About this position:

The Roto Artist is responsible for creating mattes that accurately reflect the motion of a particular object/s over a series of frames in 2D. This involves sophisticated shape creation/editing; shape animation by hand and with trackers; and shape compositing, fill modes and opacity settings. The Roto Artist may also review/revise Roto work coming into the studio for quality assurance, so an eye for detail is a must.

Working with a team, including a lead artist and supervisors, the Roto Artist must creatively interpret and apply artistic concepts. We’re looking for individuals with solid rotoscopy skills/experience, working knowledge of Silhouette software, and a healthy dose of team spirit. Taking direction/critiques, interpreting notes and learning/applying new skills are key parts of everyday life in our studio.
