We collaborate with international studios and independent filmmakers to help bring cinematic visions to life with precision and artistry.
Position Overview:

Your responsibilities will include:

- Collaborate closely with compositors and paint artists to ensure integration with the larger VFX pipeline

- Meet production deadlines while maintaining high visual quality
- Follow naming conventions and studio guidelines
Qualifications:
- 1–3 years of experience in a VFX/post-production environment
- Proficiency with Silhouette FX, Mocha, and Nuke
- Ability to execute frame-by-frame roto as well as tracking-assisted roto techniques
- Solid understanding of motion, edge detail, and feathering
- Strong eye for detail and consistency across complex movements
- A showreel that demonstrates clean, accurate mattes and your roto workflow
Nice to Have:
- Experience working on feature films or episodic content
- Familiarity with clean plate generation or basic paint techniques
- Knowledge of 3D matchmoving or projection techniques
- Comfort working in a collaborative, feedback-driven environment
We’re proud to be an inclusive, creative-driven studio where every pixel and every person matters. We welcome artists from all backgrounds and identities to apply.
