Mid-Level VFX Artist, Feature Film

Looking for a talented Mid-Level VFX Artist to join our independent feature film production in Los Angeles. This is an ambitious drama with strong fantasy elements, think grounded storytelling with bursts of visual wonder. We're aiming for practical effects where possible, but need a skilled artist to enhance, extend, and create several key sequences. Responsibilities include compositing, clean-up, rotoscoping, and some 3D work for environmental enhancements and magical effects. We need someone who can work efficiently and creatively within a smaller team, contributing to the overall visual storytelling. You should have a solid reel showcasing your experience, particularly with dramatic narratives or fantasy elements. While we have some gear, familiarity with common VFX software suites (Nuke, After Effects, Maya, Houdini) is expected. We're looking for someone who can hit the ground running. Shoot dates are approximately late summer/early fall for a 4-6 week schedule, with pre-production and post-production VFX work to follow. We're a lean operation, so expect flexible hours during post. Compensation is points in the film, plus a deferred payment structure. We're a passionate crew building something special, and we'd love for you to be a part of it.
