About The Forge
We're a technical production company working at the intersection of craft and technology — motion control, CGI, virtual production, AI-assisted workflows and VFX, alongside retouching, grading and edit. We're known for being tech-forward, and that shapes how we solve problems for clients: Apple, LVMH, Diageo, Tiffany & Co., Graff, De Beers and Watches of Switzerland among them. Fifteen-plus years in, we're still built around getting the image right — however it's made.
The Role
We're hiring a Motion & Compositing Artist to join our production team full-time, in-house. This is a hands-on role at the centre of our motion workflow, built around DaVinci Resolve and Fusion.
Core requirement:
- Strong compositing and cleanup skills in Fusion/Resolve — wire removal, rig removal, paint, tracking, keying, integrating CG or plate elements cleanly.
- At least 3 years' industry experience, specifically within drinks or still life production. We're looking for someone whose background is in that world rather than beauty.
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
We'd love to see one or more of these as well — you don't need all of them, but breadth and curiosity across this list matters more to us than depth in a single lane:
- AI-assisted image/video workflows (generative tools, upscaling, style-locked pipelines)
- CGI (lighting, rendering, integration with live-action plates)
- Unreal Engine / virtual production
- Camera work or live-action capture experience
- Motion control systems (MRMC / Bolt-style rigs or similar)
What We're Looking For
- Someone who treats Fusion/Resolve as a proper toolset, not just a plugin host
- A problem-solver who's comfortable moving between "fix this frame" and "help us build the next pipeline"
- Genuine interest in where technical production and emerging tech meet — not just tool familiarity, but appetite to keep learning
- Able to work to the standard our clients expect: luxury brand-level polish, tight timelines, no shortcuts on quality
