Join the Team

Our FX artists are responsible for collecting a range of 3D assets produced by our graphics and animation departments and creating flow simulations of rigid bodies, particles, and fluids. Under the direction of the FX supervisor and/or CG / VFX Supervisor, you will oversee creating the various effects according to the needs of the project.

Texture Artists are responsible for the creation of a diverse range of texture maps required for computer-generated creatures and hard surface models used in production. Texture artists work closely with modellers, look-development and environment artists to create photo-real assets.

The VFX Coordinator will work closely with the VFX Producer and they assist the Artists and help shots move forward through the pipeline. They play a key role and help strategize and implement tasks and targets crucial to the delivery of the project on time and on budget.

At Base FX, VFX Supervisors are collaborative leaders, integral to our success. They provide careful direction and guidance to our internal teams, connecting the creative vision of the director and client to our supervisors, heads of department, artists and technicians, from concept to delivery.

The Senior Compositor combines live action and computer-generated elements into visual effects shots that realize the vision and creative direction of the client and Visual Effects Supervisor. The compositor is ultimately responsible for the aesthetic integrity and technical quality of the final image delivered to the client.

Reporting directly to Lighting Supervisor and Lead, lighters are responsible for the creation of wide-ranging natural phenomena for a variety of live action feature films. Previously lit and rendered wide ranging assets generated by Houdini effects artists, modellers, texture artists and animators.

To work with our artists and software R&D team, bridging the gap between creative and technical and providing the support for the tools and technologies used to create stunning visuals. Ability to maintain a close relationship with the Creative groups to enhance knowledge of user workflows and guide design and development of pipeline projects that service the teams.

As part of our Animation team, you will collaborate closely with our Head
of Character Animation and other Animators to create realistic animation
with convincing performances and motion. You should be skilled in
creature, character, or rigid body animation, and able to deliver your work
within tight deadlines. You will be conscious of project schedules and work
diligently to meet these objectives while adhering to the Base FX pipeline
framework.

As a Creature FX Artist, you will be responsible for setting up skin, muscle,
cloth, hair, and fur on our creatures. Your primary objective will be to
develop and design tools and setups that can handle a variety of complex
creature deformations. This role requires a balance of technical and
creative skills. The ability to script pipeline tools that can streamline shot-
making processes will be an added advantage.

At Base FX, Matte Painters are responsible for producing photo-realistic
matte paintings that can either enhance or replace live action footage.
Their expertise lies in working with different types of media, such as live
action footage, still photography, rendered CG elements, and digital
painting, to craft realistic environments for high-end VFX feature films.

The Environment Generalist at Base FX are enthusiastic about
collaborative problem-solving. You will devise efficient methodologies and
workflows to create cutting-edge environments for the highest quality
feature film projects.

Our FX Artists gather a variety of 3D assets produced by our Layout and
Animation departments and creating rigid body, particle and fluid
simulations.

The Base FX Matchmove team’s main responsibility is to ensure a
seamless integration of basic line up geometry and relevant scene data
with the actual scene. To accomplish this, they use our in-house software
to recreate the original background plate photography. Initially, they track
the camera and calculate lens distortion, but they can also perform body
tracking and object tracking if necessary.
