  • VFX Pipeline Knowledge: Good understanding of the VFX pipeline, including tracking, matte extraction, roto, paint fixes, color correction, and projection techniques.
  • Communication: Excellent communication and interpersonal skills, with the ability to work collaboratively within a team and independently under pressure.
