vfx supervisor
The vfx supervisor is responsible for the entire visual effects project. They manage the VFX pipeline, including all VFX artists working in the process. They are ultimately responsible for all VFX elements produced by their company or studio for a project. vfx supervisors handle projects from the early stages of pre-production. They are the main point of contact between the VFX studio and the director or producer of the film or TV show. Together they decide what visual effects are needed for each shot of the film, and the VFX Supervisor then works with the VFX artist to create mock-ups for presentation. These can include concept art and 3D computer-generated images. The mock-ups help to inform the style of VFX in production. As the film comes together in post-production, the VFX Supervisor continues to lead their team. They oversee the quality of all work produced and ensure it meets the director’s or producer’s vision. vfx supervisors need to have excellent design, colour and composition skills understand the camera, cinematography and how films are made and be able to influence shots to make them suitable for visual effects. Proficiency in the use of Maya, Nuke, Photoshop and other related programs. And the ability to communicate well with the director or producer for pre-production as well as the leadership to share the director’s or producer’s vision for the film with the VFX artists in all departments assigning staff work. If I had been working in the vfx industry I wish I had applied for this position earlier. I wish I had applied for this position sooner because it would have given me more room to work on a production.
