A strong artistic foundation and excellent visual judgment, particularly for photorealistic imagery.
Strong professional experience creating high-quality visual content in film, VFX, animation, games, or a similar creative production environment.
Hands-on experience using generative AI tools to create and refine high-quality, photorealistic imagery.
Experience with node-based generative AI workflows such as ComfyUI or similar graph-based tools.
Experience using conditioning and control techniques within generative AI workflows for managing composition, pose, character, and stylistic consistency.
Strong hands-on experience with generative video tools, including image-to-video and video-to-video workflows.
A solid understanding of composition, lighting, color, perspective, camera and lens characteristics, continuity, and visual consistency.
The ability to critically evaluate generated output, identify visual issues, and iterate efficiently towards a clear creative target.
Experience refining generated assets using multimodal editing tools, compositing, digital painting, or similar techniques.
A strong portfolio demonstrating high-quality visual work across generative imagery and motion content.
The ability to collaborate effectively with artists, technical artists, and production teams in a fast-paced production environment.
