Job description

We need a Junior VFX Artist to join our team for an upcoming commercial project, bringing a touch of subtle magic to everyday moments. This commercial is for a well-known food brand, aiming for a warm, inviting, and slightly whimsical tone. We're looking for someone to help create those 'blink and you'll miss it' visual enhancements that elevate the narrative without feeling overtly CGI. Your main responsibilities will include rotoscoping, compositing, basic motion graphics, and clean-up work (e.g., removing rigs, minor set enhancements). You’ll be working closely with a small post-production team, taking direction and contributing your creative input where appropriate. This is an excellent opportunity for someone looking to build their reel on a real-world commercial. We need you to have a solid understanding of Adobe After Effects and ideally some experience with Nuke or Fusion. Please provide a link to your reel showcasing your best work. This is a freelance position based in London, UK, expected to be about 3-4 weeks of work, starting around October 8, 2026. Compensation is dependent on experience. We're hoping to make a decision by November 20, 2026, so please apply by then.
