• Collaboration: Work closely with comp, layout, and FX to align lighting with shot needs. 
• Optimisation: Keep scenes efficient and caches manageable for farm submission. Deliver noise free renders that match the creative direction of the show and that are production-ready.
• Scene Organisation: Maintain clean lighting scenes with clear naming and version control. 
• Feedback: Respond to notes from leads and supervisors quickly and effectively. Be open to feedback and work iteratively to reach final quality.
• Communication: Keep the team updated on progress and flag blockers early.
