Responsibilities

• Create feature-film quality character elements, environments, and motion assets for use in production
• Use generative AI image and video tools to create, explore, and iterate visual ideas against a clear creative brief
• Work within node-based generative AI workflows to generate and refine production assets
• Use conditioning and control techniques to shape composition, pose, character consistency, and overall visual style
• Create and refine image-to-video, video-to-video, and other generative motion outputs, maintaining visual quality and consistency across sequences
• Adjust lighting, perspective, composition, and other visual elements using multimodal editing tools and established creative techniques
• Identify and correct artifacts, inconsistencies, and other visual issues in generated content
• Perform light compositing, paint, and finishing work where needed to deliver polished, production-ready assets
• Collaborate with other artists, technical artists, and production teams to maintain the creative vision and quality of the project
• Test emerging tools and techniques, providing feedback to help improve the workflows used by the wider team

Requirements

• A strong artistic foundation and excellent visual judgement, particularly when creating photorealistic imagery
• Strong professional experience creating high-quality visual content within film, VFX, animation, games, or another relevant creative production environment
• Hands-on experience using generative AI tools to create and refine high-quality, photorealistic imagery
• Experience using node-based generative AI workflows such as ComfyUI or similar graph-based tools
• Experience using conditioning and control techniques within generative AI workflows to manage composition, pose, character, and stylistic consistency
• Strong hands-on experience with generative video tools, including image-to-video and video-to-video workflows
• A strong understanding of composition, lighting, color, perspective, camera and lens characteristics, continuity, and visual consistency
• The ability to critically evaluate generated output, identify visual issues, and iterate efficiently toward a clear creative target
• Experience refining generated assets using multimodal editing tools, compositing, digital painting, or similar techniques
• A strong portfolio demonstrating high-quality visual work across generative imagery and motion content
• The ability to collaborate effectively with artists, technical artists, and production teams in a fast-moving production environment

Nice to have

• A background in compositing, digital matte painting, LookDev, animation, or another relevant production art discipline
