About the role
This is an existing role within our team for a creatively curious artist who loves solving complex visual puzzles.

Apply advanced Nuke compositing skills to create "living" concepts that reflect our final VFX pipeline.
Experiment with emerging technologies, such as Gaussian Splatting, to keep our creative offering at the cutting edge.
Collaborate with supervisors and the HOD to ensure your work supports a smooth transition into 2D/3D production.
Communicate your creative process clearly, breaking down complex technical workflows for both artists and stakeholders.
Fostering a culture of continuous learning and process sharing.
A visual background with a strong portfolio in frame and shot composition.

Expertise in Nuke compositing.
Proven ability to use generative AI tools (specifically ComfyUI) within a professional creative workflow.
A proactive approach to identifying and resolving visual issues while maintaining quality and logic.
