• Enhance shots with effects like glows, shadows, reflections, and motion blur.

• Troubleshoot and solve technical and artistic compositing challenges.

• Ensure all final output meets quality and delivery standards.

Skill Required

• Proficiency in compositing software like Nuke, After Effects, Fusion, or Blackmagic Resolve.

• Strong knowledge of color grading, camera lenses, depth of field, and motion.

• Understanding of the animation or VFX pipeline.

• Excellent eye for detail and a strong sense of aesthetics.

• Ability to work independently and collaboratively under tight deadlines.
