VFX for Pilot

I'm looking for a talented mid-level Visual Effects Artist to join us on an exciting sci-fi pilot for an independent production. This project is a gritty, character-driven story with a few key sequences requiring high-quality, believable VFX work to establish the futuristic environment. We're talking subtle enhancements and integration, not huge explosions, but enough to sell the world we're building. Your main responsibilities will include compositing, matte painting, and some 3D integration, working closely with the director and our post-production team. We need someone who can work efficiently and creatively within a modest budget, bringing a strong eye for detail and realism to our visuals. You'll need to have your own workstation and software, and a solid reel demonstrating your ability to execute polished VFX work is essential. Experience with Nuke or Adobe After Effects is a must. The shoot is happening in Chicago, IL, with approximate post-production dates in late summer. We anticipate a flexible schedule, around 8-10 hour days, typically 3-4 days a week during the designated VFX period. We'll provide all necessary footage and assets, clear creative direction, and a collaborative environment. This is a great opportunity to make a significant visual impact on an ambitious new series.
