Production Assistant

Who We Are

Beyond Capture is a state-of-the-art performance capture studio with multiple studios across Canada. Our Flagship location is located in the heart of Gastown in Vancouver, BC with a production office around the corner in Chinatown, and a new volume making waves in Montreal, Quebec.Since opening our doors 5 years ago we’ve grown to be a leader in the industry working on some of the biggest and best titles to be released in both film and gaming. Our hard work and industry knowledge has made Beyond a premier partner for both local and foreign productions and is the reason why we continue to grow both our square footage and team.

Here at Beyond we believe and support the work-life balance of our employees. While many companies preach a culture that promotes a life outside the office, we choose to lead by example. We foster this balance through offering remote work opportunities, hosting team events, stocking our offices with games and exercise equipment, and asking our staff for new ways to make work fun and keep it between office hours.
