About the Role
Framestore brings together world-class producers, artists, and technologists to craft visually striking work across Advertising, Episodic, and Immersive projects within the London team. Our teams blend creative ingenuity with cutting-edge technology to deliver high-end visual effects, immersive storytelling, and premium content for global clients, brands, and broadcasters. Driven by creativity and inspired by the future, we set out every day to reframe the possible.

This existing role focuses on creating and reconstructing imagery that does not exist. The position involves generating rotoscoping mattes for Compositors with a thorough understanding of their application, leveraging Nuke's 3D environment and UV projections to project clean plates using geo data, and writing expressions in Nuke to streamline paint workflows.

Key responsibilities include using patches and frame-by-frame painting techniques to remove rigs and tracking markers, de-graining and re-graining paint work before it leaves the department, creating foreground mattes for Animators to use within Maya, navigating Linux to create shot directories, and completing basic composites in Nuke demonstrating keying, grading, re-timing, and screen insertion skills.

Experience
- Traditional art and design skills including knowledge of composition and colour
- Previous use of Nuke
- Understanding of motion blur and its effect on mattes and patches
- Prior use of a roto-scoping package, ideally Silhouette
- Experience in a Paint and Roto role is desirable
- Prior knowledge of Linux-based operating systems is desirable
- 3D Maya interface experience is desirable
- Understanding of Python scripting to create and edit Framestore gizmos is desirable
- Experience with planar and point tracking software is desirable
- Knowledge of photography and practical lighting is desirable

About You
- A desire to learn new techniques and teach fellow artists
- Excellent organisational and communication skills
- Ability to take feedback constructively
- Good problem-solving skills
- Ability to work collaboratively with other artists

Qualifications
No formal qualifications specified, but strong traditional art and design skills and relevant software experience are required.
