Job Description

We are looking for a Senior Compositor who reflects the innovative spirit, creative talent, production excellence, collaborative mindset, and passion for great filmmaking that define ILM.

Compositors combine live action and computer-generated elements into visual effects shots that realize the vision and creative direction of the client and Visual Effects Supervisor. The Senior Compositor ultimately maintains the aesthetic integrity and technical quality of the final image delivered to the client.

What You’ll Do

  • Work with the Compositing Supervisor and Visual Effects Supervisor to evaluate the creative and technical approach for assigned shots.
  • Perform all tasks associated with the compositing process, including 2D tracking, matte extraction, layering of elements, and color grading on difficult shots.
  • Maintain the overall look, color balance, and quality for assigned shots and sequences to create uniformity in all finished work.
  • Create generic looks for other artists to apply.
  • Work collaboratively with artists from other disciplines.
  • Independently provide solutions to technical and aesthetic problems with minimal direction, and can handle the most difficult tasks under intense time pressure.

What We’re Looking For

  • At least 5 years relevant professional VFX experience and at least a college level diploma in computer graphics, fine arts, design, or photography, or related field; OR at least 7 years relevant professional VFX experience in lieu of education.
  • Strong knowledge of Nuke.
  • Strong aesthetic skills in judging photo-realism and color.
  • Ability to work gracefully under pressure to meet deadlines.
  • Strong sense of composition, color, and design.
  • Ideal candidate has strong fine arts foundation skills, such as photography and photographic lighting.
  • Nice to have:
  • Can quickly learn new software and techniques.
  • Strong communication skills.
  • Familiarity with using Linux systems.
  • Previous experience in look development and sequence supervision is ideal.
  • Ability to write Nuke gizmos and/or plugins.
  • Python and/or C++ knowledge.
The hiring range for this position in San Francisco, CA is $132,300 to $169,300 per year. The base pay actually offered will take into account internal equity and also may vary depending on the candidate’s geographic region, job-related knowledge, skills, and experience among other factors. A bonus and/or long-term incentive units may be provided as part of the compensation package, in addition to the full range of medical, financial, and/or other benefits, dependent on the level and position offered. #J-18808-Ljbffr
