Key tasks are as follow:

· Organise cineSync session with other facilities and/or clients

· Assist VFX Editors in all aspects of a show

· Be the lead for any PR or Showreel work

· Aiding in any pipeline/RnD issues surrounding outsource or Showreel work

· Editing, conforming and managing any reels produced

· Partner VFX Editors to gain knowledge about a show and how it operates to be able to stand in to support/cover

· Learn the tools required to be a VFX Editor (ie. Truelight)

· Master all Monthlies, and work closely with the Screening Room to ensure no hiccups

· Train and guide any Editorial Assistants so they get an introduction to how shows work

· Offer alternative working methods if the possibility arises that the Senior will be overworked

· Meet with Production teams to discuss constantly moving requirements and have enough knowledge to suggest or rebuke ideas

· To work close enough to the Seniors to be able to provide faultless cover if illness or holiday arises

· The ability to converse and request support, fixes, repairs from all major support teams including Engineering, Mac Support, Systems, IT and Hub Support
