We will require the successful applicant to manage time effectively, meet deadlines, bring ideas to life, and have creative input into pre-production.

You will work alongside a Producer to ensure we are producing the highest standard of work, pushing our boundaries and making suggestions about creative decisions.
Project-dependant, you may be required to go on set and provide VFX support and guidance to crew and clients, ensuring Orillo has the assets required to fulfill each job - but you will have the support of the in-house VFX team to prepare for this.
