Are there levels in becoming an Effects TD?

Are there levels in becoming an Effects TD? For example, before one can become a Compositor, one has to become a Roto and then a Jr. Compositor, right? (of course, one can jump right away to doing Comp’ing right away, but let’s ignore that for now.)

Does the Effects TD position have a similar pathway like a Compositor’s?

New After effects roto paint

I have tested yesterday,pretty god,not perfect of course,but for some things really cool,i wasn’t expected that good,in Photoshop also it works very cool.

Wish something like this in nuke for some quick dirty mask,i mean for preview its more than fine

Freshers as junior compositors ?

Hello Vfxtalkers,
I am from India.I have a doubt, what if i master comping softwares, excel in my craft and end up with a strong Reel, the one thing i will be missing is experience, which i know counts very much in my resume.

If i do some Internships and get some production experience then will i be able to get a decent job of at least a Jr. Compositor and bypass the Roto job ?

I mean do freshers with good knowledge and strong Reel but no well production experience get hired as Jr.Compositors?

For all the geeks out there…
