Compositor/Prep-Artist required immediately

Hello,

We are based out of Vancouver, Canada, and we are looking for a compositor to help us on an intern volunteer freelance basis, to clean green screen plates and possibly comp, if they are available. We have found many talented people on VFXTALK, we just need one more to help us out.

Our short film is nearing completion, and we just need a few more shots done. The film will be sent to festivals, and we are trying to make those deadlines within the next few weeks, and into mid November.

The film is a dark Children’s fantasy, set in gothic victorian time, narrated throughout the entire film. Not for profit.

Attached are some images. This is an exciting short, with lots of festival potential.

We are looking for someone who uses Nuke, can work with FTP, and has open availability to work DAILY on shots.

*ONLY those who can commit to working daily on their shots, will be considered. We are not interested in dragging out the film because of an artists inability to work on their assigned work, within a timely manner.

All artists are credited in the film/website only once work is approved, and complete. They will also receive a copy of the film.

-2D Tracking
-Plate Clean up
-Comping assets
-Match established Color Correction

Despite the volunteer basis, we ask that you treat this as any other opportunity, serious committed applicants only.

Please let us know, by sending your reel and resume, location to phatalbert_animate (at) hotmail (dot) com.

This position is ASAP.

Thank you,

-Albert
