games and 3D content that bring environments to life like never before. Epic's award-winning Unreal Engine technology not only provides game developers the ability to build high-fidelity, interactive experiences for PC, console, mobile, and VR, it is also a tool being embraced by content creators across a variety of industries such as media and entertainment, automotive, and architectural design. As we continue to build our Engine technology and develop remarkable games, we strive to build teams of world-class talent. Like what you hear? Come be a part of something Epic! Epic Games deeply values diverse teams and an inclusive work culture, and we are proud to be an Equal Opportunity employer. Learn more about our Equal Employment Opportunity (EEO) Policy here.

We will not pay any fees to any unauthorized third party. Further details on these matters can be found here." We need to remove boilerplate: EEO policy, note to recruitment agencies, etc. Also remove duplicated lines? Not seeing duplicates. Thus we keep About Us content but maybe we can incorporate into About the role? The About Us is separate but we could put it under About the role as description of company. However the instruction: "Use
for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)." So we can have About the role heading and include both role description and company info. That seems okay.
We must not repeat job title as heading; we can include it in a paragraph maybe but it's minor metadata; we could drop it. Safer to drop it.
Now we need to output only HTML fragment, no /, no markdown fences.
Thus produce something like:
