Job Description
Framestore brings together world-class producers, artists, and technologists to craft visually striking work across advertising, episodic, and immersive productions. Our teams blend creative ingenuity with cutting-edge technology to deliver high-end visual effects, immersive storytelling, and premium content for global clients, brands, and broadcasters.
About The Role
The Compositing Supervisor plays a key role in driving the compositing work on a project, overseeing the compositing team and the quality of the work. Working closely with the project’s Visual Effects Supervisor / Creative Director, CG Supervisor, and Producer, the Compositing Supervisor communicates, supervises, and delegates the compositing needs of the project(s) to the compositing team.
The Compositing Supervisor leads by example and maintains a hands-on compositing role, but also takes on project-specific duties, including monitoring shot and overall project progress. The overall aim for the Compositing Supervisor is to build and lead a team that is motivated and enthusiastic, where there are opportunities for each compositor to learn, grow, and produce great work.
