Solid roundup, that ON Services role caught my eye since it explicitly bridges storyboarding with 3D previs work. Most job postings separate those skillsets pretty hard, but the reality is they overlap way more than studios admit. In my experienc, being able to sketch rough boards before jumping into Cinema helps sell concepts way faster than going straight to full renders.
