Art Director
About the role
The Art Director sets the visual style and design for the film, turning big-picture visual concepts into production-ready assets. CombineFX is a generative visual effects pipeline built to expand what independent filmmakers can put on screen without removing the artists who make filmmaking possible. Its technology works alongside cinematographers, production designers, costume designers, set decorators, VFX artists, and their crews, giving them a broader canvas on which to create. By combining traditional filmmaking craft with new generative tools, CombineFX helps filmmakers extend sets, build environments, enhance practical design, and create worlds that would traditionally require far larger budgets. Technology doesn’t make the creative decisions the filmmakers do; CombineFX simply gives their ideas somewhere bigger to go. This role combines exceptional artistic ability with expertise in generative tools to produce assets ranging from early concept exploration through final, production-quality imagery. The Art Director is expected to produce artwork as well as manage a small team of visual specialists to complete all set, prop, and visual effects design for the film.
