The main company for this position is 'Double Negative' currently in London England. The companies that I would want to work for are: Method Studious, Double Negative, The Mill and Jellyfish.
The role of this is to combine, all of the elements that are required in the final shot into the frames, this means that you must understand all forms of animation and VFX. This role also requires that you are able to evaluate certain shots (including animated and live action), to make sure that they are able to meld together seamlessly. Since that this is also a senior position, you must be able to keep the other compositors on track with their own work.
The way that these jobs tend to work are temporary contracts that can last for around 1 year (considering that this would be mostly in post production for the work and pre-production for finding other compositors). If I want to change companies is something I still need to decide. However since most of the work would be overseas it might be difficult to keep up with.
The way I will get to this roll is by entering the industry as a Rotoscope Artist for a few years, then work my way through the positions. Eventually, with enough experience and the right portfolio, I will be able to get the position and in time, who knows, I might be able to be a VFX supervisor.
For this role I need to be able to:
- Make decisions without any supervision
- Work well to balance the intentions of all departments in VFX
- Have a good eye for detail
- Have respect for the requirements of each department
- Able to work as and/or a team and be able to lead the team
- Show leadership skills
- Have knowledge of all key processes on the VFX pipeline.
- Have knowledge in other programs, including Photoshop and After effects
These are also not including the requirements for if the situation changes and have to adapt to the new forms of supply and demand for the required shots.
