Job description
Description du poste

This hybrid role will allow an artist to contribute both to the 2D FX department and to scene compositing in Harmony. Both aspects of the position are considered essential and of equal importance.

For compositing, the artist is responsible for assembling scenes in Harmony using the provided elements (colored backgrounds, animation, and FX when required, as well as sound references). Referring to the animatic and animation, they build the shots, integrate FX elements, set up camera moves, shot transitions, and any necessary multiplane setups.

The artist also performs final compositing of the scenes by applying lighting, shadow, color, and atmospheric adjustments. They may also be required to perform line boiling and update rigs in final scenes when needed. Once compositing is complete, they are responsible for renders and delivery files.

Finally, the artist contributes to the FX department by creating and animating traditional 2D effects, including texture animation, ground shadows, tones, highlights, and other 2D treatment effects in line with the production’s artistic direction.

Responsibilities:

  • Perform compositing and rendering of animated scenes and film sequences.
  • Apply camera moves, shot transitions, mattes, color corrections, and compositing effects.
  • Set up and manage multiplane setups.
  • Perform line boiling where required.
  • Update rigs in final scenes when necessary.
  • Create and animate traditional 2D FX (textures, ground shadows, tones, highlights, etc.).
  • Collaborate with the FX Lead to develop FX approaches and tools suited to the production.
  • Define project needs with supervisors and leads.
  • Manage rendered files and ensure correct naming conventions.
  • Meet production deadlines and project objectives.

Qualifications

  • Strong skills in compositing and FX in Harmony.
  • Excellent proficiency in Toon Boom Harmony.
  • Experience in traditional 2D FX and effects animation.
  • Strong technical foundations: rotoscoping, tracking, paint, color correction.
  • Experience in multi-pass compositing and element integration.
  • Experience in multiplane and camera work within Harmony.
  • Experience with line boiling and stylistic animation adjustments.
  • Ability to modify and update rigs in final scenes.
  • Strong eye for detail, composition, lighting, and color.
  • Ability to follow direction and work efficiently within a team.
  • Minimum 3 years of production experience (film, series, or advertising).
  • Adobe Suite experience is considered an asset.
  • Strong communication and time management skills.
  • Willingness to continuously expand their skill set by learning new techniques.
  • Position open to Quebec residents only.
