VFX Artist

Summary

VFX Artist blends traditional compositing and 3D skills with AI-powered video generation to create and refine visual effects for film, commercials, and social media using tools like Adobe Suite, Maya, and AI platforms (Runway, Midjourney, etc.).

About the Role

Hi! CraveFX is looking for a VFX Artist with hands-on experience in AI-powered video generation and AI-assisted production workflows to join our creative team. This role sits at the intersection of traditional VFX craft and emerging generative AI tools — you'll help us push visual storytelling forward by blending classic compositing/animation skills with cutting-edge AI pipelines (text-to-video, image-to-video, AI upscaling, style transfer, generative asset creation, and more).

This is a great fit for someone who is equally comfortable in Adobe Creative Suites and 3D software like Blender,Maya,C4D as they are prompting and fine-tuning AI models, and who's excited to help define what "AI-native VFX" looks like for our studio.

Job Scope & Responsibilities

Your responsibilities include but are not limited to:

  • Create and composite visual effects for film, commercial, social using both traditional VFX tools and AI-generation platforms (e.g., Runway, Seedance, Kling, Stable Diffusion/ComfyUI, Midjourney, etc.)
  • Generate and refine AI video/image outputs (text-to-video, image-to-video, video-to-video, inpainting, motion brush, style transfer) and integrate them seamlessly with live-action or CG footage
  • Perform rotoscoping and matte creation for clean plate extraction, isolating elements for compositing
  • Execute 2D/3D camera tracking and match moving to accurately integrate CG, AI-generated, or live-action elements into shots
  • Composite and finish shots in After Effects, integrating traditional VFX, 3D renders, and AI-generated elements into polished final output
  • Build and animate 3D assets, environments, or simulations in Maya to support VFX shots and AI-assisted workflows (e.g., as base plates, depth references, or previz for generative tools)
  • Provide on-site supervision during shoots, advising on-set on VFX/AI requirements (tracking markers, clean plates, lighting references, green/blue screen setup) to ensure footage is production-ready for post
  • Prototype and test new AI models/tools, evaluate outputs for consistency, quality, and creative fit, and recommend adoption into production workflows
  • Collaborate with directors, DPs, editors, and designers on set and in post to translate creative briefs into AI-assisted visual solutions
  • Troubleshoot common AI-generation issues (temporal flicker, character/object consistency, artifacting) and apply post-processing fixes
  • Maintain organized project files, prompt libraries, and documentation of AI and pipeline workflows for team reuse
  • Stay current on the fast-evolving AI video landscape and proactively bring new tools/techniques to the team
  • Ensure all work complies with studio/client guidelines on AI usage, licensing, and IP considerations

Required Qualifications

  • 1-3 years of professional experience in VFX, motion graphics, animation, or a related creative production role
  • Proficiency in Adobe Creative Suites (compositing, motion graphics, VFX)
  • Proficiency in Autodesk Maya (3D modeling, animation, basic rendering)
  • Solid grounding in core VFX pipeline skills, including:Rotoscoping and matte/garbage-matte creationCamera tracking / match moving (2D and 3D)Keying (green/blue screen) and clean plate workBasic color matching/grading for shot integration
  • Experience with on-set/on-site VFX supervision — comfortable advising production on tracking markers, clean plates, reference balls/grey cards, and green/blue screen setup
  • Practical, portfolio-backed experience using AI video/image generation tools (e.g., Seedance 2.0, Higgsfield, Nano Banana, Google Veo, Runway Gen-3/4, Pika, Kling, OpenAI Sora, Stable Diffusion, ComfyUI, Midjourney)
  • Solid understanding of prompt engineering for visual/video generation (framing, camera language, style/consistency control)
  • Experience integrating AI-generated elements with live-action or CG plates (tracking, color matching, roto/keying)
  • Basic scripting/automation skills (Python, or node-based tools like ComfyUI) a plus
  • Knowledge in Blender, Houdini & C4D is a plus
  • A demo reel showcasing both traditional VFX work and AI-assisted work

Nice to Have

  • Experience with 3D/CG pipelines (Blender, Maya, Houdini) and integrating AI tools into 3D workflows
  • Experience building custom ComfyUI workflows or API-based generation pipelines
