Senior Compositors – VFX, NSW
Looking for an opportunity to step up into some responsibility and career growth? Australian VFX studios like our client, based on the continent’s sunny east coast, offer the chance for you to become much more than a cog in a wheel.
Compositing in Nuke to the highest standards of world-class photorealism, you’ll have the same opportunities to work on high-profile tentpole features as you would in a big multinational studio.
The difference? Well, you’ll know the name of everyone you work with. You’ll be surrounded by a team that knows you, too, and cares about you and your professional development.
We’re looking for a team-focussed Senior Compositor. Our client is looking for artists who want to come to work in the studio, contribute to the team and the culture, and grow with them into the future.
