Our creative services agency is seeking a full-time VFX Editor / AI Compositor who is equal parts creative thinker, visual problem solver and storyteller. We're looking for someone who can take live-action footage and push it beyond what was captured on set, including rotoscoping talent and products, replacing or extending environments, removing unwanted elements, and compositing footage into entirely new worlds using both traditional VFX techniques and generative AI. You should have a strong eye for what makes a composite feel believable, including lighting, perspective, color, shadows, depth, grain and movement, while also being curious about new AI tools and how they can be incorporated into professional post-production workflows. This is also an editing role. You should know how to find the story within the footage, select strong performances, shape pacing, work with music and comedy, and build a compelling finished piece, not just execute individual VFX shots. Our creative team is a small group of big thinkers who like to collaborate, experiment and contribute ideas across disciplines.
