Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolSteve Sparkes is a Senior Capture Artist and in-engine specialist with over a decade of experience extracting cinematic content from Unreal, Unity and Godot for game trailers and user acquisition. He combines gameplay programming, tech art and audio engineering to build bespoke camera tools and capture pipelines that enable shots impossible in standard play, and he documents best practices to speed iteration across projects. A Masters graduate in Games Enterprise and BAFTA Crew Games member (2018–20), he’s equally comfortable shipping UI systems, implementing animation/audio, or reworking gameplay for capture. Based in Cardiff, he freelances and contracts (including rapid-turnaround trailer mixes at CHEEKBONE), bringing a rare blend of sound design training and engine-level programming that helps games look—and sound—their best.
