  • Establish technical standards for seamless handoffs between CGI, compositing, photography, motion, and post-production teams.
  • Define render outputs, AOVs, utility passes, and delivery specifications that support efficient downstream production.
  • Contribute to the evolution of HOME by identifying opportunities where AI-enabled workflows can enhance creative production without compromising artistic quality.

Required Qualifications:
  • Bachelor's degree in Computer Graphics, Animation, Visual Effects, Digital Arts, or equivalent professional experience.
  • 8+ years of experience in CGI, VFX, or digital production, with demonstrated leadership experience.
