Compositor
Full time | Hong Kong
Job Description
As compositing is the last step of the VFX pipeline, compositors must combine all the 2D and 3D elements that make up a shot, ensuring they appear as though they naturally belong in the same space. For example, they may be given a foreground element that has been shot in front of a green screen which they need to integrate with a matte-painted background, CG characters, and FX elements. Compositors are often also responsible for smoothing out an actor’s appearance to appear younger (de-aging), and adding 2D effects such as dust particles, lens flare, motion blur, and graphics.
Key Responsibilities
Integrating 2D and 3D elements of a shot while balancing the creative and technical side of each component
Paint fixes, rotoscoping, chroma keying, colour and grading continuity, graining/degraining images
Stitching plates (live-action footage) together
Working with blue/green screen effects, creating mattes
Enhancing lighting effects and creating convincing shadows within a shot
Integrating rear projection into background images
Required skills & experience
A solid understanding of composition, color theory, and image properties
Strong understanding on the visual effects pipeline
Extensive Nuke knowledge and experience (demonstrated via showreel)
Photographic skills - understanding depth of field, shutter speed, lighting, aperture, composition, and framing
An understanding of stereo (3D) and anamorphic compositing in Nuke
