Job Description

We are looking for a Senior Compositor who reflects the innovative spirit, creative talent, production excellence, collaborative mindset and passion for great filmmaking that define ILM.

  • Perform all tasks associated with the compositing process, including 2D tracking, matte extraction, layering of elements, and color grading on difficult shots.
  • Maintain the overall look, color balance, and quality for assigned shots and sequences to create uniformity in all finished work.
  • Create generic looks for other artists to apply.
  • Work collaboratively with artists from other disciplines.
  • Independently provide solutions to technical and aesthetic problems with minimal direction, and can handle the most difficult tasks under intense time pressure.

What We’re Looking For

  • At least 5 years relevant professional VFX experience and at least a college level diploma in computer graphics, fine arts, design, or photography, or related field; OR at least 7 years relevant professional VFX experience in lieu of education.
  • Strong knowledge of Nuke.
  • Strong aesthetic skills in judging photo-realism and colour.
  • Ability to work gracefully under pressure to meet deadlines.
  • Strong sense of composition, color and design.
  • Ideal candidate has strong fine arts foundation skills, such as photography and photographic lighting.
  • Nice to have:
  • Can quickly learn new software and techniques.
  • Strong communication skills.
  • Familiarity with using Linux systems.
  • Previous experience in look development and sequence supervision is ideal.
  • Ability to write Nuke gizmos and/or plugins.
  • Python and/or C++ knowledge.

The hiring range for this position in San Francisco, CA is $132,300 to $169,300 per year. The base pay actually offered will take into account internal equity and also may vary depending on the candidate’s geographic region, job-related knowledge, skills, and experience among other factors. A bonus and/or long-term incentive units may be provided as part of the compensation package, in addition to the full range of medical, financial, and/or other benefits, dependent on the level and position offered.
