About the Role

We are seeking a highly skilled Mid-Senior Compositor with strong experience in high-end VFX compositing, especially for face-heavy work such as de-aging, face replacement, lip-sync, digital doubles, facial cleanup, and actor enhancement. The ideal candidate should have a strong eye for realism, excellent Nuke skills, and hands-on experience with tracking, CG integration, cleanup, beauty work, and facial detail preservation. Knowledge of KeenTools, FaceBuilder, GeoTracker, and mesh tracking workflows is highly important for this role.

Responsibilities

• Composite live-action plates, CG elements, digital faces, and VFX layers into seamless final shots.
• Work on shots involving de-aging, face replacement, lip-sync correction, digital doubles, and actor performance enhancement.
• Integrate facial renders, neural-rendered outputs, CG passes, clean plates, mattes, and tracked elements into live-action footage.
• Use KeenTools FaceBuilder and GeoTracker for facial reconstruction, mesh tracking, object tracking, and matchmove-assisted compositing.
• Handle complex compositing tasks including keying, roto integration, paint cleanup, beauty work, relighting, color correction, grain matching, defocus, motion blur, and edge integration.
• Preserve facial realism, skin texture, stubble, pores, wrinkles, lighting, and continuity across shots.
• Work closely with VFX Supervisors, CG Artists, Roto/Paint Artists, Matchmove Artists, and production teams.
• Review incoming roto, paint, matchmove, and CG elements to ensure they meet shot requirements.
• Troubleshoot technical and creative challenges in face replacement, de-aging, and lip-sync workflows.
• Maintain high-quality standards while delivering shots within production deadlines.
• Mentor junior artists and support the team in improving shot quality and workflow efficiency.

Qualifications

• 5+ years of professional compositing experience in VFX, film, OTT, or advertising.

Required Skills

• Strong proficiency in Foundry Nuke.
• Hands-on experience with KeenTools FaceBuilder, GeoTracker, and mesh tracking workflows.
• Strong understanding of camera tracking, object tracking, matchmove, facial tracking, and 3D-assisted compositing.
• Experience with de-aging, face replacement, digital doubles, beauty work, lip-sync, or facial VFX shots.
• Excellent understanding of CG render passes, AOVs, lighting, shadows, reflections, depth, and integration techniques.
• Strong knowledge of roto, paint, cleanup, keying, color correction, grain management, and final shot finishing.
• Ability to match facial lighting, skin tone, texture, motion blur, edges, and plate characteristics accurately.
• Strong artistic eye for realism, continuity, and cinematic quality.
• Ability to work independently and lead complex shots from start to final delivery.

Preferred Skills

• Experience working on feature films, high-end OTT projects, commercials, or celebrity/actor-based VFX work.
• Experience with digital human pipelines, 3D/4D scans, photogrammetry, facial performance capture, or AI-assisted VFX workflows.
• Familiarity with Maya, Blender, Unreal Engine, or other 3D tools.
• Understanding of facial anatomy, digital doubles, neural rendering, and actor performance enhancement workflows.
• Experience mentoring junior compositors or leading small shot teams is a plus.
