Trainee Rotoscope Artist

The Rotoscope department is responsible for creating accurate and detailed Roto mattes for the Compositing team and assisting to integrate CG and live action to create seamless visual effects shots.

This role requires a high level of technical skill and artistic judgement and is an excellent opportunity for graduates or similar applicants with a passion for VFX to join our outstanding and growing team at the ground level. While we do list clear requirements for this role, we’re always open to talking with people that don't tick every box - and had very successful experiences doing so.
- Be an excellent communicator / team player with the ability to thrive under tight deadlines.
- Possess a great eye for detail.
- Have strong technical skills and the ability to learn new software quickly.
- Have strong problem-solving skills.
- Knowledge of Python would be a bonus but not a requirement

If you are familiar with Linux, SilhouetteFX, Nuke, MochaPro and Maya or other any video/compositing software we would love to hear from you.
