Paint Artist

As a Paint Artist, you will be responsible for digital paint work in post-production, specifically focusing on frame-by-frame clean-up, wire/rig removal, and touch-up of visual effects shots. Your keen eye for detail and ability to match the creative vision will ensure that final shots are polished and seamless. You will perform digital paint tasks, including the removal of rigs, wires, markers, and other unwanted elements from footage. Additionally, you will handle intricate clean-up work on a per-frame basis to ensure continuity and high-quality final results. Collaborating with compositors and other artists to create or retouch mattes for final compositing will be part of your responsibilities. Ensuring all paint work blends seamlessly with the original footage while maintaining visual continuity across shots is crucial. You will work closely with the compositing and VFX teams to maintain consistency and quality across the project. Adhering to deadlines and completing paint tasks efficiently while maintaining a high standard of work is essential. Participating in regular review sessions to receive feedback and make necessary revisions will also be expected. To qualify for this role, you should have 3 to 5 years of experience as a Paint Artist in the VFX or CGI industry. Strong knowledge of industry-standard software such as Nuke, Photoshop, Silhouette, or similar digital paint tools is required. Exceptional attention to detail and the ability to perform precise, high-quality paint work are essential. Problem-solving skills and the ability to troubleshoot and creatively solve paint-related challenges are necessary. You should be a team player with the ability to work collaboratively within a team while managing time and priorities independently. A portfolio or demo reel showcasing relevant paint and clean-up work in VFX is a requirement. Preferred skills include a basic understanding of compositing workflows and techniques, experience using Shotgun or other project management tools for tracking work, and a background in traditional art or painting, which is advantageous but not required.,
